I Feel Old

Took the kids down the golf driving range to hit a few buckets tonight on this fine UK summer evening.

On the drive home I put Heart FM on and listen to the Saturday night playlist of club yesteryear. Windows down the DJ puts on David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over."

The kids break in to song and seemingly know every word. So I ask them where have they heard or learnt the song before? They look at me as though I'm some kind of Plancton and tell me its from Forza? I ask them what the hell is Forza to be reliably informed its the xbox game i got them for xmas.

Im getting old and i dont like it. And my back aches from the range.

Sawwry, I can only say this because you're probably younger than me.

@Ironicman Check Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) of Yoga & see if you can try it gradually for back pain relief. It worked for me.

@sspec thanks, i just watched a couple of people on youtube and tried it out. It felt good. If I can walk tommorow will keep doing. In the meantime i must go to amazon to order some yoga bottoms.

@Ironicman 👍 Baby steps forward.
Even if you feel the body is exhausted, you should continue what you already started. Takes time to get familiar with one's long forgotten flexibility.

Forget that silly feeling... getting older is a prize life gives to those who lived wisely, ok?

But you still owe me the free lesson on some syntaxis mistakes, remember? You´ll be doing me a favour...

I simply take a Naproxen once in a while,maintain good posture and watch my weight. Best of luck!

Ironicman · 56-60, M

@luv2fly352 what is naproxen? Yes weight is key.. sitting down in a desk job for the last 3 decades hasnt helped..

Keeping as active as i can

@Ironicman Naproxen is similar to most other otc meds but a little stronger, though it's not a narcotic.My V.A. doctor prescribed it for when i need it.
