I bought a kayak
- Cool!OBBTKN
- I've had one for years. We don't use it a lot, but it's nice to have. We have a protected bay nearby that doesn't allow motorized boats.lemmy_k
- wait until you buy a stand up paddle boardfooler

- Not a sign of getting old, buying a wooden canoe kit that you build and canvas yourself is a sign you are getting old.shapesalad
- Welcome to the club maq, I got one I take spearfishing at this island by where I live, it's fun and a great escapeYakuZoku
- Very nicecrazyprick
- Why would a kayak be for oldies?Gnash

I had to bump up the size of text on my phone by a couple sizes this week. Turned 45 in December. This must be what happens.
- my eyesight went from a 10 to a 3, in like 3 months at 48yo. sucks.dopepope

I woke up and got out of bed at 6am for absolute no reason at all. I have no deadlines, no meetings, no commute, no kids.

I take Advil / Ibuprofen BEFORE any additional movement in life; IE cycling, jogging/running / etc.
Combined with a 1/2 tab of Gravol (for mild anxiety / stomach) AND this is as (medically) high as I'll probably ever be in my life. Lightly caffeinated as well.
Calculated risk (wisdom) rather than unabashedly chaotic (naivety/youth).
: )
- "unbashful chaos"ideaist
- That... doesn't sound healthy.Nairn
- +1 NairnYakuZoku
- Not healthy, better to be still than to take all those medsOBBTKN

- Inflammation is a double-edged sword, it tears down, but also heals and rebuilds. NSAIDs are incompatible with physical exercisedrgs
- Bodybuilders take arachidonic acid to increase their inflammation. The only exception is when your immune system is out of whack and attacks itself etcdrgs
- Ibuprofen? Dude you're killing your liver.NBQ00
- @NBQ00, I was drinking 24/7 in a (recent) past life of mine.
My liver is on the mend bro.
*thumbsup*ideaist - How old are you, Idealist? I turned 48 this summer and my muscles and joints ache daily. But I just power through it.BonSeff
- In my entire life I've probably only ever taken about 5 pain killer pills... max.shapesalad
- Good on you for stopping drinking. I am coming up on a year. Feels great.BonSeff
- I'm 39; 40 May 12th of this year. Understanding the wealth in health @BonSeff. Thanks AND ending the drink has saved me in every way.ideaist
- That ibuprophen isn’t helping your stomach. Use it too long and you get ulcers. Naproxen/Aleve is the same. And probably aspirin for that matter.monNom

Full midlife crisis.
I've been looking at the second-hand market for days and seriously considering getting rid of my Multipla and buying an Alfa Brera and install on it a LPG kit...
Alfa red, graphite wheels, sunroof, oh my...
As soon as I told my wife about it, she burst out laughing that still echoes around the house :(
Please help me to get the idea out of my head
- I think you can buy a cooler car that can both represent your dick issues and also serve your family well than that Alfaoey_oey
- ;-)oey_oey
- I know... then, better not getting rid of my old, clunky and ugly Fiat.
How quickly you convinced me... LOLOBBTKN - I traded in my SUV for a Hyundai Veloster. It's a fun car, like a go kart with AC. Do it.lemmy_k
- or body kit the Multipla! https://www.carscoop…mydo
- ahahha lovely :) she had her fun, now be a man go and buy that car. its a completely fine car, it isn't yelling midlife crisis at all.sted
- Don't walk back on the idea because in a few years/decade it's going to show up in the form of longing for a stupid sports car and that is going to be a problemsted

- "Age is not a binary"? Is there a zoomer jibberish generator somewhere on the web?jagara
- So old people acting immaturely?Chimp
- Young/old binary is the kind of banal concept a child might think was profound. Time is linear, age is a measure.comicsans
- Read the while thing, it is rabidly bonkers https://changingagin…comicsans
- I identify 20 years older than I amdrgs
- Young/old is binary.
But young and old are fluid.palimpsest - The sound you're hearing now is about a quarter of my brain cells screaming in agony as they die a horrific, painful death after reading this drivel.Continuity

Receding gums.
Anyone have experience with 'Gum-coloured resin' treatment?
- apparently really common these days due to rotary electric toothbrushes. hygienist friend just convinced me to upgrade to sonicare...kingsteven
- not like it'll help me, mouth like stone henge these dayskingsteven
- sonicare does not rotate?drgs
- just resonates back and forth at 261Hz (middle C) apparently thats what cleans. oral-b claim 8800 'movements per min' (146Hz) but the rotation itself is 5Hzkingsteven
- so they're just counting the highest resonance of the mechanism, im not sure how much of that makes it to your teeth.kingsteven
- Sonic care rocks. Been using one for 10+ years. My gums were receding then and haven't gotten any worse.formed
- Last week I had to have periodontal surgery to correct the top left area. Lots of collagen and stitches. It's partially hereditary.CyBrainX

The question now is, 'who will outlive the other...me or QBN?'
I just can't picture coming here at 80, but I would if I lived that long and it's still here. Deep thoughts today....
