So, as I'm getting older, I'm obviously getting wrinkly, a bit dried out in places, so I use a simple daily cocoa butter cream so I don't look like a creep with ashy legs and elbows.
Got a new one today, and opened up the foil lid inside with every intention of just pulling the lid back on and using it tonight after a shower.
But then, for some fucking reason, my dumb ass, instead of just throwing the foil away...decided to let my old swiss cheese brain take over and convince my arm, hand, and mouth that I had just opened a yogurt.
You guys, I fucking LICKED the cocoa butter body lotion off the foil.
What the fuck??

One of the parents from school is celebrating their Fiftieth with a 90s themed party in a local pizza brewery place, so everyone's getting into the spirit, and I'm digging out all the worst excesses of clothes that sort of fit that era, including Issey Miyake scent, laid on a bit too heavy, and some terrible shades that I bought and age ago and never wore because they were, frankly, awful.
Problem is, I'm going to have to walk a kilometre or so in said garb, looking (and smelling) like an absolute tit.
I always did hate fancy dress.
- Up until an hour ago I Absolutely Was Not Going, but was at a mutual kids b'day and realised I'd be the curmudgeon I am if I didn't give it a go. ffs.Nairn
- The birthday boy is apparently dressed as Mr Motivator, which if you know him is funny because he's an ultra-violet white Northern Irish bloke.Nairn

Paranoia about foamy pee in the morning and whether it's proteinuria in the morning or just dehydraton.
How's your glomerular filtration, dog?
- What?? I'm not going to search for it... Is it dangerous?OBBTKN
- I'm not a hypochondriac, but adding another condition to the already long list of midlife fears... no thanks ;)OBBTKN

The most melancholic thing about ageing is, I think, seeing people much younger than you growing old too.
I've just seen a video taken by someone I knew over fifteen years ago - a beautifully-talented musician who sings in English and French - and .. well, now she's fifteen years older. She felt like she was practically a kid when I knew her, and now she's approaching her forties and is ...well, not that far removed from this old git here with the earned creases and lines described by time.
A stark reminder of my own ageing that I wasn't expecting when I randomly clicked on her facebook storything to see what she's up to.
- Yeah, I hate this. I have younger siblings and the other day was like damn my little sister looks old.cannonball1978
- uncomfortably existentially paralysed while locking eyes with someone who looks exactly like one of your good friends 25 years ago is getting old tookingsteven
- was with my family last night at a 'pre-wedding' party for my wife's cousin...who was our ring bearer almost 30 years ago lol...exador1

I went to a friend's wake last night. He was a couple years older than me, healthy, not obese, married with a 13 year old daughter. Totally out of nowhere, just didn't wake up. Gone. It was an open casket wake, and I was glad I got to see him one last time and say goodbye to him.
We are promised nothing.- RIPPhanLo
- Sad. But, it's kinda the best way to go, if you're gonna go. There's that.dopepope

I recently saw a BMW 3 series parked in our street - that car was the new hot ride everybody wanted around the time when I learned how to drive... It had an "H" license plate. Which means it can be officially registered as an oldtimer in Germany now. I am SHOCKED!

I saw a Bruce Campbell interview. He looks and sounds like an old man now. Ugh.

I was told by my 10yo today that only old people tie their shoelaces (every time). So I guess I'm old.

Going to a vintage store and seeing toys, glassware and clothing you used to play with, drink and eat off of and wear!
- I saw an early Madmen episode showing toddler toys that I remember having at that age.CyBrainX
