you know that you are getting old when....

When you tell people true stories about the olden days, and they look at you like you're one of the Yorkshiremen from that Monty Python sketch

You wake up again two days after your bending over that bromine-belching flask and adjusting this, that and the other, drip-drip-drip-dripping the funnel full of concentrated sulfuric acid into the sodium bromide, the first day you needed extra pain meds at night after your gas mask irritated the top of your head (long hair isn't really ideal when working with a gas mask on, but damned if I want rid of it, its taken me ages to grow it near halfway down my chest.)

And three days later, you are still sore and aching, even after a shot of 180mg morphine (warning nobody take that as a dose indication. Tolerance. This will kill an opioid naive person most probably, 20-30mg  injected would be a more like it beginning dose. Just so I don't cause a nasty accident) and a good  lot of oxycodone IR capsules, snorted, extracted filtered and shot, and I still fucking ache.

So happy that my kids know Monty Python. I feel decades younger because of that.

I spotted a silver hair this morning.

[odeon]

Found my first in my twenties.

[renaeden]

Oh! I'm 41 so I guess it had to come about sooner or later.

[Lestat]

41? are you having us on, Ren? I'd taken you for early, at most mid 20s. Because you don't look like you've come within a couple of decades of your 40s, I guess you might be able to tell someone '30' and get away with it, depending on the person, but 41? if it was anybody but you yourself told me that I'd call them a fucking liar.

[odeon]

I was never bothered about mine, tbh, and now that most of it is grey, I couldn't care less.

  I found a silver in my 30s, as I recall.  It's graying very slowly, and I'm curious to see how it will look. 

[Queen Victoria]

Whenever I get old I'll let you know.

[Calandale]

Beard went mostly grey a couple years ago. Saddens me a bit.


Bothered more by not being able to eat as much as I'm used to though.

[odeon]

Maybe I'd care more if I lost my hair instead of it changing colour.

[Calandale]

Mine receded a bit, and it definitely put me in a panic. I like playing with it too much.
(hmmm....maybe not just hair I'm talking about)




Nice thing is that blue covers the grey well. :G

[odeon]

Um, what kind of play are we talking about here?
