I'm OLD!!!

[Diecastdeluxe]

Don't feel bad, I had to buy some reading glasses so I could see the monitor. I got tired of craning my neck to see it through my bifocals.

here this may help....LOL....
When I turn 50 a couple years back, I started having to use reading glasses, I always had great eyesight, I'm fine usually in very well lit areas or with reading larger print, but in dim light or reading small print, fine intricate work on the car or wiring etc., "on go the 150 reading glasses"... I also have sometimmers, you know the deal, when you go into a room or the garage & stand there thinking, "what the hell did I come in here for"... Occasionally mosttimmers... Growing old isn't for pussy's, that's for damn sure, old age & treachery, will surpass youth & exuberance every time...LOL...

You know you are old when you're working on the wiring under the dash and you find that those floorboards don't let you move your head back far enough to see what you're doing. What the hell happened? I used to be able to see this fine?
