Who knew getting old was going to be so weird?

1. LOL

I know exactly what you’re talking about!

2. No kidding!

I keep wondering why no one told me!

3. Get Moringa leaves or powder

Soak you feet in a warm water mixture of Epson salts and the liquid from infused moringa leaves or a mixture of moringa powder and warm water. Do this two or three times a week. You could also just rub the toes with the warm infused moringa or a mixture of the powder and warm water daily.

15. And always remember that if you

don’t have a sense of humor, die young. What comes with senior status is no child’s play 😀

4. Ear hair. Nose hair.

Enlarged prostate.

Various leakages.

Eyebrow hairs that sprout and grow to 3 feet long overnight.

Your singing in the shower is interrupted by you saying "What the hell is this thing"?

Good times.

10. I'm also having to trim my eyebrows every few days

I finally asked Groc 3 what’s up. Groc said when women have less estrogen - their testosterone might be higher - and make eyebrows grow. Maybe you still have lots of macho testosterone.

I use natural bio identical hormone cream ( estrogen & progesterone)- if I didn’t- my eyebrows might grow even faster.

5. And the list goes on! - But beyond the body, am adding some doctors who are arrogant,

authoritarian, dismissive, judgmental.

6. And the annoyance of trying to find the proper position for your blended bifocals...

...on your nose to see your damn toenails clearly enough if you can manage to reach them after having 2 hip replacements.

11. I've seen those - they look scary to me.

If I end up needing that much help. I will use it for justifying a monthly pedicure.

8. For women - chin hairs!

I once saw a woman at an intersection we were both stopped in plucking chin hairs while looking in her car's rear view mirror.

No way in hell - that is one of the last things I want an audience for.

16. Life is cruel

We lose our close up vision around the same time we sprout chin hairs.

13. I have an ingrown toe nail on my left big toe. How did that happen? Foot dr wants to remove the nail

Says it’ll be uncomfortable..code for pain..for a while but when I looked into it further, it says 3-4 months of recovery. Never heard of such a thing.

17. I worked at an assisted living facility.

Periodically, a specialist (a person with sturdy clippers) would show up to trim the toenails of the many residents who had signed up... for $25 per visit.

Now I'm 66 years of age, and I no longer marvel at that.
