Signs that you are getting older

When you do not know what 6 7 means?

Apparently, I've officially become the neighborhood old(er) stray pet guy. There's a random squad that shows up off the yard now. We have military housing scattered around and get a lot of moving in and out. Unfortunately some shit owners treat pets like they are just furniture and leave them behind from what I can gather. They can go from housed pet to street walker in a week. Some adjust and don't go feral better than others. We've trapped a few and taken them in for the spay and neuter thing but housing and adequate adoption is another issue. Finally found a rescue thru local Spca who touches base at the clinic and comes out when possible. Fortunately many of the neighbors also keep an eye out for them too. We had a brutal snow back in January and shit turned into a "feline nomad commune" with grouping up and sheltering them as best as possible. There are 3 we named Ol' Dirty, Twitch and Colonel Mustard that actually came inside and chilled until mornings. Somehow I just never imagined myself being the guy standing in his front yard feeding and breaking up slap fights between 3-5 cats, a random possum named Fat Travis and the neighbor dogs . Guess this is what happens when you never settle down get married and actually have kids ffs .

Here's a shorter one...for the first time ever I actually went to a local cable provider brick n mortar store location and exchange a bad remote control. Nope I have yet to "cut the cord" totally and hearing "thanks for being a valued loyal customer of 35 tears..." just hits you sideways . Shit felt like a scene out of a Family Guy episode. I think in 2026 it's time to finally dump this void of an entertainment vessel.

Nope, I stayed that way by design. And great timing

Attending more and more funerals as you see off your loved one’s and people who made a difference in your life.

Lost my best friend from school recently. I really thought I would grow old with him and look back at what we achieved in life. He got me into so many memorable scrapes that I would never have tried by myself. He was a joy to be around.

Went to a funeral yesterday of my aunt who was 101 years old. I think she was actually older than that and was just happy and loving in her life. She left beautiful memories and moments.

Life is too short and best to stay positive whilst you interact with others.

Sorry about your heavy losses brother. It is a particular type pf void that as we get older, if we're fortunate is one way to possibly put it, we watch those closest pass on. Was thinking the same just last week with "anniversary" of losing mom and pop 9 and 6 yrs ago on the exact same day. I still say the best friends you make and run deepest with are the ones from youth to adult. Early on. Just got off the phone with a brother from another mother I've known since Jr high 86'. All that time and we've only met up maybe 4,5 times. But somehow manage to talk literally every other week for decades. Cherish the good days.

Sorry to hear it. So true that life is so short. By the grace of God go we in the moment we are in right now typing these posts.

Signs you are getting older I agree 100% a lot of funerals.

Little by little it gets more and more scary. I hope there is something after this.
