As soon as you get out of the room you were into you remember it's in thereMy fun thing is getting up and walking to another room to get something, get there and forgot why I went in there!
Then I usually have to retrace my steps and look around and try to remember what I went in there for in the first place. Good to get exercise but not so good on the frustration level.
Oh, yes. I've seen a lot of helpful products that I didn't need when I was younger!I found these rubber gripper jar opener things incredibly helpful. I can open jars now that I hadn't been able to open for years before:
Things change as we get older, things we used to do as a much younger self are now becoming a challenge.
But is it only due to our aging bodies?
Recently I've noticed a bone spur on my knuckle on the finger that was jammed back when I was 11 playing outfield in a school softball game... without a glove. Ball hit me straight on my two longest fingers. Bent one up at the first knuckle and turning in the other finger in an odd way.
Noticed this as I was trying to remove the cap from the creamer for my coffee.
I used to not have much struggle opening things but I'm thinking back for the past 6 months maybe and realize it may not just be me.
I looked at the twist off cap, the one you open before the tamper resistant finger pull seal.
Now I don't think it's just me having trouble with this but that the manufacturer of these cardboard liquid containers (milk, creamer, OJ, eggnog and the like) are making the cap smaller. Not in diameter but in thickness. It's hard to grasp onto. I suppose it's a environmental thing but I wonder if they've even considered how it accepts the consumer. Not just the elderly but also others that are impaired of their fine motor skills?
Saw a news bit a few days ago about people buying new cars. The current average monthly payment is $730! We never had a house payment that high. And 1 in 6 people make a car payment of $1,000 per month.Difficult to buy a washer and dryer that costs more than my first car.

Too late on old lady but I'm not short so I can't be little unless my height continues to shrink.
Does that mean we're allowed to be Crochety Tall Old Ladies?That lady also wrote

We're now the "old fogies" of course no one listens to us! I remember when we didn't trust anyone over 30.Being alienated from the current overconfident generation who don't think a boomer has anything of value to say.
Instead of bragging reward yourselfIt’s hard not to brag when I complete an arduous exercise routine.
Lol, i don't remember thatWe're now the "old fogies" of course no one listens to us! I remember when we didn't trust anyone over 30.
