51 later this year and I've had that issue for several years now, esp. with the 1970s Topps products with gray backs and green print. WTF were they thinking?!? I'd wager not that old farts like us would still be playing with cards...
I bring a magnifier and my iPhone flashlight to shows now. Age is such fun...

I remember being about 43 and my arms were not long enough when reading in bed. He recommended the cheaters, and fortunately I got away with the 1.25 cheaters for several years. Now at 56, I just graduated to the 1.5's.
Weird thing is I can read a road sign from 200 yards, and see my golf ball land (albeit not all that far away). I like to sit up high at the hockey and football games, to see the whole ice / field. One of the best lines I ever used, years ago on seeing an optometrist. He must have been a lazy SOD, as he asked me "Read the line with the smallest print that you can see". So I sat there, pretended to squint, and then I replied "Printed in Canada". |

I just turned 55 Wednesday and realized that when we went out to eat I couldn't read the menu. I had been using reading glasses from the dollar store for reading books and newspaper, but I guess I need to start taking them to restaurants. It sucks getting old!

Wait till you take your glasses off to put something right next to your face to read it. Then you can't find the glasses you just put down as you can't see well enough without them to find 'em. It's been happening to me lately and I have to ask my wife to help find them..... Yes, getting old sucks.....but there is no good alternative.

The catch-22 is when you need your glasses to find your glasses.
My elderly dad just got expensive glasses and I told my mom maybe we should put a GPS tracking system on them for when he can't find them. Last edited by drcy; 01-09-2016 at 11:53 AM. |
