Oh yeah… turned 50….and not sure how I feel about it.
Should I follow new people or hashtags now that I’m half a century in?

I have bowed to the inevitable and increased the default font size on my phone.
why is it that green is always what is sacrifiiced for nice things
why can't we sacrifice pavement ?
You know, I'm glad that my mom got moved and is closer, and I'm happy to help get her unpacked and organized, but if someone could just inject morphine directly into my lower back and sciatic nerve I'd appreciate it. Thanks. #oldguy #ow #thathurts
Holy shit! I was looking through some old backup CDs! I found a bunch of COBOL I wrote in college! 😆

@BunRab I haven't danced in years for pre-covid #OldGuy reasons, but it is refreshing to learn that sloping floors and people bunching at the bottom are still traditional, as they were when I started dancing in 1978 or so. The other good news, I've been invited to join a band to play for a revived dance later this month.
I haven't been a big gamer in almost a decade, but got a Switch a few months back. I've been playing Breath of the Wild, and it's a blast. However, I need to remember not to start a shrine before going to bed, or sleep is going to be a problem.
Holy crap. As an official #OldGuy I am now using @NPR for music. Jake Blount's #TinyDeskConcerts is damn amazing. #MusicFriday

I recently got a heating pad that is powered via USB for my #OldGuy back.
I’m having all sorts of feelings about my need to “jack in” with the same USB hub I’m using for my work laptop.
This is not the #Cyberpunk future I had planned for myself.
I know it's New Year's Eve, but it's cold, dark, and raining, and it feels like an excellent night to go to bed early. #OldGuy
My buddy has a Harley. He just learned how to ride it. Seems cool and looks fun. I'm thinking of buying one now too I'd love to get a custom Harley. #harley #motorcycles #oldguy
Does anyone remember the BOFH? I"m talking about the Usenet version, not the Network Week or Register version. No?

Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out the nuances here. I see helpful tips from many, and am grateful. I signed up without knowing things like the different servers, and now see my old friends on mastodon.social and the .ca servers. I joined on the first one that came up.... am I missing people on different servers? Can they connect with me?
F*ck, I feel like Grampa figuring out his first VCR

@creckling Thanks. Real problem right now is that my eyes get too tired from social media to read web pages about financial decisions.
