Any other old farts, like me, have more doctors than friends?

[multigraincracker]

[ProfessorGAC]

1. More? No

But, I'd say the same number if we count dentists.

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. Not an old fart

But I do have more doctors than friends.

[mountain grammy]

7. What's the old fart age range these days?

[usonian]

9. You're as old as your thinking.

I quit the old fart society long ago.

More Stooges and Mister Bean flicks.

BASIC programming. Hypercard.

Less salad and more chocolate bars.

[NewHendoLib]

12. I'm nearly 70. Mentally feel 40ish most days.

Physically - depends - big range!

18. Yesterday was more than fun. Long drive to shop for stuff (just food, "gift" stores were a fright since Saturday)

Ahead of our Pinepple Express storm (it hit last night).

Got home, unpacked food, went to restart the car to move it to the front of the house.

Nothing, Nada, No lights, no click,

So I got out the voltmeter …12.7 volts on the posts but both clamps were looooooose. Extremely odd, since the car started fine at my last stop. This happened to me one other time, at work, over 20 years ago. Until I got out the wrench and tightened them, the daily panic attack (WTF, this was just working … I had this in my hand 2 minutes ago …)

Got some sleep last night in the windstorm. I moved to the back of the house, away from 30 or 40 mph winds, and put on the FM radio to mask the noise. Inflatable bed to the rescue.

I get better at all these things, but it’s never easy when the 2 by 4 slaps you upside the head.

Almost 77 and with 6 or 7 acres to patrol. Too bad the butler, groundskeeper, chauffeur and on-site watchkeeper and fixer-upper quit.

I get to do it all.

8. That's me. I saw all my "friends" this week and last.

[leftieNanner]

10. Well

Most of my social life involves a blood pressure cuff

[multigraincracker]

11. Things do change.

Lots of wonderful in-laws.
I had only one living relative until I got married again a few years ago now have lots
A lot of that is due to me moving every few years. I think I’ve just bought my last house and have only lived here for about 6 months.
But I have kept a couple of my old doctor. I would have to travel 200 miles to see them, but now we can have phone visits.

[LoisB]

13. I guess so. I have one doctor, one dentist, and no friends.

[Raine]

20. Same with me

one podiatrist, one chiropractor and one dentist ... no friends.

[rzemanfl]

14. No, I just see the doctors more often. n/t

[allegorical oracle]

15. Am lucky enough to have fabulous step-children. They keep me sane. I always call

myself their "wicked" step-mother, but they (fortunately) disagree. One of them just sent me my first-ever i-phone. I don't know how to use it. Anyone have a source where I can learn about it? Have had a couple of flip-phones, but hardly used them -- only for emergencies. I need help.

[Sogo]

19. If you have an Apple Store nearby, they'll help!

If not, YouTube probably has scores of videos on everything Apple.

Good Luck!!

[allegorical oracle]

21. Thanks for your response. No, I live in a rural area. Am lucky to have connections of

any sort. So don't have an Apple stores near me. But I''ll be checking You Tube. Problem is that there are many different models of phones and it's difficut to match up with the one I have. Thanks, again.
