I am stoked about going toilet shopping today

I've been researching the dual flush models, and I'm going to have 3x 13.5 liter (3.5 gallon?) toilets ripped out, and replaced with 4/6 liter dual flush models (ie, half or full flush, depending on the ....consistency... of the stuff in the bowl

[leah]

dude. i picked out a new toilet a couple of years ago and it was the best purchase ever. the thing is capable of flushing a bucket of golf balls!!! it's the best feature of the house.

Congrats. What are you going to do with the outhouse?

I had to get eyeglasses today.
I am not happy.

I am the last of my friends to get a white hair

josh just turned 27 and he's fairly grey already, but it's really evenly distributed so you can't really tell unless his hair is fluffy and sans gel.

i haven't found a single one yet at 31

our dad is about 80% though

[leah]

i think it'll be a while before you do, just because your hair is already lighter colored. our hair is a lot lighter than our parents'!

Look harder, you have them...they just blend in well because you're hair is light colored. By 35, you'll see the sides go and if you grow a beard, you'll notice it in your beard.

i dunno man, girl at work the other day couldn't believe i was 31, she guessed 20

i do occasionally find a brown or black hair, that's even weirder

20????!! i mean... no offense, because you do look very young for your age--i would probably guess 25 myself if i didn't know you. but 20?!??!!?!!

[Arlos]

I don't have much, if any grey in my hair yet, but definitely do in my beard.

I'm another one that gets guessed at being a lot younger than I am. 3 years ago or so, a classmate said he guessed me at mid-20s, and refused to believe late 30s (at the time) until I showed him my drivers license as proof. Hell, I got carded a couple years ago when I went to buy alcohol.... I laughed my ass off over that one.

[leah]

People I meet all think im like 40. I went gray early in life and a rock a pretty heavy beard so everyone thinks im an old man. I have had a beard or goat goin since 2004 or so now and I think id look really fuckin odd if I shaved .

This actually dovetails amusingly into a discussion me and 2 friends were having a year or so back. I was arguing that despite being 40, we were NOT middle aged, given the increase in max ages compared to the past, and I certainly didn't FEEL "Middle-Aged." My friends argued that 40 was middle aged, no matter what. Period, end of story, and I obviously had wet feet and could see the Pyramids, because I was deep in de-nile...

Anyway, this argument was conducted while we were on the way to meet up with some other friends at a club in San Francisco. (the DNA Lounge, if it matters). We walk in, and the musical act playing is a group of rather young women, dressed all in lingerie, doing really bad covers of Michael Jackson songs. I mean, horribly bad. Bad voice, bad playing, etc. Even if you DID like the originals, these were hideous copies, yet all the young'ns there seemed to love them. They got done maybe 20-30 minutes after we got there, and the DJs started in, and if anything, the musical quality went downhill.

We left about a half hour after that, and I just had to note to my friends, "OK, if THAT is what the youth of today finds popular, damn straight I am middle aged...." rofl.

No shit man.

It dawned on me today that a lot of my favorite albums were made in 96 and 97 and that was like 15 years ago. Doesnt seem like it was that long ago that I had pink hair huge jeans and checker board slip ons but I guess it has. Ill be turning 30 in august and I feel ancient

STFU, n00b.

Nigga I got gray hairs on my nutsack and in my austin powers chest carpet . I think im starting to go bald Ive already gone gray like years ago and half my joints dont work properly anymore I am old beyond my years All joking aside I think being bullheaded and having to learn every lesson in life the hard way is what has made me feel so old. Its a bad feeling to look back on the last 10 years or so of my life and wonder what the fuck was I thinking.

At 45, "just for men" beard color is your friend. :p. Except one time I left the shit on too long and looked like Groucho Marx when I got out of the shower. And I don't need reading glasses yet... Still have 20/20 vision (just had a complete physical), but I did notice that when I read I have to hold the book a couple inches further from my face. Heh
