I can't sleep on my side anymore without having pain in my shoulder. I did this all my life, but now i can't.

Rocking my 1st (Harris) Tweed jacket. Nice charity shop find in Scotland.

- Haha...I'm already on the lookout for a 2ndfaxion
- Wolverine wears these: https://www.harristw…jagara
- Love them... but I'm living on a "all days hiking wear" community, and, they already look at me like a weirdo just for wearing jeans and leather boots...OBBTKN
- I wore a few Tweed caps in my 20's. Already dressing like a grandad.PhanLo
- Haha, I am going the opposite...skinny jeans, (dress) sneakers, bracelets...loving it! Best shape of my life at 50, too.formed
- Same as formed. Skinny-ish jeans, decent sneakers, fitted-ish t-shirts, leather bracelets, hoodies, Superdry military-style jackets. Also in my best shape.Continuity
- Fuck 'dressing my age'.Continuity

- My wee brother was rocking Tweed in his early 20s - it's a culture thing, not an age thing. Me, I dress like I'm in my 30s, my hair belies that conceit though..Nairn
- @Continuity - the only people I see wearing SuperDry here in London these days are older than me ;)Nairn

Sometimes I seriously forget if I have posted something on QBN yet or if I was just thinking about posting it. I then fear to double post it.

I promised my 3 years old son that we are going to Home Depot at the ead of the day, I am barely able to work due to the excitement!
- ead = endlajj
- my excitement, that is. He just want a hammer to hit stufflajj
- Once he's hit your big toe, you'll regret the hammer purchase.shapesalad
- explaining "ead = end" = Signs you're getting old ;-)Krassy
- He’s got a few hammers ahead of himscarabin
- Do hammers ever wear down? You only need onedrgs
- I dunno, they seem to just appear and go. Only ever paid for onescarabin
- "the only way to learn how to swim, is in water" It sounds like you should also buy him his first knife.ArchitectofFate
- got my girls theri first counting/sheath(?) knives when they were about that age.ArchitectofFate
- He finally wanted a mesuring tape, my toes are safe. For now.lajj
- haha. I'm still waiting for the day I can get one of those leather utility belts to put all my hammers inIanbolton

The volume of the opening band last night absolutely destroyed my ear drums. And then the headliners came out and only played a little over an hour, which sounds bad but me being old I was happy so I could get home to bed at a sensible hour.
- I've been taking earplugs to concerts for about a decade. Signs I'm old.fooler

Seven hours’ sleep is ideal amount in middle to old age, study finds
- "Bed @ 11, awake @ 7, you'll go to heaven. Bed @ 1 and you won't live long." Ancient Benin Proverb.shapesalad
- ^ at first I read the last 2 words as Bennn ProverbKrassy
- No, Benin, that often forgotten about African country - I'm aiming to bring more awareness to it. I'm bored of hearing about the typical countries.shapesalad
- lol krassy. To be fair, in ancient Benin they'd not have had as much light at night time as we do nowadays, so I imagine there'd be a higher accident rate.Nairn

you buy multiples of items knowing you won't find them again later in life.
my grandfather had dozens of the same pair of shoes. plenty still unworn when he died. they were for running his restaurant / maintaining his house & lawn in.
i bought four of the same collar for my dog. the company may last another ~15 years, but this style and method of construction may pass before she does.
now that I mention it, i should buy another wallet from MAKR soon for the same reasons.

I walked into a fashion boutique, and had a look at a $170 polo and some $700 sneakers. I found myself laughing to myself. I don't give a fuck about that shit anymore. It felt really great. I have other priorities now.
- Henrik Vibskov, Copenhagen, if you care.jagara
- +YakuZoku
- It’s nice to have a more healthy perspective on that kind of rubbish.Chimp
- That shit is for people that exist in a higher monetary bracket. No point trying to fit in with them.shapesalad
- New slaves by Kanye Westnb
- did you ever? both of those prices are ridiculous.imbecile
- Shapesalad, it really isnt just for folk in a higher monetary bracket. In scotland, Glaswegians like to wear brands moreso than the east.microkorg
- Recently on holiday at a campsite on the west coast. Real working class glaswegians there. I've never seen so many Yeezys and designer gear on folk! ;)microkorg
- At one point I cared about other people perceiving me as a fashion conscious person. Now I go for simple, cool and casual, and that’s it.jagara
- I found out how little value dressing in designer clothes added to my life.jagara

The 'new' boots I recently bought are basically that - I've bought them for next winter, not this one. And, at that - they're like the sixth or seventh pair of the exact-same type of boot I've bought since about 2004 or something. I'm so fucking dull.I'm unsure if this marks me as old, as I've basically been doing this since my late twenties, but I have multiple sets of the exact-same clothing combination - long sleeve tee, typically dark blue, jeans, boots. I wear the same shit Every Day, with only slight variations on the theme.
In my late twenties it was Maharishi snopants and some 'fancy' trainers, but that verve has long-since died in me.
- oops. '^' to imbecile's post, although I totally agree with Jagara's sentiment on over-priced shitty footwear.Nairn
- It bemuses me seeing chavs in Balenciagas - like, "You spent a whole paycheque on THOSE?! They cost like £5 to manufacture".Nairn
- On my 11th (or so) pair of black Vans Era.jagara
- What are the boots?drgs
- The only boots I ever post here - https://www.gooutdoo…Nairn
- They're the plainest least bullshat boots I've found. Not techwhizz, not too fuddy duddy, just .. boots. They added in a small detail in the heel a couple ...Nairn
- ..of years back (that 90° L detail) and I wrote to them to please not do any more of that. I fucking hate moulded 'design' on boots, a la..Nairn

- @Nairn: if you wear same stuff every day, spice it up with non-matching socks, it works for me :)rzu-rzu
- Way ahead of you - wearing non-matching (but. same. type - VERY IMPORTANT!) socks. Can't see them under boots and trousers though :)Nairn

- Signs I'm gettin old is that I'd love to go but I'm worried about traffic, parking, standing all day in long lines and paying for $12 beers.fooler
- great line up if I was 18 again. still would love to go.oey_oey
- New places here in Denver are great - almost no lines for drinks, no bathroom lines and great venues. Drinks are outrageous, but good quality.formed
- I'd pay a bunch to see this!formed
