You Know You Are Old When

[Jstpssng]

I don't keep candy, cookies or ice cream around because it disappears. I allow myself one candy bar per month.
Unfortunately my favorite-Milky Way Dark- isn't sold in many stores.

Ok...be honest...how many can down a pound of chocolate while watching a movie?
I can...although wife says "you pig!!!".
Then how many can't wait until April 22 when Easter candy is half-price?

Holiday chocolate is on par with wax.
Buy a quality bar and enjoy it.

I allow myself one candy bar a week, a Milky Way Dark chocolate if the Speedway has one when I gas up on Saturday.
I think I have one rattling around in the console in the Suburban from a couple of weeks ago when they were two for $3.

I eat 4 pieces of Dove dark chocolate every evening with a glass of milk.

When you know the day you are going to have to give up the tractor is getting pretty darn close and there is nothing you can do about it.

As you get into your senior years you notice you are getting forgetful and start worrying about getting Alzheimer's

So for all you old farts, next time you loose your keys think about this and relax.

The difference between dementia and Alzheimer's, with dementia you forget where put your keys, with Alzheimer's you don't know you have any keys.

I eat 24 g of 86% Ghirardelli dark chocolate every morning, it cuts my essential tremors by half. Also, the only one that doesn't have any heavy metals in it.

Thank you for your support…

Ghirardelli has a plant nearby and if the breeze is right the scent of chocolate is very noticeable…

The factory also serves ice cream at its small cafe 7 days a week.

My male Dr. Banana Fingers retired a year ago, replaced by a young female. I thought finally, after 30 years, small hands for my prostate exam. "Oh...we don't recommend that after you're 72" she said.

... and you weren't able to convince her to at least check for hernia?

She made that test when she looked at my knees.

Boy, did THAT bring up the wrong image!!

YKYO when you sit on the toilet, and your nuts hit the water.

I've been saving the Schnutz twins and their cousin Tater Head from drowning long as I can remember.
I couldn't have been old since I was 13.

Or a Superman outfit.

I don't know how many times I fell for that one.

I eat a small amount of 100% dark chocolate every few days and the doctors tell me it's a good idea.

"Flavinoids" in quality chocolate are good for you. I make up a trail mix of peanuts, walnuts, cashews and raisins, and pistachios when I can find them. I then smash up a bar of unsweetened chocolate and add it to the mix. I don't even notice the bitter flavor mingling with the nuts.

So about 35 years ago, a study came out that said dark chocolate was good for you. So I went to the local Osco and bought 30 quarter pound bars of Cadbury Royal Dark, and ate one every day for a month. Amazing that you can gain about 20 pounds by consuming 7.5 pounds of chocolate in a month.

I have ADHD, severe ADHD. I can hardly wait until my inability to remember why I opened turned on my computer and opened the browser, or why I walked in the bathroom, gets worse as I age.

With 100% dark, or really any chocolate, you want to avoid "alkyd" or "Dutch Process" chocolate. I've read that these processes, while they make the chocolate taste better, are said to add more bad saturated fat and that's not good for the heart. You almost have to buy organic chocolate but there is plenty sold and I've found the best choices at Walmart.

Another good thing that helps is a spoonful of almond butter every day. It's just ground up almonds in a jar but it can help your good cholesterol. Mine improved a lot and I buy at Costco. It does settle in the jar before use so read my attached thread on how to mix peanut butter in 30 seconds. It's much better this way and almond butter mixes quick.

How to stir peanut butter in 30 seconds.

Here's how you can stir a new jar of 100% peanut butter before you finish reading this. Apologies to all if everyone already knows this but I've done it for years and it was news to me when I figured it out. Anyway, I discovered that an electric drill and a certain kind of egg beater-type...
