You know you are getting old when:
I can tell you what helped me with similar problems in my knees and back. One was a book on posture by a guy named Egoscue and the other was SAM E. SAM E is a diet supplement that is the only thing known to regrow worn joints. Although vitamin c can help too. The book was The Egoscue Method Of...- Stanley Doble

You know you are getting old when:
You must know The Sin Of Harold Diddlebock (one of my favorite movies). In it Harold LLoyd plays a 45 year old office clerk fired after 22 years at the same company because he is old and inefficient. His boss points out that he is more humane than his father who fired everybody when they reached...- Stanley Doble

Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests
On the good side the car is very sold and free of the rust that kills so many old cars in the northeast. And the engine runs great with no raps or knocks. At least it ran for a minute today, then quit so I will have to do a little diagnosis tomorrow.- Stanley Doble

Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests
Ha ha terrible picture and terrible colors! Car was originally Sport Beige (a tan color) but was repainted dark blue at some point. Later, someone went to work and painted the front fenders with light blue house paint. I would like to paint it Sport Beige with Scout Brown (chestnut) top. This...- Stanley Doble

Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests
Can take some tomorrow. I have an old Kodak digital and it drives me nuts because every time I go to download a new photo to my computer it will only download ALL 150 PICTURES off the camera or whatever is on there, even though I have downloaded the same pics a dozen times already. And, they...- Stanley Doble

I thought Japan still had one of the highest standards of living in the world and was practically as well off as ever, just not doing as well compared to China and Singapore?- Stanley Doble

It just gets easier to look well dressed. No competition. If you don't look like a wino on a bender or a kid on his way to the playground you are a man of distinction.- Stanley Doble

You know you are getting old when:
My hair started to go gray when I was 26. I use VO5 hair dressing for gray hair, it has a slight blue tint that combats any tendency to dulling or yellowing. I have had compliments on my hair from barbers.- Stanley Doble

Just when you think you'd heard the worst of it ...
I don't want to get into a a big thing so will just say, if revisionism has covered up Japanese racism it has gone the opposite way with Germany. A lot of wartime documents ended up in the Soviet sphere and have only been available to western historians for a few years. David Irving has done...- Stanley Doble

Lost art of proper relaxation
Speaking of class distinctions... there is a leisure organization called the Tin Can Tourists that dates back to the 1920s. It was founded by campers and trailerites who spent the winter in Florida. A common crack was "they come down here with one shirt and a $20 bill and don't change either...- Stanley Doble

Lost art of proper relaxation
The second picture must be the old boy's oldest suit. Either that or the fish put up a heck of a fight. Wait till you see some pictures of English archaeologists from the twenties and earlier in the Egyptian desert at 110 in the shade wearing dark suits ties and wing collars.- Stanley Doble
