For example, mine is that I love watching Antiques Roadshow.
I don’t own a smart phone and never have. Miss me with that Fisher-Price technology.
My age 😁
I’ve started noticing birds, and worse, I’ve started recognizing them.
I volunteered over the summer to track birds at a plot of local conservation land. Went out there at the crack of dawn with binoculars and everything. That’s when I knew I was really getting old.
If you haven’t tried Cornell’s “Merlin” app, I highly recommend it.
Bird watching is peaceful. I love it.
I love that app so much. My Amseln and Kohlmeisen are so sweet.
That app is awesome!

I’ve never installed a banking app.
Woah
When out eating and drinking, my preference is to go and order food and drink at the counter/bar, rather than install some app or give a website all my personal information before I can order.
What? This is a thing at restaurants now?
I’m angry and pessimistic most of the time
I cannot correctly say my kids’ names when I’m stressed out in a hurry. I just end up saying both of their names. Eventually I will be right.
My grandpa was infamous for forgetting which of his three childen he wanted to speak to, so he just used to shout “ChrisEricJen” when he wanted one of them to turn up. He’d then send away the ones he didnt need.
Complaining most music sucks and sounds the same nowadays. The 90s had the best music.
70s. Maybe some 80s, too.
1870s that is
I don’t know much about the populat music of that time. I guess leftover music of the civil war. No jazz influence yet - no tin pan alley. Traditional and folksy, still based on German and English folk. Irish trad (like O’Carolan) would be rising, especially in the cities. I think Captain O’Neill was assembling his collection around that time in Chicago. Jigs And reels. I know (and like) those tunes.
I could make a solid argument for the '60s
And I would love to sit with you and do “research”.
My biggest decision of the day is usually whether I get to have alcohol or pain meds that day. Pain meds usually win.
Blood pressure meds have relieved me of that choice.
If it isn’t done by 10:00 am then it isn’t getting done.
Involuntary groans whenever I sit down or stand up.
I feed pigeons, listen to radio sometimes and I like crossword puzzles
70+ and mine is playing world of warcraft.
How is the WoW community these days? I played A LOT back in the day but stopped about 8 years ago. Have you played for a while? It crosses my mind every so often, just curious.
I try like hell to avoid shopping at peak times. Before Covid, I could shop at 2am, but now I’m one of the oldsters waiting for the place to open at 7 or 8am.
I also like Antiques Roadshow, but only the American version. I don’t give two shits about your mums tea set that was signed by the Queen’s dog-wrangler that you paid 50 quid for that’s now worth 200 pounds.
I’m always up to date on the grocery store sales in my area and when there’s something especially good on sale I will show up at the store when it opens at 7:30.
“Good morning, sir! We open at 8am.”
