Signs of old age:
People tell you a movie is bad, and then you don’t go watch it.
People tell you a restaurant is bad and then you don’t go and try it out yourself.

middle age: You have to start trimming your nose and ear hair.
old age: You have to trim your nose and ear hair more than once a week.

The older you get, …
the more your patriarchal blessing makes sense.

Sorry, Books, but the older I get the clearer it is the patriarch who gave me my blessing was – well, it was an open secret he had an outline he followed for everyone and told nearly everyone almost the same thing (I guess the variations were “inspiration”). He had the position due to local church politics, not inspiration; mine is next to useless for me.

But as for me, the sign of old age is that I just don’t care enough about movies anymore to even get recommendations in the first place. I used to be very passionate about films, but the older I get the less I could care. Too many sequels, reboots, remakes, and redones. For example, I have yet to see the latest Bill & Ted movie and likely never will (and I really liked the first two), even though many friends tell me it’s pretty good.

The older you get,….
the more often you think “did I get enough fiber today?”

Why not ask for another patriarchal blessing?

Generally not allowed, except in unusual circumstances. I have a relative who got two, but she got two by basically lying (by omission) during a time before computerization of records.
Since the records state I already have one, the church (as far as I have been told) doesn’t generally allow for a second.
