Old People Thread

[kozzman555]

Hello old people of CP! Do you ever think about wanting to talk about problems you and other old people have? Is this football forum the only place on the internet you know how to get to? Well look no further! This old man thread is here for you to talk about your trials and tribulations.

Have an itch to complain about how the young generation doesn't know what hard work is? Post it in here! Are there some birds that need yelled or do you have neighbors that play music too loud? We'd love to hear about it! Did you fill your diapers and want to complain about the poor quality of Chinese products? Please regale us!

So if you can barely see letters in this thread without zooming in, but refuse to give up your drivers license, we'd love to read what you have to tell us! Come on in, bring your Werther's candy, and folksy tales of how things used to be!

I'm doing a major closet re-organization right now, and a critical question is whether I keep clothes that are a bit too small for me right now. The optimist in me says, yeah, I'll exercise this year and get back down to fit in those clothes, but I also recognize that some of them have been hearing me say that for five years. How long do you hang on to clothes that are 20 pounds too light for you?

Never know when you're going to need 15 extra charger cables.

I gave away a load of old charger cords, RGB cords, etc. No idea what that dude will do with them, but I didnt need them.

It’s funny, but I actually still have charger cables and I have no clue what they’re for.

I really do have a variety of crown molding saved, in white, natural and dark brown from way back.

Oh and as far as HDMI cables, I have many as well as large box of coax connectors and cables, phone jacks and cables as well as ethernet wall outlets.
