Woman who lived to age 117 had genes keeping her cells ‘younger’, study shows https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/13/supercentenarian-aging-genes-study #GuinnessWorldRecords #Olderpeople #Worldnews #Genetics #Science #Biology #Ageing #USnews #Europe #Spain
There once was a woman so spry
Whose genes kept her young, oh my!
At the age of one-seventeen
She was still lively and keen
Living life with a sparkle in her eye

Elderly lady blew me a kiss!
I was out on my lunch. As I returned to my parked car, I noticed a large SUV struggling to reverse out of their parking spot.
I walked in front of the SUV and calmly waved and talked the tiny lady through backing out and turning the wheel and exiting.
Before she drove off, she smiled and blew me a kiss :)
That could be someone's grandma or mom.
I hope they tell the story about the handsome brown man with beard who helped her - emphasis on handsome of course!
I've run into a slight problem.
I recently replaced my old headphones with a new pair of the same make and model.
But these newer ones fit snug and aren't as comfortable as my old ones. It's actually painful after a while.
So now I'm rawdogging office 'culture' with no headphones on. I'm hearing every phone call, every conversation, every high-heel footstep. Not sure if that's more painful than wearing the headphones.

Worked from home yesterday so contractors could come in and replace the carpet from our flooded basement (finally) and March Break fun with the kid.
Back in the office today. See I don't mind coming in here when I have the option to. Not when I'm forced to.
Big difference, Ya know?

Eye test done. Now I wait for my eye dialation to go back to normal. No serious problems. Just getting old. New glasses ordered. The artificial lens in my right eye has finally settle in after 5 years… so right eye has improved as my left eye has deteriorated. Really needed new glasses!

one of the low-key benefits of working from home is actually being home when your packages arrive so you can quickly hide them before your wife gets home from work...
... or so I would imagine 
Colored my beard today. the 20 and 30 y/o office types can smell an old soul.
They'll eat me alive if they found out my real age.
Can't be delulu. Gotta keep rizzing the skibbidi fanum tax. No cap.
Impromptu hospital visit with Dad (who is OK but defo needs hospital care).
The good: I brought a book and it's excellent
The bad: we've been here for three hours and the cafe isn't open and thus NO TEA (the horror)
More evidence that #poverty kills and a call for a kinder, fairer, and more supportive society. "We find that the major drivers of premature death and aging in our sample are smoking, socioeconomic status and deprivation, ethnicity, physical activity..."

It's #FollowFriday - With the current toxic political climate, I find myself looking for a break from the chaos and disorder.
Reach out if you're posting non-political content.
I'm a 40-ish y/o married dad in the Toronto area. I tell jokes and whine about being a homeowner. I also suffer from crippling depression which I self-medicate with memes and occasional art.

I feel like I can’t see clearly at night anymore. 9pm: Rode home on my scooter and a hill I had no problem going down during the day was absolutely terrifying at night. I dunno. I had to stop at the top and gather my courage. I must get my eyes checked again. Home safe but it was terrifying #motorcycle #ageing
