Ibbygirl Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I just got up from the chair after no more than 20 minutes sitting in front of the computer and my body snapped, crackled and popped like a bowl of Rice Krispies! :tongue_smilie: Why does this happen as you get older?? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbygirl Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 You're no spring chicken anymore, hon. LOL I know! It stinks too because I still feel like I'm 17 in my mind. I think I can do whatever I want and my body says, "NOOO you can't!";) Not to mention I look in the mirror and ask, "who are you??" hehehe:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Yeah - and who stuck those little brown age spots on my hands? I have Grandma hands!!!!! And don't get me started on DNS - Deficient Noun Syndrome ("Child, hand me that, that....thing I use to open the can. The screwdriver, no - spatula,....no - CAN OPENER!!") I will be officially Older Than Dirt this June 27th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 DNS - it makes me quite at home among the old folks at my mom's retirement center. They tell me that I shouldn't have these problems. But I tell them that it doesn't have anything to do with age, it was those ... thingamabobs, you know the thing they give you when you have a ... what's it called ... something that cries ... oh yeah, a baby. Anyway, it's the lobotomy you get with each child - when half your brain seems to disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Virginia Dawn Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 If you lose half your mind after each child what do you have after 5 children?!!! A black hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3littlekeets Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 After 2 months of Glucosamine supplements, I rarely "pop" anymore. It somehow keeps your cartilage pliable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 ROFL You guys are too funny! hehehe Thanks for the laugh. I didn't realize that there was a name for what I've always called "mommy brains". Now I know... it is DNS. hehehe :) Thanks 3littlekeets for the advice on the Glucosamine. I haven't taken it before. The pops don't really bother me, I was just more wondering why it happens when you get older. :) I'll probably try the glucosamine just to see what it does though. :) Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnetteB Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) We call it CRS around here (Can't Remember "Stuff")...anyway, Glucosamine is very helpful. Remember to drink lots of water to lubricate your joints, skin, etc. :001_smile: I am wondering what exactly is "older than dirt?" I'm afraid that I may have missed an important milestone.

sagira Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I just read recently that regular (at least three times a week) sexual intercourse lubricates those joints.. Just something to know ;) Um, hon.. can you.. lubricate my joints? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be officially Older Than Dirt this June 27th. I have this too! Sometimes I actually have the correct word in mind but when I open my mouth something else entirely pops out and sometimes totally random things just pop out. It would be amusing if it wasn't so scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letty's3Angels Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 great, I'm not the only one with DNS. My daughter just told me last week that I need to start saying what I actually mean. Instead of pointing, saying that, that. I am actually wondering how am I going to HS this kids when I can't even remember the names of simple things like spoon and cup.:tongue_smilie: I'm a future HMSCer, thank you for bringing it up. I feel better now.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so the math goes when you have kids as well. But, the capacity for hyperbole increases! Bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROFL :lol::lol::lol: Oh man!! And what a milestone! hehehehehe I drink probably close to a gallon of water a day. I'll give the Glucosamine a shot and see what it does. But does anybody actually know what physciologically causes the pops?? I'm just curious. It might be a good trivia thing to know for cocktail parties when I'm out hobnobbing in South Hampton. Yeah right! hehehe:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
