The house I bought in '19 and am selling now had AC added, and, during our purchase our lawyers noticed the property report didn't show it. So we had the sellers update it. The company that did it didn't add the AC and our lawyers signed off. So now we may have to pay for that too.

It's just crazy how people are taking turns making me reach for my ankles.
I'm with you to some extent. I have a bit of extra money hitting my account later this month and thought I might be able to spend it on something fun but my condo management company sent me a letter last week asking for $5700 in mid September for a roof replacement special assessment.

I knew this was coming at some point because my condo board/management has been talking about the roof replacement for a few years now and have been kicking the can down the road on it. They had special meeting about it earlier this summer but I missed it because of vacation and they never sent out any meeting notes but I was preparing to send some money their way.

People focusing on hair loss with chemotherapy really drives me nuts. “Hey your dad is so lucky he didn’t lose his hair eh?”

“Well…. He’s losing his ####ing bladder. But yeah, sure.”

I am seriously kidding, I sympathize with your father as mine went through the same thing.

But...dark humour? Sometimes it helps.

The worst. I'm getting old now (27), so it's happening more and more often. Wake up feeling like you've been hit by an 18-wheeler and mouth as dry as the Sahara.

My wife was trying to convince a woman last month that she needed chemotherapy to survive based on her cancer and she was outright refusing because she would lose her hair. By the end of the meeting, neither my wife, another nurse nor two doctors had her yet convinced.

Just bizarre.

27 isn't old... especially if childless.

Meh, he's the oldest he's ever been.

We can do that all the way up the chain. If you're 50 you're young to an 80-year-old. I'm 46. Both the oldest I've ever been and the youngest I'll ever be again.

It's all relative...he's definitely at an age where he'll notice he can't stay out as late as easily or frequently as he used to, hangovers hit harder, some friends probably have kids and barely leave the house, etc. etc. You can start seeing the beginning of the progression toward middle agedness at 27.

I get what you're saying, too, of course. Just didn't want Cam to feel like an idiot for saying what he did.

I'd trade 62 for 27 in a heartbeat.

That's the gummies, friend.

27 and old? We need to get off the hockey board where 30 is viewed as ancient.

I think it’s pretty universally understood that 60 is older than 30, so pointing it out is weird. But there definitely hits a point in your 20s where, for the first time in your life, you start to feel older in a negative way. Until then getting older just means bigger and better things, and it can still mean that, but you start to experience the negatives of getting older, too.

Really, we’re all getting older and we’re all experiencing aging and whatever comes with that. Some of you are just going to die first.

It sounds like you should get a sleep study.

Turning 40 this year, still feel like I'm 23. Old at 27 is a tragedy. Flip the script on that crap right now, imo.

I was a teenage alcoholic until I was 28 years old. Now at 75 I feel middle-aged, not sure about feeling this way for 75 years but I’ll do it if I can.

I wouldn’t. My 60s are better than my 20s. I’m having a blast. Sitting on my deck now doing some consulting work. Life is good. I know that I’ll likely die before someone in his 20s but in 60 or 70 years we’ll all be dead anyway and I’ll have led a great life.
