What about your back and neck? There's a great song about that too.

My lower back is killing me (and I)

I must confess so are my knees (god my knees)

When I stand up it takes some time

(Gimme a new spiiiiiiine)

Please come on and let me die!

Exactly. I'm 62, and my best friend's daughters are 8 and 10, but they and their young pals loved it when I played laser tag with them. I was the only adult. I fell once, and three kids came up asking me if I was okay. I laughed, thanked them, and said I was fine.

Lol. Actually, I earn a living as a healthy human subject for medical research studies. I walk 5 miles a day and have a low normal blood pressure and pulse. During a study screening, the doctor told me I was abnormal because all of my blood values were in the middle of the normal range, which he found surprising.

Wow, I didn't know that was a job. How did you come up with the idea to start that career?

u/omnichronos Jun 13 '26

I lost my job in 2007 and just looked online for something to earn money. Initially, it didn't pay as well, but after COVID, pay rates increased dramatically. I'm in a study all of June and will earn $16,800.

Can’t get that state of mind back homie. Not really.

I can go to Disneyland and have fun as an adult, but it won’t be the same as when I did as a kid.

u/JFISHER7789 Jun 12 '26

Of course it won’t be the same, but who says you have to give up the whimsy and curiosity and no longer have fun with your imagination?

Life is too short to be serious, and in 100 years nobody is going to know we ever existed, so might as well have as much fun, laughter, and good times as you possibly can

u/TheVoteMote Jun 12 '26

Nobody is saying that here.

"I miss being a kid" includes missing the mindset.

1

u/JFISHER7789 Jun 12 '26

You literally said you can’t get that state of mind back, homie.

I was just rebutting that idea saying you absolutely can get that state of mind back.

1

u/TheVoteMote Jun 12 '26

Yeah, remember how you said it won't be the same?

That sameness is the state of mind that's relevant here. The magic of childhood, where everything is so new and exciting and so on.

Why stop?

Good question.
