I'm not yet old, but I am pretty crusty and a also a bit of a bat.

Sometimes I do think to myself, "Wow, I really am already a crusty old bat of a nurse." :clown:

I am a COB looking in antique stores for one of these gems.

Whoever isn't too decrepit, maybe get one of those gravity gizmos, and hang upside down at some time during the day :up: (or is that :down:???)
