40 year overhaul

Or maybe this is my mid-life crisis? I turn 40 in a few months Over the next few months, here’s what I have planned:

Dental work - finally taking care of that tooth that broke the day before Ironman USA 2002 and that weird pain I sometimes have on the other side.

Eyeball care - new prescription for one thing, maybe Lasik for another. I need reading glasses, too. thats a neat new thing.

Rhinoplasty/nose job - decided that I actually cannot stand another 40 years of only being able to breathe through the left side of my nose (bike crash 2001). Having that done in December. Doc will straighten the old schnoz out while he has it removed.

Shoulder - gonna need some meniscus removed in order to swim again without pain - January.

Maybe I should just buy a motorcycle?

I’ll still be short though.

Two words for the last one - shin implants.

It’s true that your eyes start to go when you hit forty. It was almost to the day when hitting the big four-oh that I needed reading glasses. My eyes seemed fine when I was 39.

Didnt your momma tell you that you would go blind?

And, don’t forget your initiation into the wonderful world of prostate care. That’ll make a REAL man outta ya.

Get a super-seven car. Formula-1 handling and road legal. More fun than a motorbike without the need for donating your organs and reusing your retina.

It helps hitting that age so you actually begin to afford stuff like that.

40 isn’t mid life crisis unless you plan to die at 80. hold off for another 10 years. 1’m 51 and still waiting for mine, in fact i don’t yet even know what I want to do when i grow up.

I’d be happy making it to 80!

You can save some time by not dating a 19 year old topless dancer and just flush $10,000 down the toilet.

do you really “date” topless dancers?

If it makes you feel any better, (in my humble 30-year-old opinion), men only really get hot once they’ve hit 40… :wink:

  • Skip the motor cycle…very high % of death.

Good luck with the nose job. Sometimes they make it worse. Just a couple of things to think of before jumping in.

Sounds like words of experience. Easy to piss away money with hot women. Their just looking to pick your pockets.

Thanks. I’ve got no choice. Imagine living with only one nostril. Ever have your nose clogged, like 95% so that when you exhale through it you kind of blow little bubbles. Thats me 100% of the time. The left side is totally clear, the right side blows bubbles. Its kind of horrible.
Plus, every time I get a cold I get a sinus infection, too - no drainage.
