The couple of drops into your undies after a pee. I don’t care how long you shake and clear, damn those 2-3 drips right after the zip up.
Read this on a bathroom stall one day. "You can shake it, squeeze it, beat it against the wall. It's not till it back in your pants that the last drops will fall".
So damn true, too damn often.

What is the medical cause for this?

I remember the first time I was called "Sir".
I was stationed at the Charleston, S C Naval Base. I attended the Citadel football game. Sone young boy walked up and addressed me as "Sir". That was in 1965.

Middle aged men were calling me "sir" when I was 23.
Remember those fairy tales about a 2LT locking up an E9?
I actually saw it happen as a CPT. Much hilarity ensued over the next few weeks (for us).
Not so much for the butter bar.

First time being in the ER for me. I'm 50 and have been blessed with good health. I lift weights and jog several times a week, only surgery I've ever had was my wisdom teeth and never had any health issues - knock on wood. 2 years ago I went out with some buddies one Saturday to watch some football at a bar and had this damn pain in my groin that kept getting worse. Urgent care sent me to the ER to have an ultrasound done and it was damn kidney stones. First health issue I've ever had and the realization that I'm not invincible anymore started to sink in. Oh, and reading glasses - started wearing them SOB's this year at the office. Father Time is a bastard.

Signs you are getting old
I turned 21 about three months before 2000. Looking back at 47 I tend to associate all things 20th century with my youth and all things 21st century with my adult experience.
I have strong nostalgia for the 20th because I was exposed to literally everything about it - from pop culture to sports to historic moments - at a young age before bills and taxes and car notes and all that jazz. Pretty much nothing but good times and few responsibilities.
It was also a better time to be an American. A much better time.

When you're old, you just know it.

Signs I've notice I'm not a spring chicken:
1) Random back pain from sleeping
2) I jumped off tractor in 2023 and my hip started hurting (hurt for 3 months)
3) I tore my Achillies tendon in 2024 and it took 1.5 yrs to recover
4) Most recently I was at a restaurant, and I pushed the menu away from my face to read it. Never worn glasses before but this moment really made me feel old.
5) I had a cramp in my leg and/or abs the last two times we've had sex.
Need to hit the gym and eye doctor in 2026.

Over the weekend that I turned 40 I stumped my little toe on the back of my bathroom door and broke it. I had been living there for seven years and had never done that before. It hit real hard mentally. I assumed that kind of stuff was going to happen more often. I was right.
Turned 67 last week. I honestly have trouble figuring out whether my joints hurt more when I do my 2.7 mile walk three days in a row, or skip three days in a row. The joints ache either way so I try to do it three or four times a week.

I’ll always use sir regardless of man’s age. With women, I’ll use either miss or ma’am, depending on how old they might be. I err on the high side for miss. It’s the smart thing to do.
But as noted, it’s important to be respectful. Always.

I know I’m officially old now because it’s lots of doctor appointments and tests and specialists for one ailment after another. Example: November was gallbladder removal surgery and January was discovery of cataracts in both eyes.
