I'm 65, and...

 ...I have never gotten the milk to cereal ratio right when making myself a bowl.

...I very seldom correctly estimate the amount of yarn needed to cast on a new project.  It's usually not enough followed by far too much.

...I'm thinking about getting another tattoo.  I know what, but I don't know where.

...wondering why Social Security and Medicare paperworks are more complicated than college applications.  Maybe they could ask us to write essays explaining why we should be admitted into the programs, highlighting what we would bring to each of them.

...balance has left me.  As in, "Nope.  You're trying to play a young person's game.  You spin quickly and expect to remain upright?  Uh-uh."

When I filled out my SS paperwork I neglected to realize that I would have to pay taxes on it so I never included any withholding. A year later I discovered my error and had to pay a load of cash to the feds and the state. I was in the SS office with a representative when I filled out my forms so you would have thought they might have mentioned it at the time.

Soon it will be worked out and you will be receiving your SS payment at last! I have little balance--I say my inner gyroscope has malfunctioned! lol
