I'll put this in the pub section, because that's where I feel most comfortable.

So, I have been wearing prescription glasses for a while. I should be wearing hearing aids, but I'm too stubborn.

However, I did buy a machine that blasts water between your teeth to remove the crap before brushing and flossing, and I quite like it.

Then I bought a "nasal irrigator". Well that's different, but it blows all the crap out of your head.

I guess it's just a matter of time before I need a walking frame and a colonoscopy bag.

So what machines do you use, other than the bum gun and tooth brush?

 

Apparently "Pink Floyd Welcome to the machine" is age restricted. God help us..

I'll add nail clippers and hair comb to today's machines.

I guess CPAP machine is something else to look forward to.

They might learn about proper thoughtful music, instead of being sheeple.

I could rename this "what do you carry in your manbag"

But English is my second language, and I'm guessing a wheelchair won't fit in your manbag.

It's a colostomy bag not a colonoscopy bag, and I'm still trying to understand what are the OP gripes are bout? that we're getting older in need of accessories to help up mange, what?

English is your first lingo, S'tralian doesn't count as a separate language. ????

If Thailand is "going backwards" they are IMO going in the right direction. I've had enough of the PC, woke, virtue signalling west to prefer Thailand, for all its faults.

Hand? The wife's phone is stuck to her face!

I have a collection of  battery operated machines which drive my girlfriend absolutely silly ????

Are you a good machine or a bad machine?

Maybe not. During a recent holiday my daughter told me that at 66 years old I've stopped snoring, even when tired and after alcohol. A hotel twin bed overnight stay each way there and back. Also my kids told me I wasn't snoring earlier this year while snoozing on the sofa. Maybe your airways will stay clear. I lost my wife in April so I can't verify. ????

Good conversation fodder!  I use an electric toothbrush and a machine with two leads that I attach to my earlobes to generate alpha waves.  I also use all of the machines mentioned so far.

I don't even know what I'm talking about, how do I expect you to keep up?

Something about being prescribed glasses and wondering where it all ends.
