The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I had to increase the font sizes on all my screens this year.
I had to get a slightly bigger phone so my fingers can type better and I can see the font.
Carry reading glasses to read the back of the effing medication and other food items.
That is one of my biggest pet peeves - everything is written in such a small font. I hate when I have to borrow my wife's glasses at a restaurant in order to be able to read the damn menu. I have enough trouble remembering to carry my phone and wallet, without having to worry about glasses. I do have artificial lenses in both eyes, and while it really helps my eyesight, it doesn't do shit for reading small print.
And to Corn's point - my birthday is closer to 1900 than it is to today, by 20 years

Use your phone. Put it in camera mode and zoom in on the menu.
Good idea
If you have shaky hands. Make a picture and zoom in. Delete the pic after reading.
1953 just 7 years younger than my father and he still don't know how to delete a pic. I'm explaining it to him nearly every weekend.

Hey, that's why we have kids - to do all the computer/gadget stuff for us No shaky hands yet
My neighbor is 79 years old and doesn't have a clue on how to use any electronic stuff. He can answer his cell phone and he can make calls, but that is about it. Texting - forget it. Good thing his wife knows how to use a computer.

In 2026 these songs celebrate 50 years of existence.
Hotel California
Don't Fear the Reaper
More than a Feeling
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (sounds like a Cuz bio)
Go Your Own Way
The Boys are Back in Town
50 years before that Baby Face and Bye Bye Blackbird were 2 of the top hits of the day.
I can verify that 50 years ago then felt a whole helluva lot longer ago in the past than when Hotel California coming out does now.
Great songs, even the one on the list I don’t personally care for (More Than A Feeling), I really appreciate what’s going on in that song from a craft perspective.
Forget where has the time gone. Where has greatness in popular music gone?
