This is a thread for ILXors in their 30's!!! yo yo yo breakdancing etc...

We all go crisis when and how we choose I guess

No posting in this thread til your back hurts

I could go for some blades tbh. I’d like to strap some on and hit the paths

My back has been hurting since I was 18 :( but I have a disease is why

I am 33 1/2 and loving it!!!

you will be a darling blast of positivity when you're twice that tbf!

gosh I hope so, I am a big fan of aging and am excited to age but am also experiencing first hand the way your body starts to go backwards, I think 30s might be the peak of that sort of youthful energy + no fucks given + ability to do things relatively freely

yeh enjoying 35 - shame a lack of pubs and socialising this last year but could be worse

I can manage about 5 minutes of washing dishes these days

oh well if it isn't my lost twin

i am 36 and my face looks old now

oh well if it isn't my lost twin

i am 36 and my face looks old now

I've never met IRL or online someone born on the same day as me before, let me have this lol

hey! I guess we could tackle these dishes together

up close it does. slightly wrinkly and puffy. i don't care that much it's just a thing i'm observing! xp

*rinses a plate and tosses it merrily across the room to geoffrey*

This a thread for the ILXor dishwashing & sundry housework pain-easement collective

Geoffrey, as long as you don’t eat whatever he’s served on his dishes...

haha, noted

I've never met IRL or online someone born on the same day as me before, let me have this lol

me neither! the closest before this was Jon Ossof (1 day)

There were two people in my year at school who were born on the same say as me.

day

i have che guevara, boy george and donald trump, but yet to me them in real life

i am 36 and my face looks old now

I'm 36 too, and over this year of lockdown I've gone from looking a lot younger than my age to looking every year of my age, if not older. I guess it had to happen sometime.

I actually made a fucking amazing dish just now

Ive always been eh battered looking at best and between teeth and hair alone i made my peace with age before beauty in my late teens

My thirties were an instruction in not ignoring my body, presentation, maintenance and fitness regardless of all that

Prawn, fennel and garlic Sumatran curry (sachet box pictured), reduced with lime and bayleaf, served over jasmine rice

Fennel is the greatest foodstuff. In curry it fulfils the role of the onion AND the greenery

This one I like to call the Crab of Crab and Crayfish

The latter feeding into gyac's narrative a bit more but I will no longer suffer this misrepresentation

Maybe a little heavy on the fennel leaf but restaurant-quality ffs. All from the last few days

all look great

i'm tackling spanakopita tuesday - that probably won't end as successfully

That's a little trickier tbf

Pescetarianism is a total wanker move but it's great and I recommend it btw

Oh food pics is it

Just couldn't take it any more. The slander

It’s libel not slander fyi LJ

Neck wound in, that looks edible

i did fail media law the first time and barely passed the second tbf. also ty glad we could straighten out the record

I turned 40 while self-isolating last October so I have decided to have a do-over of 39 again

My thirties began during a period when I was working a shitty retail job, riding freight trains, and getting plowed in the backrooms of Folsom Street gay bars with my husband....and now we own a house, have two dogs, and live on the other side of the country.

I still spent last night drinking beer and taking bong rips with my friends over Zoom.

(I'm 36, btw)

A life lived, all the same!

my 30s are kicking the shit out of my 20s

i keep farting, more and more

my back is killing me so i lean on a chair for support, which simultaneously set the gears in motion to let one rip, and it's just like goddammit

very gassy these days, VERY gassy

Lol km

ah now i understand the ref to breakdancing in the title

I use a desk chair with no real support that I found on the street. it has been with me for many years. I am the only person I know who doesn't have back problems. unsure if related facts

i don't have back problems, but i also shit into a bag, so there's that lol.

(i do at least 50 pull-ups every day, which might explain my lack of back problems)

I’ll be 33 in a month and I have for sure developed arthritis in one of my knees, so that I fall down almost every time I stand up. Currently sitting in an empty laundrette sans laundry just so I can sit at a table on a hard-backed chair (my current set-up is like a fold-out beach chair on the floor). It’s not so bad here.

You undoubtedly know yr knees better than i obv but have you had it checked out at all

I ask as a fella that had written off one of his own as a pain/weak for life after an injury but after two years of avoiding a physio i finally lol bent the knee lol and after two visits and a few mins work each morning for several weeks it was disgustingly improved
