Anybody else feeling old?

[Loonette]

Rock on, "hot_shoe_cv"! I hope to goodness that I'm still on a bike when I'm 82. That would be the best.

Still feels like yesterday when I met my wife for the first time (I was 22 when we met)

I've been married for half my life now - have been living together two years longer than that. When we met I was 17; he was 19. Pretty weird...

Cheers,
Loonette

grey hair?....what hair?
at 43....
I remember nixon's farwell wave and men on the moon and NO PC's
70's heavy metal that's on the oldies station today and hard rock that easylistening now...80's ugly fashion, 90's geed and Y2K panic...
i've been...
a sailor, merchant seaman, academic and trucker and made into road kill (almost)...and still I survive

I wonder about those marriages that last 50 years, but i've never known anyone more that 5 and can't even get a dinner date for saturday night ....the idea of Kids intrigue and fascinate but freak me out at the same time..

I am the sum of my experiences.....

I am the quiet loner...

Well, I may be getting older, but, I'm blessed with the illusion of youth. I'm one of the coaches of my son's all-star baseball travel team. The kids are high schoolers 14-17 yrs old...and I've had people come up to me saying "Hey, your little brother is really good..." I just smile and say "I know" hahahaha

im 20 and in my 20 year old head i consider every day that goes by without getting a new piece of "O Ring" a day wasted. does this mentality ever go away?

[oldnslo]

Yes.

Name something that's happened in the past year that has made you feel like the years are catching up to you. (please make attempts to not be too disgusting - thanks) If you want, state your age as reference.

For me it would be the grays. There aren't a lot, and I actually don't mind them. This is the first time in many, many years that I haven't colored my hair, and after growing out a buzz cut, I can now see all my little grays. Oh ya, and my knees are starting to creak when I climb stairs. Oh, and then there's the perimenopause. I'm 38.

Cheers,

I hate to tell you this ... but you ain't seen nothin yet. not at 38 heh heh

when I was a bartender, carding ladies (even if it was obvious they where old enough) made them feel good, it was being flirty...

but as a guy, the first time I WASN'T CARDED, made me feel soooo old AND to top it off the punk said 'SIR' when he took my order.....

Eh, sonny? what was that? you'll have to speak up, dang ol' rum-ma-tism got my gout all cat-r-wumpus....YOU KIDS STAY OFF'N MY YARD!!!and turn down that holler'n music!!!

is this my senior moment?

Nice ride, stay safe!



As to being old, when you get in an elevator and notice that one of the muzak songs was your favorite in HS, that's getting old. Of course, the people in the elevator must have thought I was nuts when I started singing along.

I teach high school-- old is having lived more than three of their lifetimes-- or teaching the kids of earlier students. -aching after a ride
