Posted: 6/28/2009 9:24:55 PM | Holy smokes, most of you folks are thinking YOU'RE old at 50-55!
Damn, I passed that one ten yrs ago and still don't feel the age.
It's the miles and mishaps that get me now.
Good luck and enjoy it while you can. I still enjoy an all nighter now and then. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 7:10:40 PM | | I returned to college in my 40s. I was taking a class "20th century America" (I figured an easy "A", cause hell I lived through half of it). Anyway, my age came up, and 1 student asked how old I was. I told him. Then he felt obligated to mentioned I was the same age as his parents. I said: " I know I use to date your mom son". The class roared it wasn't brought up again. | |

An older manwas being spoken down to by a young man. Said the young man: You lived in an almost primitive time. There was no cable, no internet, man hadn't walked on the moon or sent probes to the outer planets, no microwave, no cell phones, no super-sonic aircraft. It was like being in the dark ages.
Replied the older man: You're right. We didn't have those things...so we invented them! What are YOU doing for the next generation? | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 1:17:29 PM | | My twenty year old son was telling me a story about an old guy last night. Upon questioning, it turned out the fellow was the same age as me. I simply said " f%#k you" and left it at that. | |

Posted: 7/22/2009 9:32:39 PM | Old Woman is a rather complimentary title. (Trying it on) Hmmm.
Getting old demonstrates that I triumphed over all the phases that 20-year-old hasn't even dreamt of yet. Many friends from my wild times in the 60s are dead. Some died in jail or the nut house. Those that are still around have either become burned-out husks or have weathered the storms with grace.
Age is not only wrinkles:
* it's a set of scars and medals that a beloved can appreciate
* it's a heart opened to all possibilities
* it's a mind that realizes I don't have to debate the issue with anyone, young or old.
If they don't "grok" it, they are haven't the background to participate in the discussion. Pipsqueaks! 
Maybe I am one of the burned-out husks and don't know it?

Posted: 7/22/2009 10:17:03 PM | I respond with "Damn Right and I have the wisdom and experience that comes with it".
I am proud to be my age. Some people do not make it this far!
What gets me going is being called a young man. I quickly set them straight by reminding them that I have been on this planet over five decades, I have earned every gray hair and smile wrinkle. I am aging to perfection. Except my lower back and my left knee and I have started wearing reading glasses but other than that I'm just getting better every day. | |

Posted: 7/23/2009 6:18:05 AM | They will be "old" one day too... karma and what not.
I would probably say something like "What? I'm old? NO WAY! *looks in mirror* OMFG!! YOU'RE RIGHT!! I AM OLD!! Noooooooooooooooo! GOD! Why me!!!???!!!!"  "if you hadn't told me I would never have known" 
I'm a bit of a smartass I suppose. | |
