Well, I feel bad for younger people these days with AIDS and all that stuff. Being an old, old hippy, I'm glad I got to live the days of youth wild and free. Now, all of life is constrained in so many ways. Yeh, I'm old, and I know what it's like to be happy.

On the other hand, you're probably better off dating someone who is not 20 years younger than you.

My nephew likes to make that comment all the time, then i point out how bad i've beaten him in basketball and in a race and he usually sulks away

At my age other than not making the long hauls, still can keep up with em even younger than 20!

That may be in part that i refuse to ever grow up!

My answer? "Damn! And here I thought there was something wrong with the mirror!"

When the poster, calling you "Old man", attempts to divert the validity of your argument by bringing in personal attributes, it means she cannot refute on on merit. She might as well as said you were wrong because you were fat, skinny, short, tall, etc.

Remember, if you meet her in the forums again, to address her as "Young girl". It appears she is not mature enough to be called a woman, and she's certainly not a lady.

You might remind a foolish youth of this: "One who fails to value age and experience is diminished by each passing day."

they say that because they don't have a better argument. there is no required response to ignorance or stupidity.

It's happened a few times in the fish bowl here and in reality land. I'm old
enough and wise enough to just give them time to realize it's gonna happen to
them sooner or later. Now if I can just stay wise enough to reach oldest age.
That's the Kicker! LOL! Damn Young Whipper Snappers!

...Yeah it kinda felt odd the first time someone called me Ma'am instead of Miss...I thought, "my gosh, I'm getting old".... And at the time, I remember feeling a strange sense of sadness, like something lost.

I just saw a “UBS” commercial about an old golfer telling the younger kid that when he was younger he hit the ball over a big tree to hit the green. So the kid tries it and smashes the ball and it hits the top of the tree and falls down short. The old guy laughs then tells the kid when he was younger the tree was only a few feet tall.

""I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponents youth and inexperience.? "'

The above was stated by Ronald Reagan in one of his debates with Walter Mondale when Mondale brought up the question of age.
Now with a little creativity you could change campaign for "discussion" and change political purposes to "personal reasons" and she would not be back..................

...Now I know why I like you, mind if I add you to my favourites?

Back to topic...Remember thinking 50 was really, really old? Funny how our perspectives change as to whats old and whats not now that we have reached that milestone

I figure at least now us old people know how to handle most stuff thrown our way and these young people still have to go thru all the crap we went thru years ago. Makes for a great night!!

When I was young, an elderly gent was sitting by me on a bench at the local Sears.
and I noticed hair growing out of his ears and nostrils. And being a kid I asked
him about it, He said "I've run out of room on my head to grow hair, so it's growing
inside my head and coming out of the holes on my skull." That so grossed me out
I never wanted to grow old.
Now ,I'm trimming hair coming out of orifices that I can't get to grow on my
head. I knew he lied to me! LOL!

PS " April Showers" I'm honoured and delighted to be a Favourite.

I think you said it best by pointing out how childish and rude it was. So respond with "I may be an "old man" but I'm not childish and rude". OFten the less said about certain comments the better.

....Ok good, cause I consider yout to be right up there, along side strawberry ice-cream and peanut butter....

...One thing I've noticed more and more often, I never worry about bringing along my reading glasses when I'm with people my own age, someone will always have a pair...its when I'm with my daughter's that I run into trouble haha
