would you consider yourself to be old?????


For me once I hit 78 I will be well on my way.
 
I already feel over the hill, and I'm in my 20's, mon.

I need to smoke more weed.
 
The age which I cease to understand the youth culture which I've based my career on.
 
When I bust up my hip falling off my Harley. Ok so I have to get the Harley first ;)

You don't have to be old to bust a hip. :)
 
Every birthday I feel old. That stopped being a good thing at 18.
 
when i dont feel young.... probably got a few years to go yet..... i only turned 20 last month
 
I am 24 and I am starting to notice that I now do things that when I was 16 I said "I hate it when people do that!"

Like I just dont understand the baggy jeans thing, or rap, or slang or anything. It makes no sense to me. I have not watched MTV since I was 19. I watch VH1 now. Songs I listened to when I was 12 are now on Retro stations.
 
:devil:

You know you are old when you turn the radio to the oldies station, and they aren't old.
 
i'll be old when i need glasses to find my glasses (the ones that i'm gonna need soon) :)
 
When I start to lose the physical ability to do the things I enjoy
 
I already feel old at a times. Of course it doesn't help much that I have more grey hair than my mother!
 
When I realized that this year I will be 30. Yep
I consider myself old.

I have decided to start counting backwards. ;)
 
When the kids start playing louder music than i do.....Untill then im not old !!!!!

The:devil: made me do it
 
The definition of OLD

When it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night.

It varies from day to day.

The first time I had a trainee that wasn't alive when I joined the service, I felt old. (age 39)

When I turned 40, I felt old for a while.

When I got a notice that my 30 year class reuinion was coming, I felt old.

When they razed a local school building that was opened the year I was born because it was "old and outdated," I felt old.

On the other hand, I look at people and think, He's only ten years older than I am -- he's not old yet.

Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that "OLD" is fifteen to twenty years older than I am.

(BTW, I'm planning on getting to be older than the average high temperature in Las Vegas on my birthday and refuse to think of myself as "old" until I do. The average High on my birthday is 107F)
 
Old is a frame of mind. *Grins.* I won't feel old until I lose that mind.

And no wisecracks!
 
there is no such thing as old in my mind. i'm proud of my age and what i've accomplished thus far. and i will continue to be overly excited every year on my birthday like i'm 5 years old and just have fun with it all.

I'll consider myself old when:

I no longer care to learn
I no longer want to grow
The scent of a woman causes no reaction in my mind and body
The allure of the ocean becomes just that: an Ocean
Spooning is simply a means to eat soup
