The big Five-Oh

[NoJo]

I still have a coulple of years to go till I'm 50, but my close friend is reaching it next week. He recently told me how panicky he's feeling. He looks about 40.

I remember, when I was in myearly twenties, how old my 30-year-old friends all seemed.

So, when, does "old" happen?

 

[AppleBiter]

I think it's different for everybody. For me, I always thought of old as being 30. Now that I'm 26, I'm starting to change my tune.

I think you are only as old as you feel.

 

[NoJo]

I think you are only as old as you feel.

Depends which part of you you're feeling.

 

[Dar~]

my back is sixty but my tits are 17 wanna feel?

 

[impressive]

I'll let ya know if I ever get there.

17 tits? Wow, you're a lot of woman.

Ummmm....is this a trick question? Is the Pope German?

Parts of me feel older than others....the brain (though a little bruised) is still 16. The outside of the body is 26, and the knees, shoulders, ankles, elbows, wrists, and hands are all approaching 50. The back is still good and strong, and I'm still flexible (sometimes too flexible....ouch....) but there's a lot of things that I can't do that I used to be able to....

The older I get, the higher that number gets. When I was younger, I remember thinking 40 was old. But now that I'm 37 and I work in long-term care, 70 is kinda old, 80 may be pushing it.

It's all relative, I think ... I think of age in terms of differences: My husband is ten years older than me, and ten years younger than my mom. My boyfriend is 13 years older than me, nine years younger than my dad. (Kind of creepy thinking about it like that, but it's fun to tease the guys with. ) My best friend is the same age as my little sister, who's married to a guy my age.

...I don't know what my point is.

"Old" is always ten years older than you already are.

 

[NoJo]

I just remembered my father's favorite quote (no idea who originated it), that "Old is always five years older than you." It sorta works likes that for me.

 

[NoJo]

"Old" is always ten years older than you already are.

Hah! you beat me to it (and doubled the number too)

 

[Sunnie]

I don't think of Hubby as 'old', though. I mean, he's 34 -- that's pretty young.

Nor do I, but I suddenly feel like I'm back in school in the maths class.

Twice as nice. Or not. Naughty? Knickers. Pfffft, who knows.

To a dog, that's bloody ancient.

Well, from the last post, I'd say you were about 3 months away from senility.

Damnit. I thought I was already there.

All the best people are, you know.

Well...good thing we have 3 cats then.

lol... "Tom is twice as old as Mary who is half Bob's age..."

I always hated those.

 

[McKenna]

Make it stop! Make it stop!

Math makes me queasy.

Hey now, I'm going to work, and that's strictly a non-thinking zone....don't make me start now or the night will drag like you won't believe!

 

[Sunnie]

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry! Do not murder me!

 

[NoJo]

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry! Do not murder me!

I think that could be classified as an overreaction. At least I fucking hope so.
