    Default How old are you?

    It's sure hot out there. I was sitting on the veranda having a cool one with Mr. L. and his buddy Mr Death and I noticed Mr D writing in this book. I asked him what it was and he said it was his future prospects. He said "you know there's a bunch of you straight shavers in my book here". I said, how's that? He said it's because so many of you are just plain old.

    So, that made me curious to do a survey and we may have done this before and I promise neither Mr L or Mr D will see this although Mr L said if any members are getting nervous about their advancing age they should contact him and he can work something out. He's always running specials. Just think about him and he'll be there.

    Old enough to know better and young enough to do it again.

    I'm 65. They used to think that was old, now they say "60 is the new 40." I don't know about that but from my perspective $100.00 is the new $10.00 ........

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    34 on August 16. 30 was rough for me, felt like I was turning into an old man. But I feel like 40 is going to really hit me hard. The young guys at work keeping me feeling young with all their dares and childish antics. I love it.

    I hear if you haven't grown up by the time your 30, you don't have to. So..... I won't.

    Andrew, I've become old enough that I am starting to regress. I think my mental level has degraded to about 14. If I ever, ever actually thought of myself as being the chronological age that I am I would have to be pushed around in a wheelchair.

    The same.

    I always took turning 65 to be the definition of a Senior Citizen. Never thought I would live this long.

    I'm 58 going on 29. To me old, is something you become. I choose not to. Yeah, yeah, our bodies get older and we just can't. Well I ain't buying it. I have always worked hard and played hard and when I can no longer do that then I still won't give up. My epitaph will read " He died in denial of his age and lived like there was no tomorrow." :<0)
    I went to check on a co worker today that did not show up for work. They told me he came in yesterday and couldn't remember his log on code. His hands were shaking and he seemed lethargic so they sent him home. See why I was worried ? When I got there his car was there but he would not answer the door. I wasn't just going to leave.....Flash to the end....The cops came back out of his apartment saying it looked like he died in peace about 8 to 10 hours before I got there. George was 63. He burned the candle at both ends most of his life. I think he new who's list he was on 2 days ago. I also think he faced it like a man. Good bye George.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
