Thread: I Feel Old

Oh and less we forget, the spam emails about the hip replacement recall I'm really not sure whether I'm supposed to vigorously resist getting too old to be cool or simply save myself the trouble and embrace the onset of codgerdom and press on. To be honest though, with the exception of a few pounds, the loss of most of my hair, tiring much quicker than I used to and the various and random aches and pains, I really don't feel much different than I did 30 years ago.

Our bodies age at a much different rate than our minds. My husband didn't get stressed out until he noticed his hair was migrating from his head to his back.

I'm just waiting till I get a colostomy so that when the neighbor kids run across my lawn I can pop it off and throw it at them.

Cant you see yourself being like Clint Eastwood in Grand Torino in your old age, "Now get off my lawn"

So far, I'm the oldest I've ever been.

A few years back when I noticed my back hair far outnumbering head hair, I was trying to grow the back hair our long enough to do a "comb forward" thus creating the illusion of a full head of hair. Needless to say, that was not so successful. Then I decided it really didn't matter and in fact, if I embraced my baldness and began shaving my spud, I would in effect double the shaveable real estate.

I'm already like that! But I must admit I don't own a cool M-1 Garand to intimidate would be lawn vandals with. GREAT MOVIE!

I guess getting older really isn't that bad especially considering the alternative.

Reading the last four pages has made this middle aged bloke feel not so bad. Keep up the good work all you old people, and I will continue to get a laugh and feel younger for it.

As I have started poking around in antique shops for strait razors, it is kind of scary. Antique shops used to filled with old stuff. Now they bring back memories. "Hey, I used to have one of those."

A couple of years ago, it was October and getting cold, I saw a group of girls in their late teens or early twenties heading out for a night out. They were wearing next to nothing and I realized that I was getting older as my 1st reaction was not wow look at those fine looking fillies, it was gracious me those girls are going to freeze!
