Thread: I Feel Old

It's funny that you brought this up Lori. Last week end I shaved the handlebars of my mustache off, leaving what you might call a "regular" stache (whatever that means). I came downstairs and my wife let out a bit of a laugh and immediately called me Magnum PI! Now I feel old......

Hehe. If I had a hov-a-round I would have to have it modified for maximum speed and maybe have flames painted on the side. I think that would be fun to ride on.

Lori

the WORST thing is that first trip to the urologist's office. one look around and you're saying to yourself...I am NOT one of those. i always liked the way Frank Sinatra put it.."My body might be fifty, but I'm twenty-eight."

You can always tell your kids " I'am not as good as i once was,but I'am good once as i ever was".

lori, my boy thought it would be fun to put 4 wheeler tires on one, now that would be a wild ride

I feel for you-I tell my two that in the seventies we actually WORKED,and bought our own cars,and that scares the sh*t out of them

And don't forget "grey is the new black" At least that's what I tell myself

I forgot how many cars i bought in the 50.00 -200.00 range and they all would take a sticker.And working at the local hardware/sporting goods shop for 1.60 per hour and mowing lawns to save up for another car!!

It's the mailings from the Neptune Society and Funeral Homes that unnerve me a bit.

Thank you for sharing your brilliant observation! I love it! If you don't mind I'd like to quote you to the youngin's in my life.
