ggquilter: I haven't lied about my son's age but the other day I noticed he has some gray in his hair (he's 39). I told him to color it FAST because it made me feel really old. After all, I don't have any gray hair--that shows LOL thank you Clairol.

I get clients and I can remember what I was doing on the day they were born!

I hear ya!!!!!!!! 8-)

yes, we are all getting older and time sure flies by fast

Ladies and gents..........

aren't we only as old as we feel?

and some days, forget it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My youngest turned 32 last Thurs. My oldest is 34 and the middle one is 33. So they are 32 33 and 34 until Oct. The oldest 2 both have BDs then. I will be 55 in Sept. But I am still 40 something. I don't think about my age too much. I am what I am. Age is a relative thing really. It doesn't define you..My mom is 77 and mows her yard and mine when I don't have time to run the rider.She can't run the rider so she uses a push mower. She is amazing at yard work! She has more energy than I do!

Oh, I was looking at my son't hair when I last visit with him. He has gray too starting at his temples. My baby is getting old, he even smile wrinkles starting at his eyes. I guess I think of him as being the little boy. My neighbor who is 102 talks about her son, "my boy Gary" and he is 69.

I turned 55 in January! and i have been a Nana for 10 years and 11 and a half grandkids later! I love it!

Sherri :)

ha ha

yep, age never bothered me, until my oldest sons birthday that is coming up quit fast. he will be 29. ya I am getting older. God Bless. Penny

My Oma always said: "you have to hang yourself young, if you don't want to get old"

:lol: :lol: Thats a good one....

Since it's to late for me to die young. I'll just be old.

Thank you all for making me laugh with your comments! Most of the doctors I go to look 12 and I just keep telling myself they are "cutting edge" in their skills just to not laugh! I remember party telephone lines, telephone numbers such as Hamilton 5- 1234, I was thrilled when I got a raise at work from .75/hr to $1.00 and thought I was rich, remeber 5cent White Castle hamburgers, going to the "linen store" with my mother to buy curtains, gas at 17cents/gallon and when speed limits were 25 mph on the highway. I am 62 this summer and thank God for every day of my life.

I remember when McDonald's put their sign up "Over a million served". The gas wars, I bought gas for 15 cents a gallon. I worked at a resort for $1 an hour and thinking, wow, I'm rich. I'm 66 but I think my knees are about 85.

Now that I have hit the big 'double-nickle' as a friend said, I seem to be regressing. I have more fun, mess with people and make them think twice, dare my 33 and 34 year old to do more with their lives, and just seem to have more fun.

As far as the cops being out of diapers... I thought only my DH (retired Denver cop after 29 years) and I were the only ones who said that. Careful about the 'gun' thing. There is a saying out there( I will refrain for fear of embarassment to some, not me) pistol and gun. :lol: :lol: Oh my, I am sooo tempted. :oops:

Now that my med Dr. and Dentist have both had major medical problems over the last two years, I may have to go for much younger so they live as long as I want to.

Darn my kids are really aging the poor things! The youngest is 31, then 35, 37 & 40. I sure feel for them. Glad I'm not getting older. No way! I'm stayin 29 forever! LOL I have too much fun ahead of me to have yet & have no intention of slowing down. Let the kids slow down but not Me! LOL I love this topic and have really enjoyed reading the posts. Thanks for starting it.

Someone mentioned police looking so young, too. The hardest thing for me to accept is my son's best friend from age 5 on up is now a PA State Trooper!! OMG-I remember when he----well, I better not go there LOL!

Baby cops! A few years ago, I made a wrong turn down a one-way street. Quickly realized my mistake and turned into a driveway and waited for the traffic to go by. Wouldn't you know it, I was spotted by a patrol car. He turned into to the driveway behind me, he got out, came over to my car and with a big smile on his face said, "Ah, you don't live here do you madam?" I said that I didn't but realized my mistake that is why I turned in here. I'm trying to get to the other one-way. I noticed he was really young, cute and wore a SWAT above his name tag. He smiled and said he would help me get to the other street. I thought he was going to show me, instead, he pulls his car out into the street, blocking all lanes so the other drivers can see this stupid gray haired old woman and turned around and headed in the right direction. I think I would have preferred to get the ticket and just call the embarrament part off. I never screwed up again about one-way streets. I probably reminded the young cop of his grandmother.

Well, we either get old or die young....SO I am aiming for the first choice lol 67

everyone around my house wants to point out how old I am...and it isnt even that old!! I still plan to be around for at least another 30-40 years...
I went back to school for my RN at 41 years old - 15 years ago...students that I now teach think it is neat that I would take on the challenge of nursing school and could do so well as an 'old person'.
then we got a foster child that is now 3...and although I sleep really well I at night I can still keep up most of the time- My grown kids always tell me how exhausted they are after 15 minutes of watching her.... We will be in our mid-70's when she graduates from high school...

I remember when one of my kids came home from school when he was in middle school and said "you have got to hear this really neat new rock group...the "Grateful Dead" - told him I had the original albums and became instantly cool...but then he asked what an album was...

... I had an instructor who was taking college courses at 64...she said she was going to be 64 no matter what -might as well enjoy herself..I agree with that philosophy!


old is what you think it is...

katmom...you GO girl!!
