Time sure does go quickly.

I know what you mean about the young doctors.
The last several we hired in our oncology office were my childrens age
I was able to help train our doctors with some of the ways we did things with our patients.
This was good because I did not have to learn to do things his way or her way.

I enjoyed reading what everyone answered to this one. I don't mind getting old....just don't want to feel it! I'm 58 and still on the move...so I'm thankful!

I had to laugh at this one! I used to say I stopped at 25, then when even the elem. kids I taught didn't believe me, I bumped it up to 29. Now the middle school kids I teach don't believe me. Oh well. I'm not budging...

Aww heck...its just a number and I don't really care what the number is. I just don't want the aches and pains that come with the aging. Other than that....as they say around here..."its better than being horizontal!" :lol: :lol:

I tell everyone that I'm 21, with 32 years of experience! ;)

When it comes to ages...my family is REALLY mixed up! I am 11 years older than William, who is 6 years older than my oldest son. My oldest son is married to a woman 10 years older than he is...making my daughter in law 6 years younger than I am, and 5 years older than William, her "father in law".
William is younger than all but three of my mother's grandchildren....my two boys and my brother's girl. (I'm the baby of 5)

We are not old, we are Vintage! :)

hubby just turned 21- so he can be older than youngest son who is 20.

I always say age is a number assigned to you so you know when to retire. :)

I want to retire with hubby, in 6 years but it looks like it won't happen since I now work for myself.

All of you are babies. I am 73 yrs old and still working as a church secretary 15 hours a week at a church within sight of my house. I remember party-line telephones, have worked as a telephone operator in a store when the switchboard had plug-in lines and worked as an elevator operator when it was necessary to turn a handle to stop it at the floors. I worked most of my life as a medical transcriptionist and was the first transcriptionist to type notes at the first hospital where I worked. Before that the notes were hand-written by the transcriber. That hospital now has a large staff in medical records to do that. One of the machines used for dictation had a wax cylinder that was erased by scraping off the top layer of wax. I have a sweatshirt that I bought at a yard sale years ago that reads "Age is a number and mine is unlisted." My biggest surprise was passing a mirror one day and then going back to look again because I thought I saw my mother in it. She will be 94 this year and still drives a car and lives in alone is her own house. Guess it's in the genes. Love reading the board.
