No, I just lie about it.:sneaky:

:wah:

Why?.... because you can?... or it makes you feel better?

The only beef I have about getting older is that I still feel the same inside as I did when I was in my twenties, but the flamin outer casing is getting like a tatty old suitcase ! :rolleyes: However, having said that, I find that as you get older, you can 'get away' with more things, simply because there are a lot of people who just can't believe what you just did, or said, at your age !!!! :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

No, only when I am not as physically fast/fit as the young ones. Puts me at a disadvantage in TKD, I use strategy instead in a match.

I'll let you know when it works, if I can remember it........................:wah:

I can and look at least 10 yrs younger than I actually am. Why do you care? I still get carded for smokes sometimes. Yeah, it does feel good.:sneaky::wah:

Way to go, QS!

We all get older, such is life. But what do we really see in the mirror each morning? Well, without my glasses on, I have no complaints........:wah:

LOL... I don't care, just creating conversation

You see I'm often mistaken for being younger than my years and I love correcting peeps and revealing my real age... gives me a much bigger buzz LOL

Age is just a number in my book. It's how you feel about yourself. You know, young at heart kind of deal.

That is cool, scouse. Age is no big deal, we are as young as we feel inside.

Reverse the last two digits on the year unless you were born in the later years of the 40's or 50's.:wah:

Wel, that counts me out.....................:wah:

hell no... we all young @ heart...

Ye but I got more experience:rolleyes::p;)

I always go ahead and be a year older -the day after my birthday... drives everyone around me nuts...

Nope Age dont bother me. Most peeps age me 5 or 6 years younger than my 41 years, might be cos im a short a$$ at 5ft 2, have dimples and sound like minnie mouse on helium.:wah:

I have no grey hairs yet, all my own sparkly teeth and my skin is relatively good. Maybe once I start greying and wrinkling I will feel differently.

I think it helps immensely that my hubby tells me he loves me at least 3 times a day and shows me as much interest today as when we first met.:-4

to a point. i don't want to turn 30- i am four years away right now..

"Old Age" is always add "20" years older then what you really are!!! :wah: :rolleyes:

I was born in 1955. So I reverse the last two digits of the year - YAY!! I was born on 1955.

Nope, 'cause it means I'm still alive and kickin'.

Nope, cuz if I'm not getting older, it means I'm dead!!! :p

floppy, you must be getting older if everyone is calling you floppy.! :sneaky::wah::wah:

Funny you should ask that...........I'm 62 on Sunday and officially retired from work today....feels a lot stranger than I thought it would........anyway I'm off to buy a new camera tomorrow and start on my new hobby.



Back to the question....my answer is yes and no....ha, ha....you can tell I'm getting older. ...indecision creeping in.

May you be happy in your retirement, Bez. Happy Birthday to you! :-4

I used to never think about my age, but now that i've passed 40 i think about it a little more! but the only option besides getter older is dying young, so i think i would like to get older! :wah::wah:

Congratulations on your retirement Bez, well done, you made it!

I remember when you were 60 & contemplating it, now it's here! It does feel strange at first. However, after a little while, you'll wonder how did I ever get along working?! I took early retirement 3-1/2 years ago, (and I can honestly say now, that I would not want to have to work at a job ever again) and one of the things I wanted to do was join a gym. Well, I finally got round to it just last month!!! So many planned & unplanned things & projects popped up that took presidence. I could never get to do these projects while I was still working.

So anyway, enjoy that new camera, & hobby!

Not as much as not getting older!

Considering the alternative NOPE..!! not one bit.

Major advantage to getting older...we're allowed to say what we want and people just roll their eyes.

Major disadvantage- trying to read small print and getting up from the floor...that gets harder each year!

Besides - I'll finally be able to join AARP!
And then you'll also be able to legally go to the "Early Bird Specials"! :p :rolleyes: :wah:

no not a bother at all

I have won many a wager playing the "I bet I am older than you game"

I am blessed with young genes and great immaturity and by the time I hit 60 I am sure I will forget all this. yay for the aging mind :wah:

you know it use to. but being nearly 51 i have changed. I have always had issues with my weight and getting older. Well i never wore shorts, never ever. Now what the heck. I will never be skinny. I sure won't get younger. So what the HECK. Why be hot and old. If i gotta be old. i want it to be more comfortable:wah:

I can't remember whether getting older bothers me or not. But, urmm... What was I talking about?

jimbo;1003765 wrote: looks dont bother me at all but the thought of being old and unable to walk scares the crap outa me :(


Pee stains and smells, disinfectant smells, colostomy bag and bed sores. The over-concerned looks in the faces of visitors. Short term memory loss but an amazing long term memory. Talking with invisible people. Hospitals and/or homes. The future is full of prospect.

Jab, wow. Thought you were younger than 50. As for AARP, they send stuff to me all the time but I'm too young to join.:wah:

Age has never concerned me, your as young as you feel and its all got to do with a great attitude in life.:driving:

I eat the right foods, (okay I cheat.......everyone does), exercise daily and maintain a great sex life!:wah:

what also helps, if you look good, you feel good!



growing older is great, tons of benefits also!:D
