I go out with my 2 daughters, ages 22 and 23, and they picked up a friend of theirs, she's 28, married, we go shopping. We we're talking, and talking about movies, when Johnny Depp was brought up. So I said 'yeah and I heard he's like 41' They ALL WENT EWWWWWW NO WAY, he's not THAT old! So they go on, and said, well thats what money can do, he had to have facelifts, and all. HUH??? LOL!!
jeeeeez I feel really old (and of course I got the 'Grandma' stuff all day! )
BUT we went to the casino for lunch, all 3 girls were carded, and the security guard asked me for my ID!!! I looked at him, and said 'you are joking aren't you?' (he was young enough to be my kid!) and he said, 'no, need to see your ID' so I did!
That was interesting

I'm 45 and I look 45 and I always ask for the senior discount, 9 times out of 10 they give it to me. You'd be surprised at what you can get by just asking for it. At Mcd's I will sometimes ask for free fries or a hot apple pie and about 50% of the time they give it to me.

I have never thought of myself as old. At age 65, not many of the young people I have working for me during summer break can keep up with me. When we go on our 5 mile run at the end of the day they all fall out.
My wife does not have one gray hair on her head. She is still the natural blond I Married many years ago. Looks 21 and turns many heads of the male gender. Some have walked into signs, light post, doors, tables or what ever.
My problem when we go out for dinner with our children most think she one of the kids. Now that is when I feel 40.
naaa, I think it was because I was with 3 young ladies
Fred, your so lucky, and you should be proud having a great and young looking wife
I likd that , guys have walked into lightposts! LOL!
Hey when they start offering me discounts, ANY discounts I'm going for it..
But the whole point was this.... these girls, without knowing how old Johnny Depp is, when they found out he was a whooping 41 ! They ALL went 'EWWWWW' I mean come on!! LOL!!! And then started talking about how he HAD to have had a facelift etc
Thats the mindset of a 20 something!! They still are BRATS! LOL!!!

I knew I have this gray beard for a reason. Even though only a young 54, if it saves me $$$ I'll take the senior discount.

This is for older people. Younger people try it at their own risk. This is working well for me.
For those of us getting along in years, here is a little secret for building your arm and shoulder muscles. You might want to adopt this three days a week. Begin by standing straight, with a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand. Extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can--try to reach a full minute. Relax. After a few weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks, and then 50-lb. potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight out for more than a full minute. After you feel confident at that level, start putting a couple of potatoes in the bags.

You know you're old when your joints start sticking.
About a week ago the middle finger of my right hand developed a weird quirk: if it stays inone position too long, the large joint in the finger sticks. When I go to move it, there is a slight pain, then a clicking noise as it unsticks. This especially happens when I'm using the computer mouse--every few minutes I have tounstick the finger. Probably the onset of arthritis...

I'm sure that alot of people here have developed that same middle finger sticking quirk but probably only when they see certain users posting.

Well, spit!! Had to go to the doctor today & my head is swimming a bit due to the Vidodin prescribed. Out of the blue last night I started having problems with my right arm. I was getting ready for bed & when I put my arms up to put on the t-shirt I wear to bed until it gets too warm, I almost fell over the pain was so bad!
Still bad today. I can't raise my arm more than an inch or two without stabbing pain followed by throbbing all down my arm. Couldn't wash my hair this morning & howled when I tried to raise the arm to wash. Drying wasn't a load of laughs, either. Putting on deoderant was an experience I could do without, too. I went to the doctor, who sent me to be x-rayed--he wanted to make sure the rod in my arm from the accident two years ago isn't trying to work itself out. I go back tomorrow for the reading of the x-ray. They gave them to me to take in tomorrow--I looked them over and, to my untutored eye, they look just fine. I'm beginning towonder if I pinched a nerve or something. Hope they fix whatever it is fast, because the pain is excruciating if I forget and move the arm too much.
You know, I really don'tmind growing old--I just wish it wouldn't happen all at once! I'd prefer a more gradual pace, thank all the same!
