I keep getting these things in my email. What's with that? Do people think I'm old?
1. Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
2. Don't let anyone tell you you're getting old. Squash their toes with your rocker.
3. The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
4. Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
5. Maturity means being emotionally and mentally healthy. It is that time when you know when to say yes and when to say no, and when to say WHOOPPEE!
6. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
7. When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, just think of Algebra.
8. You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
9. I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
10. The golden years are really just metallic years: gold in the tooth, silver in your hair, and lead in the rear.
11. Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.
12. One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
13. Age seldom arrives smoothly or quickly. It is more often a succession of jerks.
14. Yeah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
15. Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and blind that they don't recognize you.
16. If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
17. First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull your zipper up, then you forget to pull your zipper down.
18. One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

"You are as old as you want to be and as young as you think you are."
I have this western floppy straw hat and on it are these badges... who says Revs don't have Fun...
"Of course I am Sexy. I'm over fifty."
"It takes 50 years to get this Sexy."
"Aged for smoothness and good taste."
"Tease me about my age and I'll hit you with my cane."
And, last but not least...
"Leave me alone, I'm having a midlife crisis."
Now, everyone knows by my picture that I have taken care of my body since childhood... as Ronnie shared. It is great to have a doctor tell you that you are more physically fit and healthier than any 40 year old he knows when you are 56.
Clean bill of health. I am proud to be my age and be able to do the things I could do at 30. I still play racquetball, roller-skate, soccer, rock climbing, and currently have a landscape business moving boulders, dirt and rocks for beautiful mountain home retreats with the natural elements of the soil.
The other thing that is nice about age. When I was in my 20s, my range of attractive women was 18 to 30. Now, the range of attractive women is 18 to 60. However, I usually date women in their late 30s to mid-40s. Very few women in my age bracket have taken care of their bodies through the years. A shame...
To me, age is a blossoming.
Well, my 58 cents... one for each year.
Namaste'...
