The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 07, 2022

The ol’ bod feels like it has more miles on it than actual miles. Such is life!

I stopped counting when I ran out of fingers and toes.

I’m too young to be this old

Better than the alternative, right?

Perhaps you want to make it unlisted.

is it as big as Graham’s number

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%27s_number

you should only get concerned about your age if you start seeing in expiration date somewhere on your body. ;)

24,972 days and counting.

Age is not just a number. It’s a very real thing and you have to deal with it. Some people have better luck than others.

I’m good until I’m 86. That’s when my driver’s license expires.

Not only is just a number, but you think you can, but you can’t……the engine is slowin down….toot toot

A local radio station’s birthday tune: once a year we celebrate with stupid hats and plastic plates the fact that you were able to make another trip around the sun, happy birthday, now you’re one year older!

Do not think about the years you have been alive think of it as how many seconds.. If you are 21 years old today and able to drink and buy smoking materials …you are 662,709,600 seconds old! Think about your grandparents! If they are 84 multiply that number by 4!

“Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.” Washington Irving

“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” Mark Twain

Bible says gray hair is a glorious crown of glory. Prov 16:31. Enjoy the days the Gracious LORD gives you. Rejoice. Uncle Ted’s a fine mentor to Brutus. Pass good on.

Age has a way of changing one’s perspective on things you believe in. Rudolph Bultmann, a renowned Biblical scholar, was most noted for his more liberal interpretation of scripture. But, as he aged, his perspective changed and he mellowed his take on those same scriptures. I, on the other hand, have become radicalized on the interpretation of scripture as I aged. If I make it to my mother’s age, there’s no telling just what I’ll believe. But, it should be an interesting ride.

Age is a survival number. You only hit it after you survived the year.

If you don’t like that, you can say you’re “only one day older than yesterday”.

Yeah, but there are a lot of yesterdays back there.

Is it bigger than a bread box?

I didn’t think I would make it this long, and when I hear the news about some 35 year old athlete dying I figure I’m on borrowed time. Still enjoying it while I can.

Uncle Ted is a treasure to Brutus. And me!

Definitely not going my dad’s route. He retired at 78 and passed away 3 months later. I plan on retiring a lot younger, and enjoying the time I have left. I told my wife I know the exact day I want to die; either the day after she dies, or the day before my term life insurance expires.

I like milestones, like when I turned 33-1/3 or 45. And 10,000 or 20,000 days. My parents made it to their 30,000’s.

Can Ted be my uncle, too?

i suspect that i’ve already passed my best by date…

I wonder if he can count that high. I don’t want to waste a day or two trying to count the total of my own years in days, myself…..

I would hazard a guess that most of those of us who read this strip have more days behind us than we have days ahead of us. I’m in that boat.

Just write it smaller.

My guitar case is 50 years old and has seen better days, so today I bought a new hard shell case which should last for the next 50 years.

On each birthday, it helps to remind myself that I’m only one day older than I was yesterday.

happy birthday Ted and Thorny
