I am 59 and my husband 60. I was surprised that our 4 kids all think of us as “old”. Was shocked when one of them told us that. And they are between 26-33. And here I was thinking they thought us more as “just a little older” than them.
Beginning the process of signing up for Medicare…so I’m old. I’ve always liked the lines from an old Little Feet song…..“You know that you’re over the Hill when your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill!”
I’m always joking with my daughters, “Don’t pick on me; I’m old.” What doesn’t help is that I’m actually the age of some of their friends’ GRANDmothers!
Today is my 65th birthday! (Happy Birthday to me)I have been a runner since 1980 and still run (a lot less though) and exercise daily.I shave my head to hide the white horseshoe I would have. Thanks to that I don’t look anywhere close to my 65 years..And actually more people in their 30’s have that bulge than those my age.
Hard for me to contemplate that Grandpa is in his 60s, I always thought of him in his 80s. I’m his age, thank God mom told us the closer you get to 80 the younger it looks.
Being close to or living with your grandchildren helps to keep you young and to make you realize you are older all at once.I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Good for you old man. You don’t stop having fun when you get older….you get older when you stop having fun.
56 years young here and living like my 20s…

Old is vulnerable.Plan ahead, to be less so.Surround yourself with help.

Age is simply mind over matter. I don’t mind and it don’t matter !
I feel no different now – in my early 70’s – than I did twenty years ago. In fact, I’m probably in much better shape – mentally and physically.
I fully intend to live to be 120 yrs. old. Just to confound my friends and pi$$ off my enemies !

Dear old men…..Please do not think that a young chick on your arm makes you look younger. It doesn’t. In fact….it makes you look older by comparison.

Dear old men….Please remember that a daily shower and shave is a good thing.

Dear old men….Please groom yourself up when stepping out. No mismatched clothes and white socks with sandals.

MIL was in an old folks home and talked about the older people there, as if she weren’t one of them herself.
