I just turned 50 and tonight coming out of a autoparts store a very attractive 20 something not only didn't give me a second look, she stopped at the door to back up and to open it for me. I asked her if I looked that old and she said "no sir" which hurt even more. Ive had that exact thing happen a FEW times... I always smile and tell them thank you and say.." its so hard to find a gentleman these days..."

Good topic. I figured I was a young man in an old body.
I remember waking up camping every morn under the tent now I wake up to go potty every 3 hours and wake up tired.
Good laughs on this post.

When it takes you more that two weeks to get over moving wrong and throwing your already bad back out!!!! Hell, I was just tryin' to put my blue jeans on, Monday before last and WHAM! Went downlike a load of bricks! Happens about 2 or 3 times a year. Bottom of the ol' spine all eaten away and when one of those bone spurs plucks a nerve!!! There's all Hell to pay!
I'll be 55 week after next and I already have 3 canes!!!!!!!!

When you finally realize that "THE GOLDEN YEARS" are when you take all the "Gold" you saved over the years, and take it to the Dr. office or your "Physical therapist" to pay the bills.
Been There, Done that, and literally have the T-Shirt from 2 different Physical Therapists.

How do you know that you're old?
Your address book is full of dead folks �
� many of 'em younger than you.
(In Molly's immortal words, "'Tain't funny, McGee!")
"Good enough" isn't.
Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.

Loosing good friends is one of the worst parts of being old. Three of my closest friends have passed in the last few years & they are sorely missed. Just recently another friend passed who was a giant in the fight for gun & hunter rights. Former president of NRA & VP of SCI & senator from Alaskan. Disabled WWII veteran. At least he had 90 years serving his country, sportsmen, & his God.
Life Members SCI & NRA. NRA Instructor & RSO. What have YOU done to support hunting & gun rights?

I was stopping off at the hospital today and had to go to the forth floor. Got in the elevator with a very attractive red headed nurse, she was getting off on the 3rd floor, I was headed to the 4th.
An older fella looking confused about where he was going apologized for holding up the elevator got on with us and told me he was headed to the fourth floor.
When the red head got off at 3, he followed her and I had to call him back. A midst the begining of his apology, I told him I wasn't gonna knock ya for chasin' a redhead... If ya hadn't cut me off I might of followed her too.
I think I made his day.

The thing is, it sneaks up on you slowly. None of us really plans to get old, except in the physical sense.
Just one thing is when you try to buy something that you think has been around forever, and the stores don't carry it any more, and the younger sales people have never even heard of it.
In another thread, music was the topic. I haven't understood or related to any contemporary music in years.

These are funny; God has a sense of humor that takes care of all our athleticism, hubris , good looks, and whatever we think we know--turns us back into kids, wrinkled and inept and maybe even wearing a diaper

80 year old hunter told me once that hte only difference between youth and age, is that the hills get taller.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

the worst thing about reaching it to middle age, is watching people you know and love, start dying off.
