I'm getting old... WTF

To which talbott replied,

"Nothing, we ain't plumb got no shoes"

 

I hear talbott's ride is sponsored by "Member's only" and runs on bengay and aspercreme

 

Good one, Mr. JB WELD.

 

You're not moving in on my sponsors are you

 

Not in this lifetime.

 

So your IQ is 21?

 

And then some.

 

So many old, wise people conjuring in this thread....

I feel like I walked into a bingo hall

 

If you are fortunate, in time, one of those adjectives may be used to describe you.

 

Old, maybe, but wise? You really think the kids being born now will be that dumb?

 

I've seen adequate evidence to support that position.

 

Well I'm 33, and while I don't feel old, and am in pretty good shape. I have noticed the same things you have. Though, I think I've become the crotchety old man when it comes to my yard and plants because parents don't teach their kids these days to respect others property like back in the day when we were kids. The hair thing...well luckily I haven't had a problem there other then the ear hair, but the wife keeps me in line there.

A older friend once told me, your only as old as you let yourself be. So I try to live by that, and by exercising and staying in shape, having kids helps too.:up: I am a lot more patient now then I was when I was younger, well to a certain extent anyway. With my kids I am more patient, with stupid people ehh I can't say I have more patient now then I did when I was younger.

 

Getting older does have its benefits as well. While the 30-something across the hall is a new father I'll be an empty nester within 3 years. I can't wait!

 

I turned 42 last week and my favorite statement to my wife is:

Honey, once you're over 40 you're allowed to wear black socks to the mailbox and while mowing the yard. It's a symbol of power and distinction comparable to the Silver Back gorilla.
Eboz

 

When you hit 50, you get to wear black socks with sandals..WHOOOOHOOOO.

 

oh i am in good shape, far better than i was at 17, and while i am not as big (read muscular bodybuilder) as i was at 25, i am certainly dont have any fat, lol. i take care of myself and am very active, hair isnt a problem (i still have it all and mostly the right color), but the ear hair is a pain though, it sneals up on ya, along witht he odd crazy eyebrow hair.

 

I've said that to a lot of people and I'm only 24?! Am I aging prematurely?

 

Yup same thing here. If the wife says I need to trim the ears...I'm in the bathroom taking care of them. I tell you what...I don't know what hurts worse pulling nose hair or ear hair...my eyes water pulling both. I hear ya with the eye brow hair. My wife is like a monkey grooming me, she'll stop me, look at my and move my head around and then yank a hair out of my eye brow, forehead, or somewhere else on my upper body that is an inch long. These things have like super powers or something...because one day they are not there and the next..."where the hell did that come from".

 

My husband must be lucky... I don't pluck the superhairs. I get the scissors and make them look normal.
