..I listen to radio all the time and know quite a few of the newest songs
...being 60 means YOU KNOW A LOT about everything....and everything is in context..
..I still stare at rainbows and helicopters..
...I go to sporting events and I joke that I can out cheer people half my age and half my weight....
I still got it....still enjoying.....even with arthritis everywhere.....its all good...
the younger generations....well, many of them are pussies...real men are rare...they're shallow.....godless....I pity them...
Happy birthday ol’ FRiend...and many more!
Young punk :)
Happy birthday!
Our local grocery stores and movie theaters begin senior discounts at 60.
A few more I’ve experienced:
In any given gathering, you are the oldest in the room.
You may be old but you are younger than the Beatles and the Stones.
You are older than the last 3 presidents and probably could have done a better job, had you been crazy enough to run and get elected.
On the newspaper’s list of famous people born on this date, you’re lucky if you recognize one of them.
On the newspaper’s list of famous events on this date, you were alive during many of them.
Watching Jeopardy, you know most of the answers but totally strike out on anything related to pop music.
You now pay more taxes annually than you earned annually in your 20s.
I love telling people I was born during the Truman administration and seeing the blank look on their faces and then saying, "Truman, you know? The one after Roosevelt? Teddy Roosevelt?"
Happy Birthday!
I love when I’m filling out a form online, and you have to scroll down to your birth year. I just keep scrolling and scrolling, and . . .
I don’t have to get up to give an old person my seat. I AM the old person.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
The ultimate best perk for me...NO MORE PERIODS!
21) - You can sit back and watch the country you once knew as the greatest in the world slide into ruin and know you’ll not have to live in it as it’s becoming for very long - and for the first time in your life you’re happy that you have no grandchildren, because they won’t have to live in the world as it’s going to be in just a few years......
You are now a prime target for gangs of feral black kids.
I’m almost 58, and I like telling people I was born back when we only had 48 stars on the flag. I can get swept away with some of that Doctor’s Office Music, because I know most the original songs note for note.
I was in the 8th grade when JFK was shot. They sent us all home to watch the news on TV. We didn’t own a TV so me and a few friends went and watched a TV through the window at Sears, which was on Main St. Somebody working in the store turned it up so we could hear it and we went back every day and watched the news. Will never forget Jack Ruby jumping out from that crowd and shooting Oswald.
I was born during the Roosevelt administration and so was my mother (Teddy Roosevelt). ;o)
Means something different in CO and WA.
Well put.
