My wife and I went to Maui for my 70th in ‘13. When we got back I treated myself to a 370Z. It’ll probably be the last car I own unless my clutch leg gives out.

ROTFLMAO! Now I don’t care who you are, that there is FUNNY!

That is rather hypocritical considering you probably did the same thing. Most people do.

I contend that gravity is increasing over time. I can no longer jump as high nor lift the same objects, and when I fall down, I hit harder and it hurts more. The scientific proof of this theory is that the bathroom scale gives a higher reading than it did 30 years ago.

I am 74 and. I take my dog to convalescent homes, to visit with people who are stuck there till the end. He is a certified therapy dog and we are well received among them. The Alzheimer’s ward is the most difficult. I always wonder how much longer before I am there with them. I pray for a quick end to my life when the time comes. Some of those poor souls are younger than I am.

“That is rather hypocritical considering you probably did the same thing. Most people do.”

Heh, no. I didn’t. I dont even remember what was trendy from my 20s because I was so disconnected. :^/

[napscoordinator]

Yeah sure.

[VanDeKoik]

Well hey. It’s hard to be hip when your clothes come from garage sales, your car was 20 years old, didnt listen to new music, and you didn’t have money for fancy electronics.

However all of those things became hip after the fact, so maybe I was a trend-setter?

A Subaru?

as the tv show puts it...

Have you been given the “senior Discount” at a movie theater without asking for it?

I have, but decide to be quiet and save the money.

50 is great. You have amassed a lifetime of skills and knowledge, and are still young and strong enough to take advantage of them.

When I turned 50, I built my home with my wife. No contractors, just the 2 of us. Best experience AND investment we ever had!

Wifey swings a mean hammer, but is a touch dangerous with a nail gun....

I'm ten years older than this guy and I do sleep in, I don't take any medications and I think classical music is for old fogies. I prefer channel 2 (Hits 1) and channel 15 (The Pulse) on Sirius/XM. And I'm getting a new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon so I can go out four wheeling. I also haven't hit that phase where I go into a room and forgot why I'm there.

I'm also closing in on colonoscopy age though I prefer to write it as 0x32.

When I go to an unfamiliar store looking for diapers for my youngest and have to ask where they are I have to be sure to specify children's diapers.

[momtothree]

Not yet BUT I’d take it too!

What a sad pathetic creature

What's sad and pathetic is that someone can't recognize humor. Is that last generation?

[envisio]

Your neighborhood? That is nice. I couldn’t afford the doorknobs to that place. Besides, I got nowhere to put my cows.
I can’t help but seeing him running around that house like a madman in skeleton pajamas like I saw him in Charlotte 25 years ago.
