eeth, jp, other old people... want to feel even older?

My orthopaedic surgeon should be able to get another Porsche soon.

 

If you want to really feel old, here's a list of some films released in 1982 that turn 30 this year:

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Tron
Blade Runner
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Annie
48 Hrs.
Poltergeist
Conan The Barbarian
The Dark Crystal
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Porky's
Rocky III

 

so now that i feel sufficiently older, what can you now do to make me feel odder, tom?

 

in my experience they are one and the same.

 

can't disagree with that.

 

I hate being 34.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, chicks and dudes, I'm sorry for breaking up your pity party, but why the stigma attached to being middle-aged? I just turned 42 around Christmas, I saw most of those 30-year-old movies in the theater, including BTF 1-2-3, and I'm damn glad about the passage of so much time.

I'm smarter, better looking, married, have more control over my life, more money, a greater understanding of human nature and am generally happier than I was in my teens and 20s. I'm also healthier, believe it or not, because now I care about what I eat, exercise, etc., which I really didn't in my teens/20s.

This fear of aging/condemnation of the aged thing has got to end. Older people are smarter, wiser and have more power to affect the world than the young.

So there, nyaaah.

 

what?

 

You are a spring chicken.

*waves cane*

 

and doggone it, people like me!

Getting older does have *some* benefits. I KNOW I'm a better weather forecaster now than I was ten years ago. I KNOW I'll be an even better forecaster ten years from now.

You also tend to be able to put things in perspective more as you get older. I'm way calmer now that I was when I was 24.

 

I'm getting me some botox this year.

 

The only thing in this thread that makes me feel old is that vin is referenced in the title. He's only 36.

 

I am a few weeks away to being permanently old. you know the age bracket of 19-34 for marketing purposes. The other day they ask me to do a survey in which I was apart of that group. They fudged my age to make my numbers. Whether its a week or a month, turning 35 means its you are old. no two ways about it.


I am still getting used to being called Sir by younger folks. Professionals don't bother me its the young sales associate that makes you feel bad.

 

People with down syndrome never worry about their age.
I wish I was a downie.

 

That's just ******ed.

 

I'm 35 in October. Thanks.
