Tman Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Even at the purely biological, note how many top marathon runners are not exactly teens-and-20s folks. Ditto athletes at most types of sport. I'd say that personally I was at a physical peak for my "sport" in my early to mid 40s - and that's even with training far more hours a day in my 20s and 30s. m I feel like I'm getting better as life advances. Then again a recent study showed that those over 50 still think they are looked at and treated like they were at least 15 years younger. I have to agree, I still feel like and feel like people are looking at me like I'm 35. A great age for those of you who are (whom are?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman5293 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Every morning I wake up I'm 18 again. Then the bathroom mirror reminds me I'm not. Time travel is an amazing thing. Hope thats how it is for me when I'm 50. Assuming we all don't die in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'd not want to be a teen or 20-something in today's world, I think. That's not a joke in any form. Actually my self image is mid 30s, too - although the 3D topographical map where I once had a face seems to cloud that concept a bit when I shave in the morning. <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm so old, when I was a kid my mother would me to the stream and beat our loin clothes over my head because rocks weren't invented yet.... Rainbows were black and white. At my age the best form of birth control if nudity. When I was a kid the Dead Sea was just getting ill... We did the 100 yard dash with a sundial... When I take a walk vultures follow me.. When God said "let there be light" I hit the switch. I was the bus boy at the Last Supper. I fart rust... When I was a kid Radio was silent... But there are worse things than getting old. I just wish I could remember them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I know whatcha mean, Jax... When I was in high school I lost my billfold. Last year a paleontologist friend of mine here - Walter Stein http://www.paleoadventures.com/ and he's for real, anyway - was excavating a triceratops. He gave me a call and... yup, you guessed what he found inside the rib cage... <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 50 and glad I wouldn't even want to be 20 again - I'm retired have a beautiful wife several (cough) years younger than myself, 3 homes in different parts of the country, numerous cars and 70+ really nice guitars why would I want to give that up to be young stressed and only concerned with chasing tail again. Although things do happen to remind you of your age sometimes - Saturday I went to a gas station to fill my truck as I wanted to run some errands I went in to get a drink and when I came out 3 young men were standing around looking at my 86 Chevrolet Stepside they were oohing and ahhing it and one turned and said what a beautiful truck is it yours I said yep and they started talking about what a classic year it was and on and on and then one said I just love these antique trucks they just don't make them like this now! Antique my *** I bought that truck new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, everyone in Texas drives a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 and 2 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Born in 1981. My maturity level varies. Depends on surroundings and what substance is affecting my brain at the moment as most of you have seen how post-happy I get after a few drinks. When I go camping, I revert to about 12 yrs old. When I am with my kids, my maturity level is either grade school (daddy) or 29 (or appropriate father level). I could just cut and pasted Mojo's response, 'cept I am 6 years older, 35 here.

Yep lots of older trucks in Arizona also - I guess there's just not a lot of the 1986 Stepside SS models with the 454 cranking 500 horses from the factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
