I’m turning 76 in a few days. I consider it old but maybe not ancient.

I don’t think 76 is old. I had a good friend, at 91 was still cutting hay, working cows and in his garden! Just stay active!!!

I’m the perfect age. So one day older than I am is old, and one day younger is young.

If you played dodgeball at school, rode a bike without a helmet on the sidewalks, bought bullets at the gas station before you could get a driver license, drove dads old pickup to the store for your mom before you had a license, know how to make a haystack with square bales, think men wearing shorts is a little strange, then your probably old

LOL Still think like a kid , and I can do this or that.
Then set out to do it, and my body smacks me like my first wife when she got mad at me.

I'm 42 and check them all but driving dad's truck(dad was not around) and I don't think shorts are weird I even have a pair or two I may wear once or twice a year.

Edit to add. The older I get the older old becomes.

Well Nessmuck, maybe not quite that old, I still have 2 phones on the wall, one in the Kitchen and one in the Bathroom; but they have push buttons on them.

Now for Grandpa, I turned 78, I still have all of my Hair, not grey or dyed either. It only takes me 3 times longer to do the same thing when I was younger.
Still going one day at a time.

I used to think 50 was old. I’m 55 now and don’t see 75 as being old, lol. I have noticed I don’t quite heal up as fast when I’m stupid. Was having some hip issues, but steroids seemed to take care of that, got 6.5 miles in on the quail hunt Saturday morning. Got one property pulled today and another set. Hoping I can get another 20-25yrs of having fun before I start slowing down. My Dad (86) told me as a little boy, always stay moving. When you quit, you die. He had a pacemaker put in last Monday and was cutting the grass this past Friday, lol. He said he figured if that thing can get his heart rate back up, then he wasn’t gonna sit around wasting beats. Take care of your health and age is just a number.

56 is old if you’re 20 something, it’s all relative. Btw 1966 was a good year..

I never felt old until I turned 66. Then Arthur set in. But there are 70 yr Olds still running up mountains. Every individual is different.

It's the miles not the years that are worrying me. I'm feeling aches and pain I didn't expect to have until into my late 60s and I'm only 48..... at this rate I'm scare to see what 65 is going to be like. Don't know if I'm tough enough.

If you didn't know how old you were according to a date, would it really matter? . . . think about it. :-)
