Is it the best time of your life, or does growing older suck?

[highpeaksdrifter]

My wife and I are reasonably secure financially now.
My dick doesn’t do all my thinking for me anymore.
Years have brought wisdom.
My ski life is great.

Good things all, but I’d have to say that getting old sucks. At 54 I’m fit and active, but for how much longer?

Um, you shoulda made it, I'm not old like Trekchick!:lol:

Okay, you asked for it...

There is a scientific explanation for what you describe ..when you was young your brain was in the learning mode so it was laying down more tracks of memory to record as much as possible for future reference everything you were experiencing. That is why some childhood memories are clearer to you than what you did last week on a certain day. They discovered that the more memory tracks are being laid down by the brain the slower time seems to be to the individual .. that's why some people swear that everything was in slow motion during a accident situation and can remember vivid details about it.

Interesting. I always heard it explained much more simply. When a year is only 1/5 or 1/10 of your life, it seems longer. When it's 1/30, 1/40, 1/50th, it seems shorter.

That's the attitude I like to see and exactly what I am striving for as time goes by. I don't really look or act my age (29-I know, not really old) and am in no hurry to act that age... whatever it is.

Heh, I thought you were 24 or 25 so I guess your strategy is working.

They started skiing in their mid 40's now they ski their age, 65/day a year and my father in law still hang glides.

They are an inspiration to everyone who meets them. He was soaring high on Wednesday.

What does it mean when you're told that you're smack dab in the "Cougar Years"?

It means you would look great stuffed and mounted

Each successive year of my life has been better than the last. I aim to keep it that way. Right up and through the time I'm old enough to reap the benefits of senility, including cute nurse ass pinching and crapping in my pants.

I'm going to be 30 this winter and frankly I can't wait. Birthdays have always meant presents and parties to me not years, wrinkles and sagging. I would say that I look and act my age and I'm totally fine with that. What's the point of fighting it... it won't stop.

I still get carded on a weekly basis and I turn 29 in a little more than a month...it helps that I act like I'm 15..

I think that it's a universal compliment if you get carded once you pass 25. I knwo my wife feels that way!

Hell yeah..if I get carded by a bartender or server...I'm always like," Wow you're getting a good tip"..I like the fact that I can still date college girls even though I graduated 7 years ago..I've even been asked what my major is at a college bar...lol

True Story:
One day I delivered some fittings to a job site for my husband, and the engineer on the job yelled to my husband.........."your daughter is here with the pipe fittings, shall we take her to lunch since is near break time?"

I won't tell you where the ego's were flexed in that particular situation.
