OT: I'm Getting Old

[mikeo80]

50 Bah, Humbug!

I think I am the second oldest person on the board. I Turned 62 in May. I retired the day before my birthday. (That was a very different day.) And as you know, I married Lisa back in February.

Hell, my life is as wide open and crazy as every. I still enjoy the discussions and thinking about both T2K and Morrow.

Poor, poor baby!

Age is relative.

Fifty is the new thirty.

[LT. Ox]

I'll give ye thirty

Poor, poor baby!

Fifty is the new thirty.

If I can have the Fifty back

Married men live longer. They have an "external conscience" known as "wife, dear, or sweetheart." Married men with children have the longest lifespan. Not only do they have an "external conscience;" They don't have any money to get in trouble with....

[Draq]

Too true.

I'm getting my -- let me see, one colonoscopy at 43 after may father died of colon cancer, two more two years later after nearly dying of colitis, and now another. Can't wait to see what he finds -- I have a lot to report about my digestion. Weird things going on.

Just as long as it doesn't resemble a storm drain with an old burnt out car, several shopping trolleys and a fallen tree I think you'll be fine...

I am only 33 years old and like my father who had at my age already grey hear, my first grey hear has appeared.

[lisa]

Fifty shades of grey---HAIR!

My first grey showed up at 21, as a result of my caregiving for my dad.
Twenty-nine years later, I have 90% grey, and I'm okay with that.

I earned them, but I'm certain Miss Clairol will restore my original shade.
(or maybe, I'll dye it pink.)

My grey hair started about 35. I'm ok with it though. I had a 50/50 shot at premature balding or Grey Hair. I'll take the grey hair.

My father was virtually bald in his early 30s. I have a definitely receded hairline and gray hair around the temples. I figure I ended up halfway.

However, I've always looked young for my age -- most people guess me mid-forties now, and I was carded until almost 30.

I was at a boardgaming convention this week. Lots of people of all ages, until I went into the wargaming room (they had a separate room, so they could leave up their games all week long).

I was the 2nd youngest person there. And possibly the most politically liberal.

[WallShadow]

I had my first colonoscopy about 5 years ago, on June 6. I got a real funny look from the attendant when I woke up from the Versed and asked if he'd been able to see the Invasion fleet. Not a history buff, I guess.

Yeah, gettin' old sucks.
Until you consider the alternative.

[pmulcahy11b]

And I'm off and running!

[Legbreaker]

Hope they don't run into any toxic gas pockets....
