I only deleted because I posted it to the wrong thread and did not feel like re-writing it again. I am sure it is a sentiment all we "old" guys feel. :03:

anyway, here is the original post:

63, gulp. This one bothers me more than I thought it would since I just realized I am closer to 65 than 60. I guess I am old. :)

funny thing is, in my heart I still feel like I am 35..except when I look in the mirror and see my father staring back at me...:ping:

Just wait 'til you get closer to 70, like myself, and they stop singing Happy Birthday and start singing Nearer My God To Thee... :D

Going to be 68 in December. What you have to look forward to, Bilge_Rat: in the past year, I have had people on the bus get up and offer me their seat; nothing makes feel suddenly older than the first time that happens...

Yes I am already entitled for old age pension but not while my wife is still working.
