[QUOTE="Old One, post: 2790635, member: 83"] [B][I]"Ehh? What's that ya say? Old? OLD? You people don't even know what old is...!"[/I][/B] Thus sayeth Old One, who is now in his 44th year on the 3rd planet from the Sun. Fortunately, I am blessed with "youngish" face and a full head of executive-style hair that isn't going prematurely grey (like, oh, Rel...for instance :p)...so people usually peg me at 5-6 years younger than I am. The saying "You are only as old as you feel" holds some validity, since outlook and attitude are very important. That said, there are three things that really suck about getting older... [B]Knees:[/B] Years of running, biking, jumping out of airplanes and other activities have given me "old" knees. Add 30+ lbs I shouldn't be carrying around and bleah. I am still very active, but I really have to rest the knees a day between long runs/bike rides. [B]Hair:[/B] Back in the day, I had just enough hair in all the right places. Now, unwanted tufts sprout from every place imaginable. I could easily employ a full-time "gardner". Now, don't get me wrong, I am not "40-year Old Virgin" hairy...but still...give it a rest, folicles! [B]The "Look" from Young, Hot Women:[/B] That sad, sad day when the "Look" goes from "I wonder if he could light my fire" to "Gee, he reminds me of my best friend's dad/high school history teacher/some politician on TV". The tipping point for me was around 36/37...when I started getting more of the latter than the former :o ! ~ OO [/QUOTE]
