You think you're feeling old? I'm only eleven years younger than your mom and graduated from high school before you were born...

Cry me a river :-D


My High School now has joint reunions with other classes every other year.

My daughter is 26 years old.

My Dad is 84 and my mother is 80. Sarah's parents have been dead for 12 years.

My brother is retiring next year.

Oh boy...(in fine Fred Flintstone voice)

Fred Flintstone said, "oh brother."
If you watched the Flintstones in prime time, then you're old.

And Fred and Wilma did cigarette comercials, too.

I found the only solution to feeling young is to have a baby when you're 48 or older.

Too old! We plan for it before I am 30. That gives me 5 years.

Or you could have an affair with a 22 year old hottie. Just saying. Of course I have to get approval first from Mrs. Barkeep.

I've seen her on Facebook. She's got better curves than most 22 year olds.

Too little planning leaves you broke in the gutter. :P That aside, I have always hated surprises.

My advancing age has revealed that even this type of foresight is not a guarantee. SURPRISE!

You're too young to be discouraged.

I never thought I'd be 54 years old and unemployed for almost a year. But it happened.

Turns out it's going to be all good. Sarah has her dream job, I'm getting out of this sterile suburb and I'm going to live in a house I never EVER thought I'd ever be able to get. Also, the job market for what I do is booming in that part of the world.

Let me leave you with this. when I was about your age, I had no job and a 5 year old with no child support from the other parent. We got through it. It's just a matter of not giving up.

Yes, there's been some time of deep depression, but I never gave up

Congratulations. I wish I could say I have kids, but never managed to have them. I wish I had them because I'd never be alone.


I was just invited to my high school reunion..

That must be fun. Missed mine because I was out of state. IIRC High School was a lot of fun. Enjoy!


I just woke up to discover it was my Mom's 70th birthday..

And she's still around? Thank God. The XYL and I have lost ours. She lost hers before she was 35.


Yeesh!

You're too young for "Yeesh!" Believe me, I think you are a very lucky guy. :yes:

My older brother and older sister retired last year.


Oh boy...(in fine Fred Flintstone voice)
