Age of forum members

When I was a kid my folks used to say I was 16 going on 30. Now I feel like I'm 60 going on 30. Only problem is I can't remember exactly how 30 felt! Anyway here's my philosophy on old age... Don't slow down and maybe it won't be able to catch you! I'm 56 and counting...
 
physically I'm 40 years old.

Mentally, well........ I farted in my 10 year olds face the other day and he told me to grow up........ so...... maybe 5? :laughing: although my 3 year old son.. DID tell me to do it...so....

Well Even though "I" don't like to dance , that's a good post.
I have at LEAST 10 years left in the MD department, and maybe a lot more than that, my dad is 82, and still pretty swift active, etc..

I hate to think of the end, but I guess honesty should creep in somewhere.

Good thread. Hope I make it a few more years.
