Old enough to have learned how to be better at everything.

But only once.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

How do I answer the question, is it asking my chronological, physical, emotional or perceived age? Some days I feel very old indeed, very rarely any more do I feel younger than my years and that's usually with my grandkids. Now as to where do I fall............ various places. :silly:

I also have clothes over 30 years of age.  My wife is always after me to get rid of stuff after a few years.  If the clothes are still in good shape, why get rid of them?  Everything is disposable for her!!!

Two of my favorite pieces of clothing are a sweater I wore to my wedding rehearsal 27 years ago and a sweatshirt my parents brought back from Niagara Falls when they celebrated their 20th anniversary 35 years ago.  I've worn both of them within the past week.

Oh, you, too.  But I've only got one -- a tweed jacket I got at Brooks Brothers in 1985 -- no problem from the wife about keeping it, she loved the fabric so much she asked me not to throw it out even though the ends of the sleeves got tattered.  I finally had leather sleeve-caps put on them so I could keep wearing it.  It's now the jacket I throw on when I'm in jeans (which I only wear on days I do manual labor around the house or garden -- never understood the notion of jeans as a fashion item -- they're work clothes) and need something warmer to go outside.

I put on some boots the other day to wear for snow shoveling and had to laugh, because I distinctly remember buying them in 1977. Not old at all!

I'm 67, but I feel no different than I did when I was 40.  I still would like to play racquetball if I could find someone to play with that is not a hotshot.

My wife is 20 years my junior, claims that for a period she was training for the Olympics in Russia, and for the 20 years we have been together, I have been able to outrun her, even when I am not working out or anything for periods of time.

I hope I stay this way for another 20 years.  Hope I am still here 20 years from now.

I have always known what I know now... The problem was that back then I didn't think it made a difference. You are proposing wisdom for the youth... which time and again has proven to be an incompatibility.  :shrug: It comes with white hair and nothing else.

I inherited my dad’s WWII  Eisenhower jacket with his medals. He got that jacket in 1945. I also have his dog tags.



I have a childhood stuffed tiger I received on my 4th birthday too.
