Middle Age

[Jimmy1]

Hey guys and gals, I am 45 on the 17th. Is that officially middle aged??

Maybe I need to go through a mid life crisis and buy a sports car or something like that.

 

[Zipperhead]

You old fart! Middle Aged is actually 41. It will change to 42 on October 11th. We young people pity you guys that have already crested and are starting that long slide back to pampers. Well, if there's diapers in your future, you might as well do it in style. I prefer Jaguars.

All a matter of persepective. How long do you plan on living? 150 years... Your're just starting off. 60....... Get ready for a walker, bingo and go collect your bus pass.

Hey, hey, hey! 63 and tired, opps, I mean proud of it. Really, considering all the things I put myself through, I'm amazed I'm still verticle. The worst I've got right now is bad arthiritus in the neck and back but if that all I've got, I'm not complaining. I guess I've got my career in construction thank for it. Started out as a roofer (tough job) and after I graduated I was a construction inspector for a lot of years. All that walking kept me in shape. I'm very thankful.

Hey Sarg, are you sure it was the Vietnam War and not WWII, or Korea you were in.

And all that walking, is that because vehicles were not invented.

 

[Sarg]

Chuckle. Naw, actually it was our Civil War. Damn them cannons were heavy!

Hey youth, shields and spears actually. And shot for the slings.
Seriously, I was looking at some 1914-1918 stuff. CEFO was nearly 65 lbs.
Then again, now, with body armour, ECM, ammo and batteries I suppose it's about back to that on patrol.
Oh yes, nearly forgot (must be Alzeimers). 45 is NOT middle-aged 'cos I'm 54 and still interesting......

I heard a good quote on this.

"Middle age is that point in your life when you shift from seeing the future in terms of your potential and begin to see it in terms of your limitations."

 

[Sarg]

Oh, crap, you had to quote that...now I feel really, really old. HA! Hey, one good thing, I don't get speeding tickets on my motorcycle any more!

You Gentlemen have a truely wonderful evening.

They say age is a state of mind, so if you don't mind it don't matter, sure what ever age you want is middle age. :laugh: Just enjoy the ride. I'm 64, man that sounds old. I don't feel it. more like a 100!!!! Still horny as ever. :laugh: Can I say that here. Horny, Horny, Horny. :laugh: :laugh:

You know you've past middle age when you start to laugh at your own jokes. :laugh: OOPS!! I'm in trouble.

 

[Anglesachse]

you definatly missed the stop, when you remember Chieftan as a Rank and not a Tank, and a Warrior was the guy who stood next to you, and not a sardine tin you drive into combat in.

just so long as you don`t remmeber a Centurion either as a rank or a tank, cos thats way past Middle age, wouldn`t you say so, Ned :whistling:
