Holy damn... I only *thought* I had problems back then...

I need one sympathetic DUer to KILL ME before Sunday, so I can technically die as a thirtysomething... Trust me, you'll be doing me a favor...

1. LOL! Wait ten or twenty years and then you'll REALLY have something to cry about! nt

[Blue_Tires]

3. Guess I'll have to sweeten the "kill me" pot before then...

[MADem]

6. After a while, it becomes a game of "SURVIVOR." LOL!

Outsmart, outwit, and OUTLAST!!!

I'm staying on the Big Blue Marble for as long as I'm able! There's something to be said for "EXPERIENCE!"

2. Turning 60 next year

I'll kill you if you promise to kill me

4. Hey, me too!

Isn't it odd how inside, we still feel young? It's a shock to look in the mirror. I mean, I'm still fine (IMHO, ha) but when did those lines get there?

[Auggie]

7. Yeah. When my dad turned 80 I asked him about his thought process ...

how he arrived at certain decisions, for example, and how he generally felt in a mental kind of way. He answered that it was like he was still 18. I totally get that now.

So we're not maybe as prone to act as impulsively now as we did then (we have learned from certain experiences and may operate from more wisdom or more caution) but we certainly have the same youngish thoughts.

10. Story I heard years ago:

A young twenty-something man and his very elderly frandfather were sitting on a park bench one bright warm sunny day, when a luscious young lady walked by them. After she passed, the young man said, "I wonder how old a man gets before he loses interest in women."

Grandpa rubbed his chin for a moment, thinking, then said, "Well....it must be past eighty five....."

Yeah. I'm with Grandpa!

12. Great story

[KatyaR]

5. Me, too.

I'm having trouble dealing with the concept that I'll be as old as my father was when he died....

9. I played this song on my last birthday

So suck it up and keep going you young punk!

11. Damnit I turned 30 last year

Thought it was going to be orgy central for the rest of my life.

[Kaleva]

13. In a couple of years, I can get free cheese.

As I get older, my goals get downsized.

[Blue_Tires]

14. Well, the birthday has passed and I'm still alive

15. Sitting in Social Security Office...#286...

#274 finally up on screen. Earlier there was a skinhead looking guy sitting next to me loudly singing to himself. He is still nearby learing at folks. Yep....at 62 life does not get better than that!
