The other day I reported (as I do every month) to the COAG Clinic, to check blood coagulation time, because I take Warfarin. I had a new (to me) nurse to do the minimal interview and finger-stick for a drop of blood and run it on the little computerized analyzer.

As I left the examination room, she said, "There's NO WAY you're eighty!"

Without looking back toward her, I said, "You'll have to talk to my mother about that, Nicole!"

Well, it seemed witty at the time. I guess you had to be there.

Example of Maine humor:

A rather large woman was trying to board a local bus but the doors were designed for normal people, so she was kinda stuck. The driver smirked at her and she got huffy. She said to him "If you were half a man, you would help me." He said, "If you were half a woman, you wouldn't need help."

I'm eagerly awaiting my next birthday (February) when I'll have a party with the theme "Me Bus Pass Birthday"

I will officially be a Senior & entitles to my Senior's Card which gives me subsidised public transport & occasional discounts! I already get offers of seats on buses!! And I always accept them.

I don't feel like a 70 year old, I feel like 7 ten year olds.

Truth to tell, I've reached the age when my back goes out more often than I do.People no longer say, "You are good looking" they say "You are looking good."
It's true that I'm looking good, just had my glasses changed.

Went to my 50th high school reunion, met my old girl friend, she was so old she didn't recognize me.

I'm 63 in July.

Yesterday I walked about 10 miles and am feeling no ill effects today at all.

The day before my GP told me that I am a bit unfit but healthy. He also told me that he is fit but not particularly healthy. We occasionally meet when I am walking and he is cycling. He says that I 'amble' too much and that if I want to be fitter I need to get out of breath more. While I'm ambling along I might think about that!

Apart from all of that life has never been as sweet and as exciting than it is now ... I never imagined that 63 would be like this!

Will Fly noted in January that 62 respondants averaged 70 years of age; so at that point we were just about 4340 years old. Our 16 year old friend knocked the average down some since then.

Now I'm gonna have to think about what I want to be when I grow up.

And that means I'll have to decide whether to grow up or not.

Welll... in my bio at www.onetinleg.com (which brought me to the previous thread) I'm using the line "with the onset of late middle age..." Been dining out on that one for the last seventeen years. I was twenty in 1960 and played backup guitar with Pete Stampfel and Jim Kweskin at the Gaslight Cafe on MacDougal Street. The day job was as Murray the K's board operator at WINS before the all-news format. Memories, anyone? Gee, that makes me 72.

62 this week.

Still can't play the guitar as good as I'd like. I've gone off reading, which is okay - it fits in with my eyes not being as good as they should. Worryingly, I've gone off the idea of an afterlife. I don't think even if i lived into eternity the guitar playing would get right.

I should have attempted something easier in life. More in line with my capablities. Perhaps I would have been a success working in a burger bar - I can make sausage sandwiches.

Absolutely right, Ebbie, about the age-perspective regarding the early part. My schooldays certainly lasted at least 10 times as long as my first, 48-year, marriage!

A few year ago, some kids were talking and one said: "OMG..I'm turning 20! I'm not a teenager anymore..I'm getting OLD!"

I said. "Hey...20 is great! I like 20....in fact, I liked it so well I did it 3 times, and working on 4!"

They just stared at me...

75 my last birthday. It occurred to me when I adopted my latest dog that this could be the last one I ever have. He is only 2 years old and should live to be round about 15. Logically speaking, I should live to be 84 or so.

My daughter just had her 49th birthday. Now,that is startling. Previous to this one, her 29th birthday was of the most significance to me because I remember so clearly when I turned 29. But 49? That is recent history!

Someone once said that no matter how old you live to be, the first 20 years will always be the longer half.

Having averaged the ages here with the children who have been born from the children of the people here over the last 10 years along with the number of children expected to be born over the next 10 years... the average age is 13.
