I dunno. I'm 42, but the laser surgery I had to fix my eyesight in 1998 is just about at its expiration date. I no longer have 20/20 vision and I find that I have to push small print away from me now...

Not an answer to your question, I know. I'm just inferring that old catches up to everyone at different points, I guess.

I think of 70 as truly old. Although I doubt I see it. My old man died at 61 and most of his brothers died before him. I've had very few relatives live to be over 70. NONE on my Dad's side.

Although...I've known people in their 30's that were older than dirt. In some ways, age is what you make of it. I still fuq around and think fart jokes and the word "turd" are funny. You gotta keep laughing. give that and you may as well go ahead and die.

As far as overall health is concerned, I am doing well. Aside from working night shift, I feel great, too.

My cholesterol is a touch above what it should be, but nothing serious, and I could stand to lose 20 lbs (again)... but the Doc says I'm in good health. Full head of hair with almost no gray, too! (sorry 'boutcha, baldy)

I split the difference between wheel and MACS. I turn 44 next month. Still pretty creaky from the surgery but I think it will give me a significant amount of quality to my life. It has royally sucked for the lat few years and I'm glad I went ahead with it....plus I have a cool foot and a half scar on my back. Need to dump some tonnage and with the back feeling better, it should be easier to exercise and get it off.

The test of Old Dude status is as follows: If you purchase Just For Pubes to keep the grey away because your dong looks wrong, You are an old dude. If you are attracted to the daughter the mother and the mother's mother, you are an old dude. If you have more hair on your ears and shoulders than your head, you are an old dude. If you can remember before seat belts we mandatory, you are an old dude.

All in your head, at 49 like Jade the pain been sucking for over 6 yrs now , I beat blood clots, both lungs full 2 seperate years in a row, just fused C4-C5, in neck, 5 wks ago, need L4-L5 but waiting until SSD hearing is over this yr maybe, going through stuff from another lifetime last fall, I found the box and 2 cigars from my son's birth, he will be 21 in April. That'd make some people feel old, but even though I feel a little rough some days, I don't feel old, my family has been fairly hardy and long-lived except for a few uncles, my mom from cancer, nephew and niece(heart or PE problems,blood clot) so far my grandson has beaten cancer since his tumor removal at 6 mos old, now he is 3 yrs 4 mos. old. I don't have time to feel old. That has become the joke with my wife, now I told her now I'm gonna take up smoking cigars, too. I will let you know maybe at 55 or 60, but I always felt like you don't start getting old until around 70.

I will turn 49 in a few months, lived life full and somewhat reckless for to many years. Some of it is catching up but feel great. Other than my back, fractured my L4-5 in '97 but have not had to do any surgury YET, no serious ailments. The Doc can't believe my cholestoral levels, as I eat whatever I want and they are perfect. Says I must have good genes. Both parents, dad is 78, mom is 76 are healthy and very active. Both retired and being from NY do the snowbird thing every year. 1 younger brother and 2 older sisters and they also are very healthy. I believe the gene thing is a big part of health and aging.
Also nobody smokes cigs, just me and my cigars are the only tobacco use in the family. We all enjoy alcohol and me being the most modest user.
As stated above alot of it is state of mind IMO.

You can use this as a general rule as to if you are old or young.


If you have a limber back and a stiff ******, you are young.

I'll never get there. Old is a relative term; I will always consider being "old" at least ten years older than I am at any given time.

I wake up old any morning I go to the Vets Hall and -then- to the Snake Pit the night before.

But then I get younger as the day progresses... well, ok, at least by the following day.

I'll be 58 this year!! Yikes! I cut down on the beer a little and started exercising 5 or 6 times a week. Dropped from 190 to 180 so far.

It's not just how you feel about yourself. It's in the perception/reaction of others. Such as you notice you're being asked more often by the bag boy at the grocery store if you need help out with your groceries, the shuttle drivers to the airport are quicker to help you with your luggage and start telling you to be careful as you step off the bus to the curb, or worse extending a hand to help you down. Any stranger under 30 calls you "Sir". Your initial reaction to all of these thing is a giant WTF? Denial. Then anger. "I don't need any GD help..why in my day...oh...wait". Bargaining. and finally acceptance...using senior discounts, watching TV Land, TMC and AMC channels, going out to dinner at 5 pm, Buicks start looking good to you and start saying things like "Lock them all up and throw away the key".
