Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. How old are you?...."I'm four and a half" ....You're never 36 and a half....you're four and a half going on five!

That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number. How old are you? "I'm gonna be 16." You could be 12, but you're gonna be 16.

And then the greatest day of your life happens....you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony....you BECOME 21...YES! But then you turn 30....ooohhh what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk....He TURNED, we had to throw him out. There's no fun now.

What's wrong?? What changed?? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40...stay over there, it's all slipping away....

So you BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50, you MAKE IT to 60 ...... then you build up so much speed you HIT 70!

After that, it's a day by day thing. After that, you HIT Wednesday....You get into your 80's, you HIT lunch. My grandmother won't even buy green bananas ....it's an investment you know, and maybe a bad one. It doesn't end there .... into the 90's you start going backwards...I was JUST 92...

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again .... "I'm 100 and a half!"

I must have floored the gas pedal I hit 70

Lol, that's awesome rosie... funny, but so true!

I've reached the 50's

so true.
I recon I'll make it to 60 easy and hit 70

Hi river, I'm glad that I made you laugh today...
but how did you feel when you reached 50?

Hi Charlie, don't worry yet about hitting 70, you silly goose
Right now, enjoy your 50s but not too much so you make it to 60.

It didn't really phase me rosie, I still felt 10 to 15 years younger... and I was still getting dates. But that came to a dead stop once I reached 55

The closer I get to 60, the more I'm feeling it as far as physical aches and pains... I keep telling myself it's all in my mind, that I'm as young as ever, but my body isn't listening, lol.

your still alright looking for 70 you probably still have blokes chasing you

lol because you kept on moving, river. Now that you've stayed put, they'd be lining up at your doorstep. As for the aches and pains, take two extra strangth tylenol and tell your body to listen

thank you, riverrd, and yes there are still blokes chasing me lol... but no matter how slow I go, the men in my age group couldn't catch me.

u must have been beautiful when u where younger.good on u darlin keep up the good work

lol reminds of the song

You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a wonderful child
When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild

thank you, riverrd. Yes, I was and still am.

you would have driven the boys wild alright. i viewed you a couple of times and thought at the age of 70 wow

Lol, oh yeah, I keep forgetting about that... thanks rosie

You're welcome, river
