Looking at some of the hot moms at the school and thinking how sexy some of them are....

Hoping for some warm weather so they wear their skimpy clothes

The Stages of reality & being forced to admit that the image my brain was seeing in the mirror was a hallucination :p

1st --- Needing readers :(
2nd --- No longer needed readers but couldn't see the TV :confused:
3rd --- Couldn't understand the TV dialog, turned on Closed Caption :confused::(
3rd --- Medicare, SS checks, IBEW pension checks :) YAY, finally a positive :D:D:D
4th --- Admitting my two children were truly in their mid 40's :rolleyes:
5th --- My skinny ass hurting after a jet ski ride o_O My hernia hurting even more :mad: Checking out pontoon boats o_O
6th --- Wondering why I had just walked into a room, there was a reason right ? :confused:
7th --- Wondering who's room it was ? :p and why are these strange people in my house ? :confused::confused::confused:
8th --- Wondering why my wife and chief navigator can't understand that in fact I can get to the bank going totally the opposite direction, eventually :confused: :rolleyes: :)
9th --- Reading your address book like a diary and realizing you no longer need them, because most those friends have passed :(:(:(
10th --- And finally --- Reading RDP, way to many young people with way to much energy in this forum --- Nah, just kidding it's a hoot reading your epic tales

When I had the Tundra oil changed and the guy said, $80.

And the lifted 2018 Tundra on the showroom floor was $65k before tax.

When I realized that some of my employees parents were younger than me. And some of their moms are hot.

The big one for me is watching my 83 year old parents really start to slow down. My dad was in a softball league into his seventies, and still enters the Wisconsin Senior Olympics for SWIMMING! But over the last ten years he's had three types of cancer, is now blind in one eye, and has given up water skiing, downhill skiing, and bicycling. My mom had a stroke just before last Christmas, and is doing very well all things considered, but can't drive any more. The fact that their time remaining is so clearly limited makes my time limit very, very real.

I'm 53. Carpe diem.

When I started looking at the Obituaries in the paper and online. Sobering reality when you realize you have less days ahead of you than behind you.

When ordinary movements now result in injury.
Two weeks ago I pulled an extension cord out of the socket and tore the crap out of something in my shoulder.
It still hasn't healed.o_O:mad:

We started hanging out with folks that are 10 years younger than us.
I think it makes them feel younger and us too.

I just turned 50, for me it was 6 years ago when I got my first 'old guy look-away' from a cute young girl in the car next to me at the stoplight. Damn, just damn...still stings.

Yesterday my 17YO daughter drove me home from Joe Jost's after the races...

Fuck AARP, they use your money to promote their commie agenda.

About 35 my knees, back, shoulders all started to feel "loose and rattley", started take gloucosamine/chondroitin and no issues since.

I keep thinking (happily married) when I think I get a look from a younger lady that I mighta had a shot...and realize it's the "he's safe, old guy" look. Shit!

I've been a grumpy old fuck for a long time, finally starting to look the part, but not feeling it.

I've been feeling it for a couple of years, but today I went to the Dr. for a spot on my nose that appeared in just a couple of weeks, she says she doesn't know what it is and is sending me to a dermatologist. Now I'm feeling older, might have to start getting shit cut off at 42, but hey if it's bad then my wife caught it early so we'll be good.

I still think about what I'd like to do when I grow up... oops. Missed a couple decades in there somewhere.

Using reading glasses. Wondering why the gray hairs grow so much faster than the rest.

At 41.5 I’m in great health and good shape but I’ve started looking at all my projects cars etc... and started to narrow down what I can realistically finish and build the way I want. I figure I’m on the second half of my life so if I cant get it done to enjoy it’s time to cut it loose.

Growing up Sir was how I was taught to address any adults, regardless of age. So it's never bothered me, because I've never really associated it with being old, just being an adult and mutual respect.
What I do not like, is some youngster calling me DUDE or BRO ---- unless of course we're good friends and just goofing around.
Had some dumb shit I was interviewing for a job and seriously the stupid shit called me DUDE --- ummmm no.
