yah but whAT SHE'S not tellling everyone is that she's looks 29!

old shmold missy! I hate getting called mam, Mrs. Miller, not getting carded anymore, falling asleep before my kids, and looking older waking up than before I got to bed!

hang in ther Big Meds and I Know PT with do you wonders-you'll feel 40 again

+1! PT is the answer to many problems. Problems like not having enough fear of pain and having too much money.

I got asked my age today! Cabela's check-out gal asked if I was over 21.

I'm celebrating the 21st anniversary of my 21st birthday, in September. I won't be 42. I'll be celebrating the 21st anniversary of my 21st birthday. That sounds so much nicer.

Last week I was thinking about when my niece will be driving, in 15.5 years. Then I thought, "No. That's not possible. For her to be driving, that'd make me 56 years old and that's not possible."

It could be worse.

(And you're only as old as you say you are!)

Hope you recover soon. Sounds very painful. Yep..takes a lot longer to heal when you get older.

I have been lucky so far. 51 here. I do have some problems lifting the 50 pound bags of feed some days. Seems when it's raining my knees bother a little. And I hate lugging it upstairs. I huff and puff. Getting old stinks. Or should I say being old....can't do what I did 30 years ago. Heck I can't even do what I did last year. The memory is the worst thing. I don't even know what day it is. Sometimes I get the year wrong. I think it is 2011. I have put that on a couple of checks. I wonder what is next. Probably the eyesight.

LOL, I get that already! I am always asking, sometimes several times a day, what is the day? And I did put 2011 on something not too long back. I figure, it isn't caused from being old, it is caused by living a life that has too much "life" in it to be confined by those darned little boxes on the calander.

But just to be sure, we are closing out Saturday here, right?

Yeah remind me of that after I get done cleaning out the young birds section of the coop today.

AND smellier.....

When you get up in the morning and the Snap, Crackle, and Pop that you hear ain't breakfast-it's you getting out of bed!

CRAP. Whelp, I'm there.


I look at it this way, you're not old until you're dead.​

What did you use to do that has already blown out all your joints. 50 is pretty young for that much damage.

Stick with the PT. I tore a rotator cuff about 5 years ago. Since then I have run across 5 different men that did the same thing. Out of the 5 only 1 had full mobility. The other 4 could only lift their arms a little above shoulder height.
The difference was physical therapy. I'm thankful I took the time to do it after my surgery.

Good luck. You still got another 30 years to go.

Since O work with teens I am made fully aware of my age on a regular basis!

Seriously I have clothes older than some of these kids!

But, I did not really feel all that old until I went to a restaurant with a friend and the waitress' name was the same as my daughter's. I commented on this and the women (yes she was an adult!) Said, "Oh is she about my age??"

My daughter is 8! Yes, EIGHT. This woman was probably ten years my junior if that!!! Ugh!



I just keep consoling myself on the reaction of a male student last year when I said I was 46 his mouth dropped open and he said, "No! You can't be! That would make you, like, as old as my mother!!"

Dh tells me this reaction was due to the guy thinking I was hot and then being grossed out to find out he was drooling after someone his mother's age!

One of the reasons I love my DH is cause he lies to me like that!

I heard Pat Benatar on the Oldies Station yesterday. "WHAT?! She's from the 80's!!!"

You want to feel old. Wait till the first time some teenager automatically gives you a senior citizen discount at Arbys. Then of course there's the unsolicited copy of AARP showing up in your mailbox.
