I have no problem admitting I'm 58.

I don't feel 58. I still think of myself as 30-ish. But I can read a calendar as well as the next person.

Oddly enough, I can use my bifocals...or I can take my glasses off. I often do, when I read.

Since we're all being honest, I'm 38. It's not a "5" yet, but I'm still wondering when I stopped being a kid...

Since we already have a 64 and a "More than 64", perhaps we should be going for anyone "More than more than 64"?
Yep I'm more than 64 and glad I made it to this age

If we're talking about what age we feel, I'm 18 but most of the time I feel 80.
I don't know why.

If you feel like you're already 80 when you're only 18, how do you think you'll feel when you really are 80? And how do you know what 80 feels like yet when you're not even half way there?


I didn't really start feeling my age till I turned 50: then I noticed.
Some days, I feel like I'm still in my early 30's: other days, I understand just what my grandma used to complain about!

And now I have a certain song (by Bobby Troup) in my head.


"Get your kicks..."

ROFL! Those are all good questions.
I guess I feel like an old lady, tired and cranky over my creakin' bones, lol. Now that you mention it, I'm scared of what I'll feel like when I'm actually 80.

For my 18th birthday everyone asked me what kind of party I'd have, as it's a milestone I suppose, but all I could say was "NOOOO I'm getting oooollllllllllldddddddd!"


So anyway, I meant to say. Back in my day. . . . . . . . . . . .

I'm 55. Some days I feel like I'm 80 and there are other days I feel like I'm 20, go figure.

Looking the 60 square in the face but with this incessant cold and nasty humidity, it feels more like 90 or better. Still not doing too bad for an old broad who has had more injuries than she can count - can still drive tractor, vehicles and a horse, so no problem and can still look after my critters. AND I don't need bifocals.......but have some odd arrangement that allows me to read music and the computer screen, always took my glasses off to read or look over top, and that hasn't changed - wasn't really aware of that until a man I went to school with told me some things never change, I still read over top my glasses or take them off.

Well, don't fret about it too much. When I was 18, I joined the military and we did all sorts of crazy things like running down roads with combat boots and rucksacks. All that pounding really did a number on my knees and for the next 5 years, I felt like an old man and figured that I was probably destined for knee surgery before too long. Fast-forward about 15 years, and I actually feel a lot better than I did in my early 20's. I still have the occasional aches and pains, but nothing that slows me down.

I played it over and over and over. Never thought it would apply to me and unfortunately, it did not apply to half the Beatles.
