Yesterday I turned 47

[mwfudge]

And this year I didn't shart myself on my birthday.

 

[LesClaypool]

Sounds like your 48th year is off to a better start than your 47th was!

 

[cmanole]

Can't trust them after 40...

And this year I didn't shart myself on my birthday.

Do you figure you're at least halfway to dead at this point?

Unless there are some really good genes in his family, he crested that hill several years ago.

And this year I didn't shart myself on my birthday.

I'l be 66 in July. Hope I can say the same thing.

growing old sucks!

 

[fsu1jreed]

growing old sucks!

Yes, yes it does.

 

[squiffynole]

I'll take 47 in a heartbeat, it beats 63 and being scheduled for knee replacement surgery.

 

[DFSNOLE]

growing old sucks!

Yes, yes it does.

I'll third that statement.

 

[mwfudge]

I'll third that statement.

It beats the alternative.

 

[fsu1jreed]

It beats the alternative.

There's actually no evidence to back up that statement.

At a minimum, it's subjective. I can envision, and have witnessed, plenty of people still alive, but not really living.

This man agrees:

 

[gunnyhiway]

I'm 57, but have the body of a 56 year old.

 

[DFSNOLE]

I'm 57, but have the body of a 56 year old.

As a 56 year old let me say, I'm sorry.

 

[billanole]

As an "old" buddy of ours used to say, " If I had known I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!"
Paul T. Boyd was prophetic. I am a "watch this boys" dude currently residing in a sorta worn and not so responsive set of bones. Settling for lesser physical events is not my choice, but maybe inevitable . Failing while going for it beats the couch every time.

Happy belated.
