Over 70 if you still do not feel old, then I doubt you ever will.

I always had 2 generation in front of me.
Then they slowly died.
Now I'm that generation, with 2 generation behind me.

Now I know why I feel old.
SOMETIME.

I like that!

Have you also noticed, as your close-up eyesight gets worse your wrinkles get deeper, but you can't see them.

Hi

This is a good thread isn't it Wink Reading Nora&Neil I have remembered a moment when I felt I was maybe getting old ..it was sometime just after my Dad passed away aged 92, closely followed by his sister aged 97 ... a young relative asked if I was now the oldest person in our family circle and I realised that I was..... and added to that I realised that I was no longer someone's "child".

I felt that I may have to grow up.....
Fortunately the feeling soon passed Laughing


Mike

Another one that got to me was when I realised I would rather risk an embarrassing change of underwear than subject the ageing knees to the hazards of a French squatter.

Eeeeeuuuucckkk. Shocked (Grips nose and gags at the memory.)





P.S. Apologies to those who don't like movement on the page, but a Happy Christmas to them as well. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I know Mike. The mind boggles at the thought of what might happen if you had a catastrophic knee failure. Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

I'm feeling rather flushed just thinking about it. (Groan)

Mentally it was the same as Steve, when I turned 30. Needed to get on with having kids. Physically I still feel fit but things take a little longer than they used to Embarassed
