Do you sometimes forget how old you are?

I have a wife who constantly reminds me of how old I am, especially when it comes to birthdays.

If you look at my medical thread, it can be seen that I’m being reminded of it right now.

Someone once tried to remind me of just how old I was, but I thought that that can’t be right since I’m sure I was at a Pizza Hut with my children at the time.

I really have no complaints … as long as my mind ages at the same rate as my body.

Perhaps. on second thoughts, :thinking: … it might be best if my mind outlasts my body.

We are all the same age, just at different times, @Azz.

The other day I heard age, and your life in general, as compared to a book of chapters … that get less racy and scinitllating and more incoherent and repetitive until you discover the last pages have been cruelly ripped out.

Jolly that, isn’t it.

I still have the body of a 30 year old, and the heart and face of a 75 year old…
:frowning_face:
I still do all the things I did when I was at my best…Just a bit slower now though…

I prefer to think of “how long” I’ve been around in terms of the distance I would have covered if I were travelling at the speed of light.

Reminds me of the old joke

My mind thinks I am 35
My sense of humour suggests I am 12
My body keeps asking if I am sure I’m not dead yet!

Last year. I could fob myself of by. Reversing.
Its only a number. To 78.
This year that magic doesn’t work. :cry:
The adage that “The Good die Young”. Has been my experience.
With so many, easily recalled, wonderful younger friends and acquaintances, that have passed over the bar.
With the converse applied. ‘Could be deemed Sinister’.
Solution.
The adage that. “A Laff a Day”.
Keeps ‘More Than’. “The Doc Away”.
Yes. Its Only a Number. :+1: >> :hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed:
Enjoy whilst you can. Can the dross. :icon_wink:

You’re only as old as you feel.
I’m 72. But I don’t feel a day over 90.
