I'm only 64, a little overweight, haven't aged terribly like a meth head, still have hair.
I guess to a kid in his twenties I'm ancient. How depressing!
I should have said I haven't aged like Keith Richards!

It only matters if you accept it.

It is a shame that youthful looks are wasted on young people. And that youthful bodies are wasted on young people.... drill sgt.

I was gonna mention that Beatles song, but I won't. It started when I was being called sir by the cashiers, then asking if I want a senior discount on stuff. Sixty four isn't old, it's a classic lifestyle

I was told by a physical therapist "never refer to yourself as old. Old means terminal. Refer to yourself as aging. Aging is a process." Something to do with medical charting I think. I have been calling myself old for years.

Old , Senior Citizen , Boomer , who cares . Does not bother me in least .

I live with my grandkids and when they referred to me as being older than dirt I asked them if that was new dirt or old dirt. They looked confused and I laughed and laughed!

Just turned 55, I was looking forward to all my senior discounts. I was and am pissed that they have moved the bar to 65 for the most part

Enjoy your "age". I had someone tell me long ago to not complain about getting old. Some folks don't get that opportunity.

Heard a comical saying from a friend who said:

"I was thinking about asking for my Senior discount, then dreaded I might be carded"?

"Then suddenly realized it would be worse if I wasn't".

I am in the 4th Quarter and don't look it - "Don't let the old man in".
Is my motto!

I'm not really depressed, more amused. He didn't say it to my face, I guess his manager.
That Beatles song has been in my head a few times. The saying I've known is "You don't stop playing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop playing"

Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional and I opt not to grow up.

On the 26th November will be looking for my "old geezer card" for my 76th birthday........... drill sgt.

Lots of dusty old coots in this thread.

Hate to break it to you, but you is one


55 and up, it is what it is, I don’t make the rules.

I’m getting closer to living in GeezerVille on Old Fart Avenue.

Perhaps a new version of Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet:


Livin' on Fiber and sugar free low fat sponge cake,
watching the hawt grannies covered in Oil.


Wasting away again in Geezerville, searching for my lost shaker of Metamucil.
Drivin' my Go-Go-Geezer-Golf-Cart around looking for hawt Grannies,
Wanna go for a ride (wink wink)

Some people claim there's a woman to blame (yep that's true)
But I know it's my own damn fault

Livin' in Geezerville, sippin' my Geezerrita-Margarita,

Wait until the clerk acknowledges you as a senior citizen but still has to ask for proof of age ID. LOL

You're cold-blooded, 911Boss.

I get the Senior Citizen discount at a local gun range, half price before 1:00 PM.

I am 61.
