I'm offically and old fart

[Thumbcocker]

I walk the line between sweet old guy and creepy old guy.

There's nothing at all one can do about it. Time, as they say, marches on. It's fun to ask for senior discounts.....

Feels old to be old.

You misspoke, it's "It's weird being the same age as old people!"

[Txcowboy52]

If I would have known I was gonna live this long I’d took better care of myself!!

I'm past where I CAN get it, but not yet at "full retirement age" though according to my countdown clock that is only 150 days away. I bought that thing to countdown to the year 2000 and it still runs. But I can't program any date in it after 2024 so I can't set it to count down to 70.5 which is the last significant date in my life.

In staff meetings I am the one person who is not sitting there looking at their cell phone. I have actually forgotten to turn it on for as many as three days straight

When this subject came up awhile back a member here stated that if he woke up in the morning, and nothing hurt----
he needed to check his pulse.

Sounds like a latent Y2K bug to me.

Getting old is not for the meek or faint of heart.

Yep lots of truth in this statement

[popper]

Don't know why all my school classmates look OLD.

[Rapier]

I do not regret getting older, I regret the alternative, for those that did not.

[blackthorn]

Never felt like I was OLD until (a couple of years ago) my oldest son said "yep going to retire in 2 more years"!!

Just had this conversation today!

[tinsnips]

Just retired last year much better than working 6 days a week. Don't care what the weather does anymore . I just wish my body didn't have to hurt so much.

I started feeling old when I had trouble getting up from the floor. I started collecting SS a few years ago. Guess what I can still get up! Keep working as long as you can. You won't last long in a chair.

I started feeling old when I had trouble getting up from the floor.

I thought that just happened to me mainly because I'm one of the 'full figure girls' and about 40-50 pounds over weight.
I can still get up on a open surface, but it sure is easier if I can hold onto something.

And once I'm down on the ground, before getting up, I ask myself,
'Is there anything else I need to do since I'm already down here'?

[Three44s]

I tell people that researching so called man caused climate change is a waste of resources! We should be investigating to discover whether gravity is getting stronger!

It sure seems that way to me!

So got my first SS payment this month, so I'm now and old fart.
I did wait until I maxed out, hoping I would stay young as long as possible.
Feels old to be old.

Congrats on being alive and well to get the Social Security payment!!! My only real disappointment is when I brush my teeth every morning. (Yup I still have MY chompers!) and see this old guy's image in the bathroom mirror. But, I reckon that's why our eyes are inside our head and we may only see "out". In thoughts I'm fifty years younger -- 25 or so.
Enjoy the days!

I glory in my curmudgeon status.

If you can, retire sooner than later. Just make sure you have stuff you like to do to keep you busy, things (or places or people) you look forward to. Keep on learning. Keep on experiencing the new, while savoring the old.

[country gent]

I tell people when I was young we had new dirt to play in.

[Baltimoreed]

Congrats on your first SS ck ol’phart. Now get ready for the high life. Maybe? I retired 12 years ago and went back to work part time a year ago. It’s hard but it’s good for me. A word to the wise, stay active and out of that recliner, it will kill you. If you’re not shooting you should be moving is not just a combat strategy.
