Damn you

So maybe I’m approaching 44 but I’m not aging drastically (cries some while posting this)

I usually have to use my flashlight on phone. Never thought about the picture thing.

Be less obnoxious than my flash being on

It definitely depressed me.

I’m about to turn 40. I look really young for my age, but apparently that doesn’t matter. 44 and I turn into a geezer. Then 60 and into the elderly. Then dead.

68 for me.


I’m 67 now and I’m wondering when I can receive my old man card where I can say some outlandish crap or crap that used to lead to a fight and they say just ignore that, he’s old and losing it. Seems like it will be fun.

My wifes eyes went to shite too about 2 years ago, we are a mess. Went to eat with a group the other night, 8 of us, 5 who cant see with one pair of cliq readers to share. Quite the sight.

Fun if you know it. Not fun if you happen to actually have dementia and you’re cussing out the black mail man for casing your house and trying to fight a bag boy for talking to your daughter too nicely (your wife)

One of my fraternity brothers looks like he hasn't aged at all but he's had two stents and a quadruple bypass. You never know.

I'm 59 and feel 40. Full head of hair and no crows feet at the eyes. I'm an outlier for sure.


I'm starting to look hard at 80, but most people think I'm in my early 60's. No lines on my face. I'm very lucky for my age.

I was in peak shape in my mid 40’s & ran a 1/2 marathon. I started to feel my age in the past couple years (I’m 52). Now I use readers, I’m slower to stand up if I have to bend my knees for any reason, and my noggin is pretty much all gray. Maybe my 2nd burst won’t happen till I’m 70

My second and third burst hit when I had another kid at 50.

How big is the age gap?
I had my first at 39. I'll be 42 later this year, and we just had a miscarriage with our 2nd baby. Still gonna keep trying. I want three, even if it means I'll be damn near 70 at a HS graduation for the youngest.
Also, thoughts on having a kid earlier vs later?




And yes, OP is correct. I just partially tore my biceps tendon in a bowling tournament last week. Hitting middle age sucks. Can't WAIT to be old

I must be the exception and I think genetics have something to do with it. I never noticed anything until the last year when I began to noticed crepey skin on my hands. It bothered me to the point that I even asked my doctor. I thought maybe something might be wrong with me. He told me I was lucky that some people get that in their 40's. Other than that I have no issues health wise. Do not take any meds on a regular basis and I will be 56 in September.
