But ya gotta be careful!
Some of our juniors aready treat us like retarded children.
(NOT, I'm glad to see, DPCers.) |
Amen to that. Their turns are coming; it's inevitable. Honestly, I'm glad to still be around and have a (warped) sense of humor. |

I find this topic so depressing...at 48 is boredom, meds and despair what I have to look forward to at 50?
No age spots
I take no meds
I am regularly up past midnight with the alarm set at 5:05 am

Oh c'mon, can't you laugh? I KNOW you can. We've all seen your ass (and it's damn cute - if that is indeed you!)
I take 0 meds also and usually wake up between 4-5:30 am daily.
Furthermore, my biceps "ain't" bad, and I'm working on getting the jiggle out of the triceps. A couple of other parts are pretty perky as well.

The bad part is they will have the 50+ contest, half of them will sleep through rollover and not get their photo submitted, the other half will simply forget to enter the contest until its too late. :-)

Edit to add smiley.

Just turned 50 this month-no age spots unless lotsa freckles count. No meds unless you count the OTC one for "my own personal summers". Ahem. Shoveling horsecrap and hefting feedbags as well as the 70-200 2.8L IS seems to prevent the tricep wave. Wouldn't go back in time for anything, well, maybe I'd save more money instead of spending it? Ha. I think it's a feature to fall asleep within 5 minutes of getting horizontal, day or night. Gray hair? It started at 27 with a front big ole streak, and you bet I color it. Some colors gray gorgeously and red ain't one of 'em.
Off to Death Valley this week to ride my horse 105 out of the 200ish miles offered, with a party at Panamint Springs on New Year's Eve! On the two days I'm not riding I'll be looking for stuff to shoot of course. |

Originally posted by woohoopepper: Yeah, I just don't really want to host it myself. (I guess I'm just jealous of the "kids.") Hey, I know - maybe we can talk SC into hosting it! Any SC online??? It would be cool to have an age groups challenge (at least I think it would be fun). |
I am willing to host it for you old fogies. I can't enter cause to you I am just a baby but I will host if if you need someone just tell me what I need to do?

My birthday may say I'm one of the "old farts," but my attitude will challenge any of the youth's. I'm game for a contest, especially if it requires wisdom, talent or intelligence.

I think it's been proven that none of that is necessary. :)
I'd join you guys, but, of couse, I'm much too young.

Well cool, this is still going (and still no bear? Hmmmmmmm ...)
Well, Rex, toddler that you are, because you're willing to be our nurse's aid, how about if you make up the rules for us as well. Be as creative as you'd like. We really don't need to be rewarded - well, a gray ribbon might be called for, whatdayasay???? |

Nice hair! Do you gloat a lot??? LOL!
(All my teeth, plan on keeping them ...) |

Ooooh, I want to gloat (I don't care who rolls their eyes). I'm probably one of the best or the best in my tap class (ages 20-65). I can shuffle ball change and buffalo like there's no tomorrow! LOL! The only thing I can't do, or actually refuse to do are pull backs (it's not something dirty), but I'm afraid I'll fall (and break a hip or something, y'know?!) |

ohmigosh - you have a two year old??? Well, hey that's great. I'm just waiting around for grandbabies; no way I want to chase kids again 24/7 and go through TEENAGE years again. Well, enjoy your hair now, it'll probably be around for only another 11 years! |
