Catching up with you, Dune?

It done caught up...

I'm officially 62.

Not too far behind you.
This old salt turned 57 last week. (19 for the 3rd time).

Message 1163806 - Posted: 20 Oct 2011, 2:57:31 UTC

Passing my own birthday doesn't bother me in the slightest.

However, when I realize how old my younger family members are, that makes me feel really old.

For example: It's perfectly OK that I'm 52.

However, the fact that my little sister is nearly 49 and my baby cousin is 43 is just plain wrong. What's worse, their kids (and mine) are all teenagers now. This is completely unacceptable. Hell, all but one of them are taller than me! Whose idea was that?

I just don't look out of the corner of my eye at my eldest son who is 42 about a third of the way through next year.

First time i realised my youth was probably over, was when people were graduating university who were born after i started school.
Does this mean i should now be mature and responsible? Hah! Not likely!

I have known that feeling, too!
Last couple years in the Navy, the youngsters I was training quite literally WERE young enough to be my kids. (And no, I don't have any kids that I know of...........)

And now it's the same at my current position with the USDA. Some of our recent new-hires are young enough to be my grand-kids.

Feeling old #3: my youngest sister's oldest daughter turned 29 in September, last week she got married.

James, John and rebest, Yer all lucky, You have children, I though don't, I spent Years taking care of My Mother, so that's that.


I'm sure it was hard on you. In 1986, my mother was diagnosed with cancer in November and was dead by the end of March. I still deeply regret not having more time and resources to have cared for her better.

You mean we can't use the pencil to do yo-yo tricks?
