I guess it's official now....I'm OLD

[fiasconva]

Scheduled for cataract surgery on one eye for the 18th and the other one on the 25th. I was sorta wavering on the old part. Then I get my Medicare card in the mail today. Oh well, I'm old. But when you consider the alternatives...

Welcome to the club. All I got for my 65th birthday was a Medicare Card, but everyday here beats the alternative.

Old???

I'm pushing 70 going on 21. Enjoy the surgery---it is painless and if anything like mine very successfull----I had great near vision but the cataracts were killing my far vision to the extent that when I hit a golf ball I could not see where it went (that gets costly). After the surgery---back to 20-20---can drill tight groups wityh my firearms but my golf game has need of improvement-----nothing to do with the eyes--more with the swing

A couple months ago I finally realized that I'm the older generation now. WOW!

 

[A Castle]

My head has worn out three bodies!!!

 

[Kelly Green]

I'm beginning to look my age. When people notice I tell them: I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

 

[Evil Dog]

I'm in fact older than the Air Force !!!

I remember when that realization hit me. I was getting replacement officers on my shift that hadn't been born yet when I took my first radio run. But as you say, it beats the alternative! I hope the surgery goes well.

To all you young fellows - I'll be 80 the 5th of next month. The cataract surgery was really simple - my doctor explained each step as he did it. I had 20/800 and 20/850 vision and had worn thick glasses for 62 years. After the surgery I had to renew my drivers license and for the first time glasses were not required. HOORAY

 

[snubbyfan]

It seems the older I get, the more cards I have. NRA, CCW, AARP, AAA, health insurance, auto insurance, social security, prescription, a gate card for my hydrotherapy place and a membership card, drivers license, credit cards, in less than two years, I'll get a medicare card, and others I haven't thought of.
It's a good thing I do leatherwork, I'm gonna havta stitch up a second wallet to hold all the extra cards.

The Air Force and I were born in the same month and year, December 1947. But I don't feel quite that old....yet.

 

[rock doc]

When I turned 40, my father said that I finally looked my age, since I started turning gray in high school. Well, now, I'm pushing my 6th decade, and we are both still around. As others have said, 'sure beats the alternative'. God bless you old folks

I really felt old when I was told by a National Guard unit that couldn't take me since I would be 62 in a few months, and 62 was the official end of service life for an aviator; while they had several billets they needed to fill, I was not going to be one of them. They thanked me for my service (I really, really hate when people say that, btw) and bid me adieu. They did recommend the Virginia Defense Force's Aviation Battalion, where max age is 65, but to fly, one had to provide a member owned single engine fixed wing. Damn I'm getting &%$#@*$ old.

 

[vytoland]

if you are above ground.....you aint old.............enjoy the day

Getting old

You can tell when you getting old when the Mothers look better than the daughters!

 

[Mule Packer]

I remember when I turned 55. I told my wife, "Well, I guess I'm officially old now."

She replied, "You're not old! You're middle-aged!"

I looked at her kinda funny and asked, "Middle-aged? Just exactly how many 110-year old guys do you know?"

 

[ChuckS1]

I don't feel old; that's the problem...frustrates the heck out of me that I can't do things like I could when I was 25.

 

[shouldazagged]

I'm in fact older than the Air Force !!!

I'm ten years plus a month older than the USAF. Some days I feel about ninety, and other days about thirty. I have to really watch myself on those delusional "thirty" days...

 

[LEO918]

I look in the mirror every morning and see a guy who looks like my father.

Count your blessings.
I just turned 79,cataract surgery 2weeks ago,and was blessed to be in the woods this AM for "sunrise service" (opening of turkey season).It was beautiful,saw birds and deer,but no shts,which would have ruined it.Still climbing trees deer hunting.
In my times I should have been gone for years but I guess I have some unfilled purpose He has for me.
Good luck
