Quoth Pixelated View PostI'm still waiting for somebody to tell me where the last sixty-two years went ...
Happy Birthday!
Quoth Victory Sabre View Post44, and get off my lawn, you young whippersnapper.
OH And I DO get to use that (dumbass) phrase because I live across the street from a high school. I have had to shooo a group of students away from my pine tree because they thought it was interesting. Tree is about 2 feet away from my house .
AND middle age IS really only a state of mind. YES DAMN it is true. HELL my parents in their 60's were more active than a LOT of 40-somethings. Heck my motto at work (Pizza Delivery) is " Kick ass and take names THEN run circles around the 20-somethings and make them look like idiots".I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

Quoth drunkenwildmage View PostSo at this point, you will need to be thinking about scheduling your mid-life crisis.
In another year and 5 months, I'll be eligible for my very own AARP card!
And my 30th HS reunion will be sometime next year . . . hopefully nobody will find me. Not interested in seeing who's still living, who's dead, who's divorced, who's pulling time, etc.
But one quick question: have you been given your official Middle Aged Glasses (ie, Bifocals) yet?Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

No mid-life crisis, and I've been wearing glasses since I was a kid so bifocals wouldn't bother me. Given my Swiss-cheesed memory I wouldn't remember anyone from school so a reunion would be pretty pointless anyway."It is traditional when asking for help or advice to listen to the answers you receive" - RealUnimportant

I hit the bifocal glasses about 25+ years ago in my early 30'sI'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

The last time I went to the Eye doctor, they threaten me with them.. but no, I got away without needing them, so far. (for the record, I just turned 45)Just sliding down the razor blade of life.

Quoth Racket_Man View PostI ain't that far behind ya (57) and YES I said the same thing after realizing my 40th Year High School annivercery (not sure if there is going to be a reunion yet) is ONE YEAR AWAY. OH the things we have seen in those years -- space, computers, phones, Facebook (), medicine, etc.

But I do agree Racket_Man, about age being largely a state of mind. You know the only times I feel old? When I think of how old my brother and sister are ... and they are both younger than me!
I can tell you it does help to work with younger people. I didn't socialize with them (hitting the Detroit bars not being my "thing" ...) but it was great having them around.
Quoth Mental_Mouse View PostI just hit 50... my Mom bullied me into joining the local senior center...

I lost track 99% of my high school class decades ago. Haven't got any real interest in meeting up with them again.
I've worn glasses since I was in my teens. IIRC, I'm now into "multifocal" or whatever they're called ... let's just say I put my glasses on the minute I get out of bed and don't take them off until I got back to bed. (Staff member when I went to renew driver's licence: "Do you need to wear glasses while driving?" Um ... unless you want me mowing down hordes of pedestrians and making a drive-through at a restaurant that didn't have one ... yes, I do.)

Quoth Mental_Mouse View Post*snip* Note: If you tell the opticians that you spend most of your time at the computer, they will prescribe your reading glasses with an appropriate focus distance for that, rather than for books.Last edited by Pixelated; 10-11-2017, 12:13 AM.Customer service: More efficient than a Dementor's kiss
