At least she carded me - self sighting

My opinion has always been that growing older is better than the alternative.

One time, an older fellow told me "Don't get old, it really sucks!"

I said, "yeah, but it sure beats the alternative."

Stan's grandfather would strongly disagree with you both on that... (cookies for reference)

Stan Helsing?

Stan Helsing?

Stan Marsh in South Park. His grandfather, Marvin Marsh. He is 102 and wants Stan to help him commit suicide, like he did with his grandfather.

Num, num, num. Thanks. I love cookies.

I apparently need to start an emergency fund for anti-aging products, or save up for a face lift.

Two Fridays ago, I wasn't carded for a daquiri. Thursday, I wasn't carded for a mudslide. Both at big name sports bars.

Wooo boy was I PISSED.

You people are all making me feel like a baby. I'm "only" 31.

I'm only 23 and get mistaken for 14.

Feel old yet?

I'm only 23 and get mistaken for 14.

Feel old yet?

24 and routinely thought to be 17-21. Occasionally under 15, and occasionally 28.

You want age related insults? Just wait till you get gray hair like me. I've been getting senior discounts, without asking, since I was 50. I figure the age insult is made up for by the discount.

My husband doesn't get senior discounts because of his almost-all-gray hair (he's 46)...but he sure hasn't been carded in decades!! Not even when we went to the (late great) Pleasure Island at Downtown Disney in Orlando, and I forgot my ID at home - 60 miles away - because I'd switched purses. He got in without a hitch, but I would have had to go without the "You're Old Enough to Drink" wristband. And I was 35!! We actually left and went back the next night...

I'm 51 and honestly never expected to ever get this old. I was just a little bit on the wild side in my youth. Back then, I did not expect to make it to 24, but if I did, then I'd make it to 40 but not beyond. I almost didn't make it to 24. I'm still surprised every morning when I wake up!
