Who's the oldest here?
James's thread got me thinking... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/1089028-getting-old-sucks.html
Some years ago, I forget his name but a member here said he was well into his 80s. I'm 56, I still feel good but time is creeping up on me. - Meanwhile I seem to be going to a lot of funerals lately. (Average about one a month) And a close friend just go diagnosed with terminal Pancreatic cancer. It's like an ever present reminder.

Going to more funerals now, and very few weddings is a sign of getting old.

73 y/o.
Still give the '82 a rip now & then. Not brave enough to get to the top of 3rd gear in the '15. But the A/C works just dandy. |

I'm sixty two but have the mental capacity of an eight year old. So I float somewhere in between.

Just turned 47, my oldest heads off to college in the fall so that’s making me feel older than my age.

Born on the 6th of November, 1943. But if that makes me the oldest, somebody must have died...

54 this year. Don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs but got a bad ticker. After the up coming heart procedure, I'm going to light up a cigarette, stick a bunch of coke up my nose, drink a bottle of Scotch and smoke and ounce of weed......coz not doin' it hasn't done a damn thing!!

70. You know when you are getting old when the phone numbers of doctors start to outnumber the phone numbers of friends.

67 in a couple of months. Very lucky in all ways. I try to learn a new (old) song every couple of weeks and do a two hour set with nothing but the set list.
