ajzepp Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yeah - the knees will go. Mine went early from years of playing hoops for hours on end (although a large part is probably just genetic) - I'm 43 and have had both knees replaced (at 41 and 42). As if having knee replacements didn't make me feel old enough, when I went to physical therapy I worked with a woman there who was wearing a name tag that said her name was Jennifer Grey so I made a crack about "nobody putting baby in a corner' - she just looked at me like she had heard it before but didn't really get the reference, so I had to explain it. It was then that I realized that this girl wasn't even born when Dirty Dancing came out - she had no clue who Jennifer Grey was besides some woman on Dancing with the Stars - then I felt REALLY old..... I think if it were me, it wouldn't be so much that I was feeling old that bothered me, but the fact that I was actually able to quote something from Dirty Dancing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That movie was 1987! Not a favorite of mine, but seriously, how do you not know that reference....unless you were's born then....... At work they just hired 3 new kids just out of college - literally half my age. I am refraining from making any refernces to classic movies like Airplane! (1980) for fear that I'll get blank looks in return... Just saw where Sub Pop Records got a letter from a girl at University of Virginia asking if they could get Nirvana to make an appearance in a school promotional video - kids these days....God, I'm old...

rockpile Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 getting old sucks, but **consider the alternative**. That is the way I look at it; celebrate every day! My oldest GRANDDAUGHTER starts college this fall. Youngest grandson is one year old. I was born the same year that Playboy was published with a nude centerfold of Maryn Monroe.

Gordio Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) My wife's little cousin who when we first got married was probably 4-5 years old used to sleep over our house all the time. Her parents were going thru a bad divorce & I mean she would literally live with us on the weekends. I would take her out for ice cream, take her to the movies & such. It was almost like she was a weekend daughter for me for a few year. I have not seen that much of her in the last 5-6 years but last weekend she called my wife & ask if her & her friends could spend the day Saturday over our house to use our pool. My wife said sure Well she is going to be a senior this year in high school & 4 of her friends came over & one was hotter then the next & they were all wearing bikinnis. I felt like the biggest pervert in the world. I had to get out of the house because I could not stop staring at them. They sure did not buld girls like that when I was in high school.

Funny you memtion the fast car. I have been toying around the last 6 months or so & debating on whether to pull the trigger on buying a corvette. I used to own one when I was in my late 20s. I would have a tough time affording a brand new one but I was looking at 2007-2008's maybe. They are not too expensive. The kicker is if I do decide to do this I am not even going to tell my wife about it, I am just going to bring it home(have it delivered one day) so she does not have a chance to sh*t can the idea.

I was at a birthday party for a 1 year old this weekend and the kid's great grandmother was there.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) BS, my youngest was born on my 40th. The absolute best birthday present a guy could hope for. 40 is now considered not that old, especially for a guy... Heck, 30 years ago I remember how shocked my family was when my aunt had a my cousin in her late 30's! Now, it is a little bit different, but females still have the clock working against them. Not the guys. Our second child was @ 35. 40 is still 25 years from retirement. Bowery will be fine, he's got a younger lady! You go Bowery! ;-) On that note... My uncle is younger than his nephew! Figure that one out. Hint: My aunt (father's older sister) was having a child (my cousin) while her mother (my grandmother, in her 40's) was also having a child (my uncle).

bowery4 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 My granddad got married when he was 45 to a 23 year old and they had 9 kids, he was born in the 1890s and lived 91 years (his wife died at 65, I think, before him in any case) he was a carpenter (house builder) and I remember him putting a roof on my parents house when he was almost 90 (3 floor house) carrying shingles on his shoulder like it was nothing.I am hoping I have his genes but don't want anymore kids to be honest. My Dad died in his early 60s and my Mom in her early 70s. Kids do stress you out (they had 5 and my Dad was a stressed person), I felt young (and looked pretty young my whole life) well into my 40s but time is definitely catching up, we will see.
