In 27 days, I turn 60. Then I will then be, officially, an old man.

[DemoTex]

How should I deal with it? How should I comport myself after 60? I just joined AARP. I've got prune juice in the refrige. I gag down a big glass of Metamucil every morning. I have a vial of Viagra with cobwebs on it. The KY is dry in the old tube. I drive my Prius like Mr. McGoo. I hate loud music, barky dogs, and my neighbor's kids (and I hate them, too .. R/W Gen-Xers!). I don't pick up my dog's poop anymore (UP your's too, asshole! Do the squirrels pick up their poop!). I live in the past .. mostly Viet Nam. I yell at ... WAIT! HELL! I'm John McCain!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear DemoTex!

You should comport yourself just the way you always have!

I'm 64, and I've never acted my age, never!

Happy early Birthday, sweetie!

Relax, and enjoy yourself, OK?

:hug:

2. Buy a Decathlon and fly upside down.

[DemoTex]

6. HA! I used to instruct aerobatics in a Decathlon!

That was a great aerobatic basic trainer! Great roll rate. I did my advanced instruction in a Pitts S-2.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Then you need to do it some more!

I did a little of that in a Citabria a few years ago. Wish I could still afford to fly for fun. I will be your age in another year, so I guess I'd better either stock up on prune juice or buy an airplane.

Nothing like a few snap rolls to restore your youth.

[Haole Girl]

3. Hahahahahaha!!

That was so funny!! Hey-- you have your sense of humor still. That's a hell of a lot more than most people have!! :hug:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[mzteris]

4. they say -

you're as old as you feel.

So come on up and see me and I'll let you know how old you feel!!

;)

[DemoTex]

9. Mae West? Is that you?

Bwaaaa Haaa Haaa!

[mzteris]

12. mmmmmmmmm

not nearly as curvy, but

definitely as pervy!

[Dave_Fl_50]

5. Thanks for letting me know what to expect. I'm 50 and so far

I've joined AARP, I hate loud music, barky dogs and my neighbors kids and I can mostly only remember the long past. So far I have Cranberry juice in the fridge but no Prune Juice.

Did you know Metamucil makes cookies? They're much better than drinking a glass of that crap.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

8. If it makes ya feel better, I've ALWAYS considered you old.

Just kidding, of course.

I have eight years to go, but I'm already getting Senior Discounts from the young shits at the local restaurants. (Something I don't bother correcting.)

My advice is to kick back and enjoy the perks- no doubt you've earned 'em.

And get rid of the prune juice. What are you- old or something?

:toast:

[CreekDog]

10. Happy birthday Mr. Tex

and remember 60 is the new letter M.

[Extend a Hand]

11. nah, 60 is the new 40

;)

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. I am about 16 months behind you.

Think of the discounts you'll get.

I still refuse to join AARP. A friend sends their mail back telling them not to harass her.

:hi:

[DemoTex]

15. I quit AARP a few years back, for political reasons that I cannot remember.

I re-joined last week to save a buck on a rent-car in Europe in May. I-B-Bad!

[WinkyDink]

21. Their endorsement of the revised Medicare bill.

[Skittles]

14. I KNEW YOU WERE AN ARIES

US RAMS RAWWWWWWK....my bd is in 26 days :D AND 60 IS NOT OLD!!! 15 years older than your current age - that is old. :D

[DemoTex]

17. Damn! Like I said ..

Meant for each other! Lawdy!

[Skittles]

25. DemoTex: my virtual love

yes INDEED!!! :D

HA - I've dated military pilots - funny how I would never let them DRIVE MY CAR!!! :D

[graywarrior]

16. 60 ain't old

It better not be.

[Blue_In_AK]

18. 60 isn't old.

I'm 61 and I feel better than I did when I was 40. My life was a shambles for so many years, and now I've FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT. Being 60 ROCKS.

[WinkyDink]

19. No, you're ME! And I'm not 60 (yet!)! But seriously---isn't the phrase "barky dogs" a charming one?

I use it, too, in the very same context of neighbors!

[Aristus]

20. Relax, Mac. You're as old as you feel.

On second thought, don't relax. If you feel like John McCain, then you're over 70!.

Old age doesn't have to be bad. Look at Helen Mirren. She's still smokin' hot at 63. :wow:

[Shakespeare]

22. You REALLY need to get laid.

;-)

It'll make you feel younger!! :7

[DemoTex]

42. Bwaa haa haa haa!

10-4

[Hand]

23. Insh'Allah. nt

[Fox Mulder]

24. I'll be turning 26 in less than two months...

and I'm kind of freaking out because I think I'm getting old.

[Skittles]

26. I WILL KICK YOUR 26-YEAR OLD ASS!!!

:D

[Fox Mulder]

27. I'm sure you could!

:D

[monmouth]

28. Dear Demo...It only gets better, it is the new 40...

[applegrove]

29. 60 is the new 40. So relax.

[trof]

30. You have to get yer ass down to Walmart. You'll need:

1 baseball cap.
If you don't have one that shows your old military unit, then get one with a commercial truck logo (Mack, Peterbilt, etc.) or your favorite car, NASCAR driver (name and/or number), beer, or Harley Davidson will do too.
1 VERY LOUD Aloha shirt. Size XXXXL.
Alternate: T shirt with your branch of service emblem.
1 pair plaid Bermudas.
(Extra points if you have a big gut and your 'waistline' is way south of your navel.)
1 white patent leather belt. At least 2" wide.
1 pair wide red suspenders.
1 pair black, nylon socks.
(Extra points: Roll the socks down to just above the ankles.)
1 pair gummy-bear looking clear plastic day-glo sandals. Your choice of color, but 'survival orange' is most popular.

This is your geezer outfit.
You're good to go.
Go find a comfortable seat on one of the benches out front.
Bring a gallon size slurpee cup of Coke.
Have a smoke.
Watch the pretty girls in tank tops and short shorts.
Talk about how things were in 'your day'.

Welcome to the group and congratulations from one geezer to another.
:hi:

[Bucky]

31. She us young punks get off your lawn now?

At 44, I never pass up a chance to refer to myself as a young punk.

[trof]

32. Yes, she should.

;-)

[Bucky]

33. What the-- ? Lordy I suck at typing

I should go vote now or something.

[edbermac]

34. Do you get a senior discount for lap dances?

:7

[trof]

35. No. Seniors don't usually have laps.

:rofl:

[Rosemary2205]

36. You are required to buy a Mercury Marquis and take a cruise.

:)

[TheCentepedeShoes]

37. I'll be joining you in the summer

Trust me, you're in good DU company.
And hey... the '60's...what better time was (is) that???
:toast:

[LuckyLib]

38. I'm headed there in September. But, as Gertrude Stein wrote, "We are always the same age inside."

No prune juice, metamucil in capsule form (it lowers cholesteral), get pissed at crying children in public places (blame their clueless parents), and get irritated by the incredibly poor service everywhere in our society, especially a "Yup" response to "thank you."

[Gormy Cuss]

39. Be sure to bathe every day.

Otherwise you'll become a dirty old man.

[DemoTex]

40. Napoleon once wrote Josephine from one of his campaigns ..

Dear Josephine,
I will be home in two weeks. Don't bathe!
Napi

Told to me by a dermatologist.

[FloridaJudy]

41. I turned 61 on Sunday

I celebrated by buying a bottle of "Manic Panic" hair color in magenta. That's right, magenta, not Little Old Lady blue. Why should teenagers have all the fun?
