[In_The_Wind]

66. Is that you Peter Pan?

[Art_from_Ark]

120. I think I might be Peter Pan

But I'm lacking the thing that's a positive must...(which) is a little bit of pixie dust. The dust is a positive must...

[OriginalGeek]

19. Over?

I don't even remember 35.







which means I did it right.

[In_The_Wind]

[Ptah]

21. 62 here.

[BillStein]

28. 62?

That's old, at least for two more weeks.... then it's middle aged

[In_The_Wind]

68. I turned 62 1,000 away from home.

How did we get this old?
I didn't expect to make it past 30.

[bigwillq]

22. 35!

[In_The_Wind]

69. You have so much to look forward to.

[olddots]

23. I'm 65

anyone want to go to the early bird special at Denny's ?

[Wait Wut]

75. I'm 48

[LadyHawkAZ]

27. So that makes you 29?

What a coincidence! That's how old I am too!

[In_The_Wind]

74. Always and forever young!

[Orrex]

177. What is that cat seing that has it so spooked?!?

[BillStein]

29. Remember when Jack Benny said he was 39...

... and we wondered why he wanted people to think he was that old?

[In_The_Wind]

77. 39 seemed ancient then.

[Jeff R]

30. Yup

Just checking in...

Remember the days "Don't trust any one over 30"

Now well I'll keep that thought to myself...

[Art_from_Ark]

45. Yeah, that's probably why the Beatles broke up in 1970

They started turning 30 and didn't trust each other anymore.

That's my theory, and I'm sticking with it until something better comes along

[In_The_Wind]

78. I remember thinking ... now what

no one is going to trust me now

[olddots]

31. I'm so old I'm checking in twice

[In_The_Wind]

79. olddots

[Wounded Bear]

32. Me, me, me!

What? Too much youthful exuberance?

60.

[In_The_Wind]

80. I was still bouncy at 60.

[Callmecrazy]

33. forty seven

and feeling it.

[In_The_Wind]

81. Enjoy it!

57 will hurt more. You're going to ask yourself ... where did that boo-boo-ouch come from. Like when someone dropped a hammer on your toe the one day your steel-toe boots were in the repair shop.

[irisblue]

34. Hi! 56 and happy

[In_The_Wind]

82. Glad to hear it.

[Moondog]

35. The mirror tells me that this call includes me.

I still wonder, when I am trying to shave, who the hell that old fart is that is staring back at me in the mirror.

Still. Every day I wake up and am still above the grass is a good day.

[In_The_Wind]

83. Wishing you many many more mornings greeting that old fart with a razor shaving your face.

Even better, remembering who that guy in the mirror is.

[Moondog]

94. Heh. Thanks.

[nolabear]

36. Just hobblin' over to the davenport with mah tea.

Actually I'm stretched out on the sofa having a martini. Old age ain't for sissies.

[In_The_Wind]

84. "Old age ain't for sissies."

That's the truth! [img][/img]

[femmocrat]

37. The question is....

Are there any Loungers under the age of 35?

What young'uns would want to hang out with us geezers!!!

[nomorenomore08]

46. Heh...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018395426

[In_The_Wind]

85. Nice! I'm a fun old geezer TYVM!

Or I was before I started feeling old.

[Paulie]

38. The 20th century

those were the days... before the WWWeb. And that fangled transistor thingie... who knew?

[In_The_Wind]

86. I 'chat' with so many more folks since I turned on to the web.

Talk about shy Believe it or not I was

[GReedDiamond]

39. I'll be 39 next Jan 1...

...for the 20th year running.

[In_The_Wind]

87. But do you feel everyone of those 39 years ...

like Feb 2nd

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. Checking in!

I'll be 70 in November...

I don't know whether to or

[In_The_Wind]

88. I'll be happy to celebrate with you in November Peggy!

[Generic Brad]

41. This may surpass the thread that never dies for a thread count

There are a lot of us on DU.

[In_The_Wind]

89. When I jountd DU, I thought I was one of the few old DUers.

[Rhiannon12866]

43. Present!

And we vote!

[In_The_Wind]

90. We vote and there are lots of us with plenty of time to get-out-and-vote.

Glad you were here when I needed an escort through the 700 club!

[Rhiannon12866]

121. Awwwwwww! Would you have trusted me if you'd known I was so old?

[Tabasco_Dave]

44. 45

Like the record and the gun.

[In_The_Wind]

107. Both are to be respected.

[PuffedMica]

155. Which gun?

[SwissTony]

57. 62 and just back from holidays in Jordan.

Beautiful country. Wonderful, warm, friendly people.

Tired. But happy.

[In_The_Wind]

108. Welcome home.

I've never been there. Sounds nice.

[DFW]

61. I was 35 once

Dinosaurs roamed the earth once, too.

I don't recall which happened first.

[In_The_Wind]

109. You are way too hard on yourself.

[blondie58]

62. I am here and I don't feel this number

But this year on my birthday in October, I will officially qualify for the senior discount at ARC thrift store- hey, there are some real treasures there!

[In_The_Wind]

110. I'll be 65 on my next birthday.

I love browsing second hand stores.

[Rowdyboy]

63. 59 and feeling it after weeding a 30 foot bed today....Mississippi is alot like a rainforest where

weeds are concerned. They are ever present and can take control before you even start to worry.

[In_The_Wind]

111. I thought Mississippi was beautiful when I was there. Very lush. Very green.

A 30 foot bed is no small chore.

[7wo7rees]

64. I've been 23 for 23 years now.

Life is brilliant.

[In_The_Wind]

113. Sounds wonderful!

[hrmjustin]

76. I will be 35 in Sept.

[BainsBane]

91. That helps explain why you're so sweet

The years haven't made you bitter and cynical.

[hrmjustin]

96. Lol I hope I am always polite but in the pastweek or so I have had a few words with some posters.

[BainsBane]

98. I have no doubt they were deserved

[hrmjustin]

99. Most of them were but one in the host forum I wish I did not go hard against. Turned out to be a

mistake. As for the others I don't like bullies.

[BainsBane]

100. Can I ask how you're doing?

I've heard of the rise of hate crime in NY. Do you feel safe? I don't know if it's just in Manhattan or all over.

[hrmjustin]

101. Just Manhattan for the immediate rise in hate crimes. I live in a nice are called Bay Ridge Brooklyn

and we don't get the crime that other parts of the city gets. I will say it is a bit scary to walk in the village at night. But I am usually in groups of 4 or 5 people.

[BainsBane]

102. Okay, just so you stay safe

We can't afford to have anything happen to you.

[hrmjustin]

103. Thanks I will be fine!

[IrishEyes]

169. I just moved from Bay Ridge Brooklyn last month

I usually felt safe but it did kind of feel a little scary at night when I walked home from the subway alone after the stores had closed. It is safer than lots of other neighborhoods because it is mostly older folks that have been there for years and families. It is a nice area but I longer train ride on the subway from Manhattan. You can get a reasonably priced, by new york city standards, apartment there. I miss Bay Ridge, there were a lot of nice stores and restaurants there.

[hrmjustin]

172. The train rides at night are a pain but it is a great area to live.

[In_The_Wind]

115. We should throw you a party!

[hrmjustin]

117. LOL my friend! I love it!

I do not have a license but I should get one to scare people.

[Anymouse]

92. Birthday this week, and maybe a haircut (gasp)

And I will turn fifty-three.

Yet I still haven't cut my hair since I left the Navy in 1996.

I did offer a compromise to my fellow conservative village board members on that one though: the village of Broadwater's annual town party comes up right after my birthday. I offered to have the barber in Bridgeport come over during the dance at the community centre, and for every fifty dollars raised in support of village Friends of the Library, I would have him cut one inch off it.

My hair goes down to my waist . . . if they want to see me in a Navy haircut (that is as short as I will go), it will cost the village about a thousand dollars to do it.

The local gun shop owner (who supports the library and hates my hair) offered to put up the whole amount himself. - James, in Wyobraska.

[In_The_Wind]

93. While I support a man's right to wear long hair, a cut sounds worth it this time.

[LWolf]

95. 53.

[love_katz]

106. Checking in...

58.

Hi, LWolf.

[LWolf]

130. Hi!

[In_The_Wind]

116. You're a young pup.

[LWolf]

129. .

[one_voice]

97. I graduated from...

high school in 1985. My youngest has a semester left and he will graduate from college with his bachelors degree. My daughter has her masters degree.

I'm 35'ish.

[Aristus]

104. You look pretty good!

And you pack quite a punch. Remind me to stay on your good side...

[one_voice]

122. Thank you!...

that's very kind of you to say.

You're far too sweet to get on my bad side.

[In_The_Wind]

132. With the way you work out, you'll be around for a long time.

[TexasTowelie]

105. I'll be 48 in a couple of weeks.

I weigh the same as when I graduated from college and my hair is still brown so I guess I'm holding up okay.

[In_The_Wind]

133. I loved being 48.

[img][/img]

[mucifer]

168. I'll be 48 in a few month.

[TexasTowelie]

171. It's my birthday today so thank you!

The afternoon 4:20 is coming soon so it is time to scrape together some catnip!

[trof]

112. Twice 35 and then some.

So?

[In_The_Wind]

134. Lots of memories!

[Bertha Venation]

114. 50 here. n/t

[In_The_Wind]

135. 50 was fun.

60 made me wonder if I was getting old.

[benld74]

119. Fity-stevn here fity-stevn

[In_The_Wind]

137. A few more years before you'll be old.

[mwdem]

123. 62....

Where did the time go? I swear I was just 25 yesterday!

[In_The_Wind]

138. almost 65

I ask myself ... How did this happen [img][/img]

[sheshe2]

124. Checking in~

In will be 61 later this year, yikes.

As Time Goes By

Hi, In_The_Wind

[In_The_Wind]

139. Nice to see you again ~ sheshe2

[sheshe2]

140. Morning, In_The_Wind~

Back at you.

[susanr516]

125. I can barely remember being 35!

That was almost a quarter-century ago, after all.

[In_The_Wind]

142. I remember 40.

That was a quarter of a century ago. [img][/img]

[Hangingon]

182. 35 was half a lifetime ago

Where on the coast?

[susanr516]

183. Corpus Christi

It was so hot and humid today one of my cats stretched out in our birdbath to cool off.

[Hangingon]

188. Over in Rockport

Pretty hot here too. Could really use a good rain.

[susanr516]

189. Howdy, neighbor!

Did you make it over to the Shrimporee this weekend? The Spasmatics are playing this afternoon, but I'm babysitting my grandson today.

[Hangingon]

190. Didn't make the Shrimporee

Busy with church stuff. Getting ready for all the grand kids to come down/over in a week and a half. Bo baby sitting with them. All teens. Have fun with your grandson!

[applegrove]

126. 35 seems like a lifetime ago.

[In_The_Wind]

143. And a whole bunch of good cups of tea.

[Tom Kitten]

127. Three different people recently asked me my age...

...these were in different circumstances...I replied to each "take a guess" and I swear each said 38! And I said "close enough"... Which is astonishing unless you know I've been drinking tea from the sacred tana leaves...

[In_The_Wind]

144. So, I'm going to guess 40 ...

Where does one purchase sacred tana leaves...

[Manifestor_of_Light]

128. Pulling a Jack Benny--39 and holding on REAL TIGHTLY!!

No wrinkles, no arthritis. Lots of curly mostly gray hair. Nothing wrong that will kill me soon. Life is good.

Had my 40th high school reunion last year. I graduated a year early at 17 and 2 months.

Math geniuses can figure out my age and the month of my birthday too. We go through another lifetime each decade. Thirty five was a few decades ago.

[In_The_Wind]

145. I like that thought "We go through another lifetime each decade."

[rppper]

131. 46 and counting here...

Working on getting myself on a healthier plane this year....

[In_The_Wind]

146. Getting on a healthier plane is an excellent idea for all of us.

[rppper]

153. I had a heart attack on Feb.28,2008....

.....you never forget the date.....I was pushing 300lbs on a 6-2 frame and had diabetes(unbeknownst to me) at the time....I got to 215lbs but I've settled in at 235....aiming for 220....my last weight in the navy....cutting out all sugars and a considerably healthier diet have helped. Working as an EEG/PSG tech has helped keep me honest about it....the doctors i work under always notice!

[pinboy3niner]

141. So ITW is "more than 28"?

From now on, I'll always think of you as 29.

[In_The_Wind]

147. Thank you pinboy3niner.

[MrScorpio]

148. YO!

[In_The_Wind]

149. Really? I thought you were still a young one.

I know you are young at heart.

[MrScorpio]

150. I'm going to be 52 in October

I've been around for awhile

[In_The_Wind]

151. I would not have guessed 52.

I remember meeting you in DC.

[av8rdave]

152. I turned 55 a couple weeks ago

I might be too old for this thread.

[In_The_Wind]

158. You're 9 years and a few months younger than the person who started this thread.

[img][/img]

[a la izquierda]

154. I'm in the Wednesday evening of my 30s...

I will be 36 in August.

[In_The_Wind]

159. Oh, poor baby!

[img][/img]

[a la izquierda]

160. Hah, it doesn't bother me at all.

I am just starting my career, I am in better shape than I was in my 20s, and my husband can open his company soon. Life is good

[In_The_Wind]

161. That is all wonderful news!

[Bucky]

156. One side, sonnyboy, here's a 49 year old waddling in.

And you punks get offa my lawn.

[In_The_Wind]

157. I thought you were 39.

[libodem]

162. Checking in

58, here.

[In_The_Wind]

164. We old timers gotta stick together.

[libodem]

166. Yes we do

Cute card.

[In_The_Wind]

167. Glad you liked it. I'm always asking: excuse me, please say that again.

I've finally grown up.
Today I posted my very first GD thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022969983
Cause I remember being bullied when I was in elementary school.

[marzipanni]

163. 35? Heh, I'll be 2x that in 7 1/2 years.

Should we have our own "'old' crony" forum on DU? ....Oh!...*duh!* I just found that we have TWO!


Baby Boomers- http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1181
Seniors- http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1183

[In_The_Wind]

165. It's party time!

[AsahinaKimi]

170. Is in the ball park

[In_The_Wind]

178. It's fun!

[burnodo]

173. Ahhh 35...I was...

OH CRAP! THAT WAS 2003!

Seems like a lifetime ago. Hell, that was the year I quit smoking, lost 50 pounds, and found Bob Marley. Wow.

[marzipanni]

174. Yah, or should I say YAY, mon!

That's all good... may you keep on trucking for many years!

[In_The_Wind]

179. Hello ~ burnodo. 35 sounds like a wonderful year for you.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

The past 10 years seems to be moving at warp speed for me.

Do you still listen to Bob Marley? I do!

[Blue_In_AK]

175. 66

[In_The_Wind]

180. I'll be 65 in August.

[img][/img]

[rurallib]

176. right here good friend

[In_The_Wind]

181. We are aging well my friend. It's really good to see you here!

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Have some coffee with your donut. [img][/img]

[nomorenomore08]

184. Why do people keep bumping this? Just to show my thread up some more?

[In_The_Wind]

185. Cause we are a bunch of older DUers.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[nomorenomore08]

186. Yeah, I figured as much. The contrasting threads just confirm how outnumbered my age group is.

[In_The_Wind]

187. When I joined DU it felt like I was the only one over 50.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]
