get your second covid vaccine shot if you want to feel REALLY old. like 90

I had no side effects and I was actually a little disappointed. I would have liked something short and minor so I knew it was working.

I'm 57, but I feel pretty good.
I attended a friend's funeral today - nearly 2 years younger than me, total fitness fanatic, the picture of physical health, and just died of a massive stroke.
But you know, I'd rather be taken in my prime, when I still look (relatively) good and feel good, than linger on and die by inches in a nursing home.
Either way, right now, I'm glad to be alive, still able to do most of the things I love to do, and enjoy doing them!

YET,  you will continue to learn as you get older.  I don't think a person reaches their highest potential until they are old enough to know they're old...
I'm 53 and I have never felt old.
I've also never acted my age so what do I know?  :lookingup: :wink:

Feeling old is not the same thing as knowing you're old.  Here, I'll help you out:  You're 53?  You're old.  

Trevor removed his post again.  I quoted him because he quoted me.   And I am older.  I seem to be good at offending him and I was trying to be funny. I apologize Trevor

That would have been my 2nd guess, I guess!

I'm 37.  Not particularly old, per se.  But, at my job, I'm younger than the management, but like 15 years older than the rest of the staff.

I was asked what "Classic MTV" was like, and the local classic rock station plays Nirvana and Pearl Jam and I'm like "I remember that from when I was in school" and the kids are like "Wow, you're old as sh*t!"
"The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell."

Don't get too close, it's dark inside.
It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide.
