Just realized that I am one year older than what this guy was when he played Gurney Halleck in the 1984 version of Dune.



There's some grey starting to creep in on the sides and in the stasch and the coverage is starting to receed a bit but I still don't look as old as Patrick did in this film.
God of making the characteristic which becomes dirty sends the hurricane.

Don't remind me.  I turn 41 in a few days.

Remember it is just a number. I didn't get married until I was 38, learn to drive until 42 and had my first child at 43.

I wish I could go back to my 40s! In some ways the 40s are sort of your prime: you've got the perfect mix of experience and your energy levels haven't started to decline too much.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

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'll be 59 in August.
Considering how much abuse I have caused to my self, I'm glad to be alive.  :thumbup:

But actually, you mellow with it. It never freaked me out. I am GLAD that I'm getting old! The only alternative to getting older is dying!

I started hearing songs from the 2000's on the classic rock station at work. :buggedout:

I've got 3 years left then.  :smile:

Always felt like I have an old soul. I usually get along better with people older than me than I do with people younger than me. My last three serious relationships, the women have been older than me, so I must like older women. Most people think I'm younger than I really am, so I don't know. I feel old sometimes, but as has been said, you can learn new stuff almost everyday, so I suppose it beats the alternative.

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.

I reckon we're all old compared to moths. They live only about 12 months max.
They must think we're immortal.
