Turning 50

[DragonGunner]

I wasn't going to put that on this site. I've got a full-time moderator clamped on my posterior.

I nearly laughed myself off the couch on that one.

I turned 50 2 yrs. ago....Told my Mom I was getting old, feelings aches, napping more, can't get going like I use too.....then realized I was telling this to my Mom. I stopped talking and she just said......"Wait till ya hit 80.....LOL.

I'm going to be 50 in 6 days

Already I received my first mailing from AARP. I went to Wendy's and there was a elderly gentlemen ahead of me that received a senior citizens discount. When my turn came up the cashier jokingly said and I quote "don't worry hun, you can have a senior citizen discount too". WTF... LOL, I went along with it but damn her! LOL.

Question is, where in the heck did the last twenty years go! Kind of cool to think it won't be but another 12 to 15 years and I can retire (hopefully unless the liberals screw that up).

50, damn that's old! You'll be getting your Viagra cut into 1/6ths so you won't tinkle on your slippers.

53 here. Still too busy to have a mid-life crisis.

In addition to the offer of an AARP card you get to schedule your roto rooter exam.

Congratulations! I turned 50 a year and a half ago. It still feels weird.

When the colonoscopy stops feeling wierd you is when you need to worry.

Hah, I started thinking about it when I was 50 because of all the talk and finally had one at 55. The doc asked me why I was getting one since I didn't have a history of it in my family.

Turning 60 in June and my new mid life crisis is getting laid off last week and hoping at my age I can get a decent job.

When I turned 50 four years ago my birthday present to myself was a seminar with Tom Sotis, which turned out to be a great weekend. I had about 40 bruises when I was done, and was pretty much hooked on combatives. Joined the Central Texas Combatives Training Group CTCTG or CTCTG) and learned more about fightin' and rasslin' and shootin' and knifin' than the previous 50 years put together, including 22 in the military, plus met a great group of guys.

Figure something out you've been putting off, and do it. Tell your wife it is either that or the new Corvette.

Happy Birthday!

In April, I'll be celebrating the 3rd anniversary of my 50th birthday. I don't really think of myself of being that old until I look in the mirror, and for a split second, I think my dad is starring back at me. Or I go to bend my knees and they don't want to do that anymore....Or I go to do something and I.......................I forgot.

2 rules for life over 50

Never trust a fart.
Urinate every chance you get.

This is true wisdom, unfortunately. Keep ibuprofen handy in your medicine cabinet. gym bag. glove box. overnight bag. pocket...

 

[straight-shooter]

I know all too much about the Ibuprofen. I drive a flatbed semi with a moffet attached (forklift). This part of the job is a breeze for the most part delivering drywall and lumber. It's on the days when the delivery box truck needs help and I get to deliver full house packages of huge refrigerators, top and front load washer & dryers, ranges and so on. Amazing the amount of people who have upstairs laundry rooms and of course downstairs. Appliance days tend to make me feel my real age.

Remember.......
Life's like a roll of toilet paper.
The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.

I'm in my late 50's, and have been feeling old since people started calling me "sir", LONG before I hit 50.

 

[IndyGal65]

I'll be there in less than 14 months. As long as my eyes open every morning, life is good.

 

[perry]

I am Perry IV. None of the other Perry's have lived to 50 with dad being the closest at 48. I figure I'll be doing good to make it to 45 (35 now) and the rest is just gravy. That's part of why I don't want kids.......

Imagine being 51...with an 11 year old son!

Absolutely, because contrary to popular opinion, farts DO NOT have lumps.

How 'bout 52 with three kids daughter 13, daughter 11, and 9 year old son. I'm still trying to figure out what 50 is supposed to feel like.

Keeps us young! lol

 

[Redtbird]

I'm now at the age where I can still get down... I just need help getting back up!

It's funny. When I was 20, I could tell you how a 67 year old person was supposed to act. Now that I am 67, I realize I was completely wrong!

 

[Miles42]

50 seems like so long ago.
