I think you mean we are "vintage." ::)

You're "Vintage" Bob.

Us youngsters are "Classic"

My wife occasionally refers to me as a "classic," but it is generally followed by some noun. ;D

You children do prattle on. Age is just a number with little significance. Fitness is what matters more. You must excuse me, I am just going to take my dogs for a walk and then I'll go for a ride.

I Think some younger people have joined over the past few years. Many of the more senior members are way out of warranty.

I think you mean we are "vintage." ::)
Sadly Bob we very well may be. However I would prefer the term Classic!

No, it's the fact that you are 22 years old!

i may be only 22 but that is 22 years "OLD"

at least I'm old enough to know to shut up and listen and learn from others older than me. after all, thats all age is....is a series of experiences and learning the hard way...in my opinion

I recently learned I look like Baby Huey in baggy jeans.

Please tell me that's loaded.



Here.  I'll help you steady that.
Now just squeeze slowly...

"Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited
about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!"

You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on
five! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You  jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16!

And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the
words sound like a ceremony . . . YOU BECOME 21. . . YEAS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED, we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.

Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 . . . and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a
day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime.

And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I was JUST 92." Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!"

About the age thing, I hate getting aah "Infirm", so many things I used to able to do without thinking about them and now being slightly afraid of doing other things because I might hurt myself and cause problems for the family, But and I say but if I had to go back and be a teenager again, I'd open a vein or take poison, smoke a shotgun, build a suit with 25 sticks of stumping powder have my own fire works display you get the idea. So each to their own age.
