    Old? I don't feel old, but will admit to not being able to get off the floor without some strange groan emitting from my body.

    Give it a little while and you will be to the point where you won't be able to get off the floor without some to help you leverage up. I tell people who ask me how I am able to get down on the floor to work on their machine that the getting down is not a problem. The getting back up is the problem.

    I don't need party drugs, just getting up off the floor too quickly is enough to set my head spinning!

    ...reading through a thread like this sees you nodding in agreement !



    I am 38...and I have this to add:


    The music you listen to, the car you aspire to drive, the clothing style you choose...they are all at least ten years old. You refuse to develop further in any of those or other fields...feeling confident that you have found your shelf and don't need upgrading.


    2013 will be remembered as the year I became "old" !

    The clothes you were may be a decade old style...but in 10 years they'll be all the rage again....

    I always referred to it as CRAFT disease (Can't Remember A Fucking Thing). Early onset CRAFT disease is a real pain as well.

    It started with the eyes about 10 years ago, but now it's the knees. 2 scopes on the left knee, and I just blew out the right knee this last weekend, doc appointment tomorrow. I'm sensing another "procedure" in my future. Enjoy your youth while you can.....

    I'm with you Debs, it's called the "Peter Pan" principle. On the other hand, I knew I was old more than 20 years ago.

    I keep seeing people complaining about being old when they're in their 30's, you're only as old as you feel, I can barely remember my 30's, but I feel younger, fitter and healthier than I've ever done before, so age is just a number, and an irrelevent one at that.
    The only times I feel my age are when getting up off the floor, I used to be able to do it in a single leap, and when I listen to modern "music" LOL
