Ugh. I don't want to be old.

Ugh. I don't want to be old.
I have always felt OK about my age, whatever it is. I remember when I turned 40 thinking how odd it seemed - it didn't bother me, but it did seem like it was someone else I was talking about when I said "40 years old". Now, my 50th birthday looms on the horizon, and I feel much the same way. More disbelief than anything.
I'm 59 and retired. I wouldn't mind being old except it hurts.
Heh, I think George Burns favorite line was: If I wake up in the morning and nothing hurts, I must be dead.

I'm sorry Khan....I'm 59 and retired. I wouldn't mind being old except it hurts.
I don't really mind my job, nice people, no stress, easy work and pays really well. I will probably get a nice bonus and raise this month then next month 15% profit sharing.
I was born in 1948 and would have loved to be born in 1945 or so.
I would like to feel younger.
Isn't there medication for that?
Starting a little early...aren't ya...?Do I really need to respond?
...I want to live for another 30-40 years and enjoy my retirement but many people do not get that chance. This is one of the best reasons that I can think of to retire early.
Hey...now wait a minute. You told me a while back we would still be considered hot tamales in Florida when we were in our 80s!
