According to my license I'm 35, according to the way my body acts, I'm just a bowl of rice crispies.

A bit over half your age and my knees hurt just looking at that pic, but it looks like a good time all the same.
/trivia: the first radio episode of the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy aired the day after I was born. I don't remember it much. The first RX-7 was also sold in the US the same month, it took me a little while to come around to them

Women age their whole lives. They enter puberty and weird things happen, they get pregnant and their skeletal structure and *other areas* change permanently, they go through menopause.
Men turn 17 and basically stay the same mentally and physically until they are 45-50 years old, then they go "hey, woah, what is left of my hair is turning gray and Ragin' Woody doesn't come to visit anymore". Still mentally 17 though.
Which is why there is a huge market for hair dye, hair loss, and boner pills, while women be all "you change as you get older, what's the big deal"
Just turned 59. I now understand my dad when he said he was a 30 year old trapped in a 70 year old body.
64 and I've considered every day a bonus for a long time. If not for the advances in medical things during my lifetime I'd have been gone decades ago. Currently on the rebound after my latest lights and sirens taxi ride to the ER with a short stay in the hospital.
In reply to Appleseed :
I was almost 35, before I realized I'd live to see 30. But that was due to the life I was living!
your statement sounds definitive, not speculative. Kinda gloomy question, but are you fighting off something, medical, or...
I am 29 and I will die young as late as possible.
BTW these ages are surprising to me, I knew most people on the forum were older but my brain was saying 40s for most of ya'll, even when you firmly said you weren't.
Born the same day Aretha Franklin's R.E.S.P.E.C.T was released. In '83 I learned that every day is a gift. Been trying to respect that knowledge since then. Appreciate what you have.
