When somebody tells me to act my age I don't know how as I've never been this age before!


Be honest Ron - it is probably just that you have forgotten how old you are - common when you get so old

Me at 80, MPH that is!

When you're young and in school it took eons for the school day to get over then Friday seemed like it took forever to get there. You wait for turning 13, then 16, 18 and 21; those magic years for boys. When you get out into the working world then it's payday and bill paying time. It seems like you just paid that bill and it's due again already? Months fly by then years. It's still hard for me to wrap my mind around being 60 as that's an age for old people!
I can't get used to being able to to buy things and getting a Senior Citizen's discount or being able to live in a retirement community if I wish. Many of those are now happening at younger ages, 55 for a lot of them where it used to be over 60. The AARP starts sending you mail at 49, just before your 50th birthday. Yeah, my wife thought that it was funny until she got hers! There's about 5 yearts and 9 months between us so I have the head-start on all of this stuff over her.

Status: offline 		Being somewhere in the middle I can certainly relate - I can remember all too well waiting for time to pass - the year could not go fast enough. Especially true at the end of the year with Christmas, Birthday, and end of school year/summer vacation (A southern hemisphere thing). The months would really drag. But now it is really a blink and another month has passed. Perhaps as we age there is more added to our calender so we are kept busier. Having a wife you know all too well she has most months booked with events and things that otherwise would not be happening too. My son has just hit 2 so I have him as a reference for time too. Amazing how quick it passes as you watch them grow.

Stay young guys!! Remember - Your only as old as you feel - But just don't feel anything younger than 18 or you will be in trouble

What you guys say is sooo true...I am now 'pushing 40' and it seemed like yesterday when I waited forever for the 'school bell' to ring ....Or even the big moment when I finally got my drivers license after waiting what seemed like eternity.....It seems like my young years took forever, especially in the teen and pre-teen years but after 21 it was like getting on a skateboard and started down a never ending long and steep hill....The years are going by faster and faster and they are not slowing up at all...Before you know it I will blow by 40 then 45, 50, 55, 60, 70 and faster and faster to the end...I wish I could find a way to put the brakes on life and slow it down to my pre-teen speeds....I think hitting the Mega-Millions lotto just might do the trick..

I think it is because we have to WORK  and try to stay afloat in all the monotony that makes time fly...I too see the time go by in my two very young children. My wife took both sons and our live in nanny on a business trip for a week...When they got back my youngest  (5 1/2 months old) looked so different...Each week he is transforming before our eyes and it's hard to tell until they go away for even a short while...It seemed like yesterday when my oldest son (2 1/2 years) was born...now he seems so big...

Damn, are we getting personnal or what
I started building R/C boats almost 30 years ago while I was a student at the now closed naval training base in Millington TN, plastic models prior to that. That should put you in the ballpark



I'll be 61 in January.  I just noticed that you once were stationed in Millington... Do you still remember Jonesboro, Arkansas?  about 65 miles from Memphis.  That's where I call home.
