Its Official - I'm Old

Posted by Mitch45 on Tue Nov 3 08:58:21 2009

I found out yesterday that a good friend of mine from elementary school - who is three months younger than I am - just became a grandfather at age 44.

If you're old, I'm dead! I'm turning 59 on the 15th. I can't remember that far back when I was 44! You are a young whippersnapper, kid,LOL!

If you're old, I'm dead!

That is, arguably, the greatest post ever on this site.

I'm 44 too. I figured I was getting old when the early 20somethings start calling me sir:-). It's all good though. I had a great time in my youngster days, but I was broke as heck too.

It ranks right up there with something Fred G once wrote even though I can't remember what it was and the post by LuchAAA where he removed someone from his LOL (List of Liberals) because said individual spoke out against bodegas for some reason.

If you were in the hills of Arkansas or Tennessee, you could substitute "30" for "44."

Age is just a number and it's how you view it. If you sit back and do nothing...yes...you will get old quicker. Live every day as if it were your last. Be active as much as you can. Sitting like a "couch potato" serves no purpose. Everyone is different. Most people think I'm 33..which I'm not. So I have that advantage where others don't.

That's not that odd....you could be a grandfather at 36. If you have a kid at 18, and your kid has a kid at 18, your 36 and a grandfather....not the life I would want....but happens all the time.

It's not that "unheard of" outside orthodox either, and it depends on the culture. My grandmother was married at 17 and had a kid at 18. All of her kids sort of broke that, and got married late, but if they married young, she would have been a grandmother by 37 or so....

I'm in my late 30's now....and about 3 or 4 years ago, I stopped getting "proofed" at bars...that's when I knew I was "getting old".... LOL, I used to get annoyed when they would ask me for it....now I only wish they would!

Agreed! I rarely get carded nowadays. I does happen on occasion when I shave and I'm dressed-down. It's good when you can find humor in this sort of thing. I have a childhood friend who is having a hard time with the fact that we're no longer the young dudes.

I dunno. Anytime one of your classmates becomes a saba, zeidy, grampa or otherwise, you feel old.

You're young, Terp. You'll see.

Interesting, who is "older"?
One who is a Father at 50 or who is a Grandfather at 50?

Grandparentdom is highly variable. My sister became a grandmother for the first time at age 67, my mother at 53.

You're only as old as you feel. That makes me about 90.

When you can't be first but aspire to do so, it's okay to be second or third...
