What is your age ?

TraderVic · Post by **TraderVic** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 1:49 pm

Kind of quiet here lately, thought I'd pour another cup of coffee and toss out a new discussion...

I'm 68, for a few months longer....

My body constantly reminds me that I'm 54.

Exactly why I've gone over to the Dark Side. Being an ins. adjuster is a whole lot easier on me, in more ways than one.

I remember my wife tellin' me after a "not so bad" horse wreck... "you're 48 years old, think you're 24 and act like you're 12!" Fast forward 23 years... not much has changed!

I turned 71 last December. Still enjoying reloading ammo and shooting metallic silhouettes. This June will mark 48 years of marriage.

Sounds like TraderVic and I are similar. Some days I feel a lot younger (but not many) and other days a lot older, especially when I do something stupid. Wife asks me what she can do for me and I tell her to turn back the hands of time on my body at LEAST 20 years, 30 would be better!!

Since I was born? Or since I started breathing again after being pronounced dead and coming to room temperature for about 3 hours?

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 4:12 pm

67 for a few more months but like many others have stated, I'm about 14....I can still do what I did at 30 but slower......---006

Whatever works for you

At age 32 I survived an acoustic neuroma (brain tumor) and The Good Lord has given me 36 more years so far

My favorite age would have to be after the war between the States till about 1910.

Thinking the same thing.

They say age is all in your head... but my body tells me I'm a couple months shy of 58. It's not the years, its the mileage...

56 years according to my birth certificate. 2 1/2 since my death certificate was signed. The hospital morgue employee was a bit surprised to see a Nurse run screaming out of the room where he was sent to pick up a dead body. I got told about it the next day. I do not remember anything from that day other than being told to go back because it was not my time. No clue who told me to go back. The burns from the defibrillator healed within a week.

CowboyTutt · Post by **CowboyTutt** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 9:08 pm

Pillar, Brian, no words except to say more to you than meets the eye. Glad you survived. I'm taking early retirement at 55 from being a school psychologist for 20 years. The job just gets worse with more demands and my family needs me in SoCal as I am executor of my Mom's estate. Want to work less hard, and enjoy being with friends and family before they also pass. I'm only 55 but feeling the heat. -Tutt

piller · Post by **piller** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:30 pm

Tutt, I truly hope you can enjoy your retirement and make the most of your time. We truly do not know how much time we have left.

jeepnik · Post by **jeepnik** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:37 pm

69 but today more like 96. I just ain't as young as I used to be. Lifting heavy stuff reminds me of that.

horsesoldier03 · Post by **horsesoldier03** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:38 pm

After 20 yrs in the army, my body feels way older than 57. Hopefully my 3 grandkids will reverse a little time and get me feeling younger again!

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:45 pm

I'm 54....I guess. Some days I feel like I'm 90, some days I feel like I'm 40.
But I act like a 12 year old every day.

70.....Like others, 20 years military, five years brushing line/pack mule...15 years hard work water utility.

Doing less and less for the first time, and more and more for the last time.

Drawdown · Post by **Drawdown** » Sat Mar 12, 2022 6:15 am

I'll be 63 in May, buts that's just this old dying body. But looking at it in truth, me the man inside, I was born again by belief and now faith in Jesus Christ in 2003! So I'm a happy 19 now, and glad I don't have to go through all them selfish early years again, they're over. And eternity is ahead, and best of all, the best deal in God's plan, I get an eternal, perfectly new & lasting body to boot, sometime very soon when my Saviour returns, and brings an end of all this mess man has made, and making worse!
And this free 100% guaranteed offer applies to anyone willing to accept it! I'm sure glad I did, and know for sure it's real, and no man can take away!
Isaiah 55, Romans 10:9-13, and page after page of his blessed Holy Promises!

A few years back, my wife and I went to a Marshall Tucker concert at a nearby county fair. In a humorous way, I felt like we were in a geriatric ward.
........kind of feel the same way here....spooky.

They were hard times Jim......my personal belief is right where most of us are at.....born after WW 2 where lots of prosperity was about, excellent health care, enough loot coming in so retirement can actually be enjoyed, and then die before what's coming........and it's coming....

Lets not forget we are at the perfect age for being greedy and lust after all of those pre war guns. There's never been a time when the average guy can have 20 or more guns and near unlimited ammo. My dad, who grew up in the mountains of western Pa.never heard people shooting for the fun of it....

Here's a nightmare......the year 2040....all of the good guns are in museums or rich people ......and everyone has to resort to having a Rossi.....

That's what I like about you Jim.....you take it with a smile........which is how it's meant to be......

On a serious note, my argument for inexpensive guns is how else can a person who lives in the hood protect themselves? As the overwhelming amount of people who live in the hood are decent and law abiding, these are the people who are most at risk of a crime.

Rossi and Bersa should step up to the plate and hand these guns out and you'd see crime fall....and I'm not laughing.
