Last year I wasn't exactly feeling Old...I was running around chasing a bunch of untrained Boxers and turning them into Dogs that people would want in their homes. Or, trying to...

I was carrying Dogs from surgery, out to my truck, lugging sacks of food...Feeling pretty darned Great...and Anything but Old.

Now I am a bit worn around the edges-been dragged through the mill backwards-but I am still not sure that I am "Old".

I spent a few weeks looking around on dating sites...now THAT made me feel Ancient. Some of Those people looked OLD. Personally, I think some of them were stretching the truth a bit on those ages...but, who knows.

I am pretty useless, except for griping and typing...but hope to end that soon. Get busy, and be Someone again.

I took an age profile test-it said I was 85...I wasn't amused. I didn't redo it, I was afraid they would send an Undertaker the next try.

So, is 45 OLD or Not???

in dog years? lol....just kidding.......i stopped keeping score when i hit 18.......the secret is to keep your childhood heart ;)

An age profile test? Yikes! I'm not going THERE!!! I refuse to know exactly how old I am.

deleted_user 10/22/2007

Cliche' but age is just a number. If you feel young then you are, if you feel old then you are.

Don't look at the number look at the person insdie and make sure that that person is who you want to be then age won't matter.

i knew there was a reason i wouldn't take that test!
i'm right behind ya & jumped out of a plane as my gift to myself for my 43rd bday! to hell with the rocking chair, go run with the big dogs!

Tami I've always said "You're not old until Willard Scott can mention your name on the Today Show."

Hey, in Dog Years I would be a Miracle!!! :-D

Just wondering if the Other 40's and 50's were questioning this.

Carried from another DS'ers post.

I agree with jbaha...get active, get to moving...decide what you want to be doing at 60 and get to doing the things that will get you there and beyond...How do you want to feel inside and out at 60? 45 isn't old and neither is 60! It (our age) can only become old if you let it!!!!

deleted_user 10/22/2007

i'm 49...been told i reflect the personna of a 20 yr old.......then againothers have characterized me differently....how old is an ashole? LMAO

deleted_user 10/22/2007

I'm about to turn the big "50" but dont' feel anywhere near that age. I took that actual age test someone posted here about a month ago and my true age was 37...and that's how I feel too...pretty right on test I'd say!

As a kid, I remember thinking that I wanted to die when I turned 6o cause that was so darn old. Now, I can't even imagine that...it's only 10 years away and I have so much more living to do.

So, the answer to your question for me is...I am YOUNG!!!

I am 52 and do not feel old , I may look the part but do not feel it. I have a habit of saying i am older than dirt , but that is true, some of the dirt made in my compost pile is younger than I am .I hope I smell better.

deleted_user 10/22/2007

It's all self perception. How you see yourself, how you think some one else sees you.

You are sooo not "old" Tami. You are full of life and fun. Stop looking at the numbers.

I felt older ten years ago than I do now. Well, except for sitting on my arse until I have flattened it out...gonna need goose feathers to fluff it back up when I finally get out of this Chair!!!

I really should have set up some gym equipment in my bedroom...I just didn't dream I would still be sitting here.

I'm 48 and yes I do feel old. I'm told I don't look my age, but come on who does anymore. But I did have a 21 year old walking me to my car and treating me exceptionally nice. I thought he was being nice until I saw him staring at my chest. I guess I still have a little of it.

deleted_user 10/22/2007

I'm 47 and I do feel my age when I stay up late. Hate to admit that.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
