60 and still running with the younger crowd (at least physically). However, my children have mentioned something like the "age of the dinasours" when referring to me.

A lot of the 'older folks' talk about feeling younger, well as I've already stated, I'm 26, I turn 27 in Feb., and a year and a half ago, I felt 60. Couldn't work, couldn't drive, I couldn't even barely get up to take a piss. I was recovering from a mild heart attack, the reason for which is still TBD, I have recovered, so they say, but they still won't sign the waiver for me to get my medical certification back so I can drive semi's again. So, all you 'old peeps' out there that are still out and about and having fun and feeling 30 years younger than you really are, I envy you.

At 26 and they have no idea what caused it? That's rough. It sounds like you've recovered with no lingering affects.
On the other hand, we older guys lie a lot about our "prowess" ..

Yeah, I still get short of breath easy, but other than that, no real lingering effects. When I went in and they did the heart cath, and ran all of the requisite blood work, the only thing they could find that even suggested I was having a heart attack was my triglycerides were elevated.... My cholesterol was down, my blood sodium level was below 'normal' levels... My cardiologist is still stumped....
A new girl came to work !! Blond, about 30 years old ,,she has the desk in front of me..lots of bending(,filling drawers) over the first day,, makes me wish I was a youthfull 59 again..
Im retireing when they roll the body bag in the hole

Yup... the older I get, the more I resort to that old saying: "Once a King, always a King, but once a Knight's enough."

I've had my Fiero since I was 19. First car? No, 3rd actually. Still it's my favorite! I've had newer cars, fancier cars, faster cars, cars with more prestigious brand names, but I still enjoy driving my Fiero the most!
By some official tally I will be 62 this January, but I don't believe that bs. for a second. If you "never let your attitude grow old" you will never feel old. As the plate on my Fiero reads .... 18tillidie

I have 4 sisters. Trust me, I can't wait to get out of the house.
I would give up living on my own for the extra $1000/month to stay with my mom and sis. Rent and bills are just to rough. I'm only 20 and would like to spend the little money I make on me and the fiero, not necessities... then again wouldn't everyone? lol
