I used to be the youngest one at work, then one day I was the oldest. Something must have happened in between, if I could only remember.

Speaking of being really old, Ben, what about your joy at finding a coupon book that gets you cheap breakfasts. If you are going to early bird dinner specials too, I`d have to say that puts the last nail in your coffin of old age.

Next comes the white shoes and matching belt, and driving way too slow.

I saw my first "shock of grey hair" in the mirror around my temples when I was 28 years old.

I stopped worrying about it right around the same time.

Every wrinkle, every white hair, every year is hard-earned and brings additions to the store of knowledge.

As to price discounts, give them to me. I don't care what the stated reasons are.

You are sometimes mistaken by others for old. I am sometimes mistaken by others for smart. It all evens out in the big picture.

That's exactly the trouble -I DON'T remember when. Christ, half the time I can't even remember what I had for breakfast let alone wax nostalgic about the the days when I had hair and teeth.

Your post couldn't have been more human.

I don't want to give in the old age either, but then again, can I jump off the kitchen chair after putting in the ceiling light? Well, yes, once.

"After a lifetime of flights of furious fancy
in the vast lunatic lunaverse of my imagination
I am descending onto the runway
without landing gear."

In a marketing effort to score points with seniors who aren't seniors Shopper's Drug Mart now sets the bar for seniority at 55.

If customer loyalty -combined with profit- demanded it, Shopper's would declare the age of elderness to begin shortly after puberty, around 12 or 13 I suspect.

At least you didn't start the post "remember when"! That'll make you really old
