Thread: Hit 65 today

Thanks Guys. Dave, yes I do have some pull in the SS Dept. as my sister in law works there. Get my check 4 days after turning 65. Roland, I know what you mean. Where I screwed up my body even though I was only in my early to mid 20's was boxing. I boxed for two and a half yearsprofessionally and did my shoulders and hands some damage that never recovered. Then on top of that bad back, knees etc. but as the say ing goes,"I'm still here and doing what i've done all my life" so that ain't to bad at all. My grandmother lived to 101, my grandfather 91, and my Mom just turned 90 so maybe the saying that you inherit your genes from your family members must have some truth behind it.

Happy 65th to you. It's just a number, I remember a time in my life when I thought 40 was old. My 30th was my most depressing because I was no longer "young."

George Burns summed it up. Someone once said to him "Who the h*** would want to live to be 100??" His answer " A guy who is 99."

Have a piece of cake for us, Happy Birthday.

Congrats! I'm not quite there yet but already thinking about walking away from the daily grind to have another daily grind of my own choosing! Hope you enjoy your time.

I'll be 71 in April and it seems like yesterday that I was 65.Time waits for no one.

Have a nice Birthday and welcome to the over the hill gang.

Happy Birthday Bart---and many more!!!---Brian

Happy birthday! 65 is not old. you are just 30 with 35 years of experience.

Barb. Now I like that reasoning. Have to keep that in mind.

Happy Birthday sir ............. I'm sneaking up on you

A belated Happy Birthday to you. I hope you had a glorious one. You are only 2.5 years ahead of me. Hope you don't mind my not exerting myself to catch up with you.

Yes you are but I can truthfully say you'll never catch me

Another great thread...

I am continually amazed at how many people in this wonderful country have the mistaken idea that somewhere between 55 and 60 people become "obsolete".. I want to peak when I'm 85! I think the best years are those I'm living right now.

Sure, there's a few things that I may not do as well as I did when I was 19 or 20 (some I probably should not of done even then!), but for the most part I enjoy every day as a great gift and want to continue to contribute accordingly.

Like all of us on this site, I've had my share of bad days and a few rotten hands dealt my way, but I refuse to go to the lowest common denominator, rather, like Chevy37 - I'm gonna just "keep on keepin' on!"

Congratulations on another milestone! Lord willin' there will be lots more!

Regards,
Glenn
