I can feel like 25 when I'm with the right people (not necessarily 25 year olds).  Sometimes when my arthritis flares up I am fully 53.

RichardMEL, can you be 25?  >:D

KR, those younger guys probably have lots more experience than I do!


Sure thing Deanne!! What's that saying about you're only as old as the person you feel or something?

How about a hug?

58˝.  Have grown older, but never managed to grow up.
My dad only admitted to GETTING old when he was 88.  My 80 year old oldest sister just came back from a trip to Switzerland.  She has been on every continent except Antarctica, and says that we mustn't put even that past her!!!

Age is a state of mind.

Hi Jess

I thought I would post this in this thread.  We have an organization like AARP, it is called BARP and they featured my olderst sister (whom I told you guys about) in their new look magazine.  I cut and pasted the cover from the website, since I am sure how long the link will last, but you can try it - http://www.barpbb.com/index_2.html.
She sent me a copy of the magazine and i have been showing off to everyone who would give me a minute.  My Big Sister!

Under the caption they say - ‘Cover Girl’ for the 76 page Summer 2008 launch issue is people’s favourite, Maizie Barker-Welch, who unveiled the magazine at the recent launch.

By the way, she isn't even at home this weekend.  Off to Trinidad to a women's conference, dragging along another sister who is much more housebound (and six years younger!)
The article about my sister took 4 pages.  I took a picture of the pages.  You wouldn't be able to read it, but you can see the pictures.
This is the last paragraph of the article -
Quote
So what is it that drives this extraordinary woman?  There is a short pause, her eyes light up, then comes the response.  "Life," she says.  "I find life exciting!"
I find getting up on mornings and going among my trees and greenery, there is nothing like it. 
I marvel at the magnificence of this world and the fact that I am a part of it.  That excites me."
She is so much like my father was!
