Learned some of the things that can go wrong as u get older in class today. Its funny if I end up working a nursing home- wonder if I will get a reserved place in a few yrs when i am old. But I more or less decided that I'm not gonna get old.I remember when I hit 32 I thought my life was over. My mum had 9 kids at that age wore baggy sack dresses & kept her teeth in a jar on the window sill. Not a very pleasant picture is it?I cried all day thinking that was my fate. But I only had one child - & walked 5 miles a day for exercise so I didn't need baggy dresses to hide my fat.So at 57 I am blessed with good health- not so gung ho on walking - don;t have that time- but i try to do 45 mins on the exercise bike used to be everyday, Now with school it will most likely be only few days a wk. i feel young & won't go down that path of old age till I am at least in my late 70's . Then I might conside that I am "old"

	It's true, fifty is the new thirty. When I was a little boy my great grandfather was in his early sixties. He was very shriveled and walked slowly with a cane. I'm his age now and still run a bit. I'll be old when I get old. Not before.

	I am a senior citizen now and It is evident that one must pay for the sins of what they did to their body. The body is just like an auto--it will need more and more maintenance as it gets older for parts then to fail. all the running you did as in sports have done damage to the joints. The smoking or inhaleing of other gases/smoke has done it damage to the lungs The excessive weight requires the heart to work harder So, we are a product of our past. But I am retired and enjoying my life--I do not run--but I do walk I do ride the bike and drive the SUV, boat and car and yes I do go fishing.

	I get sooooo tired of the comments about my pic and my age compared....People dont realize there are good genes around still and we dont have to look as old as we are....but I am beginning to feel old...well...older....since my "younger men" (late fifties) are even "too old" for me.... You go girl! I want to wait till my 90's but...will there be any men that I won't be "robbing the cradle" by then??? lol.....oh well....

	Your only as old as you feel.

	"You are only as old as you feel" Geez, I hope not. My concept of what was "old" kept changing as my parents got older. They were both extremely active and fit people, so I didn't see them start to age until they were in their late 70's or early 80's. My dad didn't get "old" until my mom died. Then he aged rapidly. I guess a lot is in the mind and heart.

	I agree, you are only as old as you feel. Hard part is finding someone to feel me to let me know for sure.
