I was at work tonight and one of the teeny boppers that works there came up to me as I was leaving and said 'Jen, are you going to come to my birthday party next week? I'll be turning 17...I don't think anyone will care if old people come, too".
Old people?!?! WTF?  I looked at her and said 'OLD?! Honey, I'm not old, I'm............holy crap, I'm exactly twice your age.'  <blank stare for about 10 seconds>  I didn't feel old an hour ago, but I sure do now. I think I'll go take my teeth out, rub Ben Gay over my body and go to bed before my heart gives and brain function ceases. |

34 old? Bah.
 I wouldn't go back, and do over ANY of the years from 17-35. Life gets interesting in your 30's, and by then you have the maturity and money to enjoy it. |

I just realized that when we have kids, I'll have to have someone carry my oxygen tank and roll my wheelchair down to their high school graduation.

At least she called you "Jen" instead of "ma'am."
 Look at the bright side--in just one year you will begin to fall into my perfect age range for women--35-55. You ladies are wonderful outside of that range, but you are at your BEST within it.  Besides, we've seen your pics--no complaining allowed. ::big grandfatherly hug:: |

Ah, I remember the shock in November as the Target clerk (about 17) asked me if I was interested in their Visa card. She told me how points can go to my children's (don't have children yet) or grandchildren's school. Er um, wait a minute - I'm only 35! Grandkids? What? I was too floored to say anything other than I don't have children and wasn't interested.
Someday I'll think of a witty reply for those situations. Hubby gave me a big hug and made me feel better though. Don't let it get to ya.

Awww come on, having kids in your mid to late 30's is FUN! They keep you feeling young. That is until they finally crash at night then all the stresses of the day hit your body like a ton of bricks and you feel twice your age. Just kidding, it isn't that bad.

32, not 34, but I might as well be. After the big 3-0, it all runs together, straight downhill.
I will say in my own age defense, that I still get carded for alchohol, smokes, spray paint, gambling, and sometimes the periodical lottery ticket.

I'm 32. The average age for my store is *maybe* 18. All the kids think I'm in my mid 20's... I can't possibly be over 30, because I don't have a wheel chair or an oxygen tank.
Bunch of dumb asses, I hope they remember this shit when they hit 30. Just give her the finger and tell her that you'll remember her when you're buying the second round when you go out for drinks later tonight.

My wife just turned 29. Any sense of humor she may have had about her being old (she's a whopping 4 months older than I am
) has evaporated. This, of course, makes those jokes irresistable to me. I'll probably not live to see what it feels like to be that old.....

When I was 26, one of my students suggested that I get a dog... because at my age, I shouldn't live alone.
My grandmother turned 39 and stayed there. My dad always said it was kinda embarrassing having to explain to people why he was older than his mother... And for those of you in fear of your 35th or 40th birthdays... BAH! I am MUCH HAPPIER and MUCH BETTER OFF in so many ways than I was at either of those ages. (Of course, when I hit 50 in 5 years, it wll be while kicking and screaming...) And a word of advice: Don't hold at 29 or 39. As a matter of fact, don't even turn 29 or 39!!! If you plan to hold, hold at 28 or 38. Even if you plan to age gracefully, do 28 or 38 twice, skip the 9's, and move on to 30 or 40. When you say you are 29 or 39, everyone is convinced you're lying, anyway...
