Pretty funny, and so true. i can remember when getting my driver's license and then being able to vote (at 21) and legally drink alcohol were the milestones. I'm not sure there are any milestones between 21 and 65 when you are eligible for Medicare!Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169314107796334970.post-2972911635126672472014-09-10T09:37:13.659-05:002014-09-10T09:37:13.659-05:00This has been erroneously attributed to George Car...This has been erroneously attributed to George Carlin but it is still funny and I have only copied it in part.<br /><br />"Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.<br />'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five!... 'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16!... BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70!"<br /><br />Now Gypsy has added FACING 74 - not only facing it but "in two months". I get the impression that this is some dreadful thing that I too will be FACING in a couple of years and 7 months. I was actually looking forward to it rather than dreading it but perhaps I need to reconsider.<br />Edhttp://www.edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169314107796334970.post-14430830855278258702014-09-10T08:26:42.458-05:002014-09-10T08:26:42.458-05:00Looking back, 73 isn't so bad.

Her brother is 89 and still goes out hunting for elk and mule deer every year as well as helping the neighbor with his cattle roundup every fall. Don't give me the excuse of smoking, as my mother smokes to this day.
