I’m pretty sure old age didn’t even bother honking at me.

Appropriate as he turns 70 today.

Old? Not me! I shall fight it tooth and nail! Speaking of teeth, I’m posting from the dentist’s chair. I’m waiting for the plastic to harden for a new crown.

Didn’t know that, but certainly he chose that one today for a reason.

I had my temporary crown come unglued twice, and my permanent crown come unglued once. It’s been good for almost two years now though, so seems like they finally got it to stick. Was worried I was only going to be eating liquids for the rest of my life for a bit there.

They say you are only as old as you feel. My corollary to that is, you don’t have to feel as old as you are. I like to think that gives me a bit of a choice in the matter.

Huh. I wouldn't have guessed he was that old, but it makes sense.

It does, but as someone who is north of 40, I can add that exercising that choice gets more difficult with each passing year..

I had one crown that was particularly uncooperative. It came off multiple times, resulting in other broken teeth. That led to two additional crowns and eventually, an implant.

Ouch, glad mine wasn’t that bad...

We ain’t old. We’re mature.

Excuse me while I go yell at some kids on my lawn.

As someone who is  north of 50, I agree.

Sorry, I didn’t that that was a Thing™.

I have a bumper sticker on my college footlocker (which I still have) that reads , “You’re only young once, but you can be immature forever.”

That’s the wisest sticker ever.

At the time, I thought I was being clever. 30 years later, I see the wisdom of it.

I’m joking. Few people other than me post FSF, so out of the past hundred odd weeks of it I have been first out of the gate all but a couple of times.
