Just keep in mind that getting older is way better than the alternative.

That's what I always say! Then I get accused of being morbid.

Ha, sorry to hear it. If you do need help, you can start a new thread describing the problem.

I've delegated the aging thing to the portrait of myself I am hiding in my basement. It worked for Dorian Gray. ...I am a much nicer person too so the portrait does not look too bad so far:twisted:
Some folks sink into all sorts of vices after they hit their 40 and start the Midlife crisis (look at recent headlines).Riding a scooter is very tame and quite socially appropriate in comparison. Off course my family and friends (all very straight laced and proper) are horrified I am riding a MOTORCYCLE :shock: I tell them I am having a midlife crisis. They nod in understanding and we move on to the next subject.

I'm way too young to be feeling so old. Time to hit the gym!

Unfortunately, I used up all my mid-life crisis excuses and cred much earlier in life. even my mother told me once that my 20s seemed liked I was having a mid-life crisis. I still managed, many years later, to use it as reasoning for getting a scooter.

Now I need excuses for getting more scooters!
