i remember my younger sister had a big 18th birthday party. as the night wore on and it was time for her 18 kisses - one of her friends took his shirt off as he approached to kiss her, he must have thought he was gods gift but i looked at him and thought 'he needs a dinner', whats worse is i could imagine myself cooking it, next second i realised i was far from 18, and 'old', arghh, did you experience something similar?

I said to my dad a couple of years ago (he's 67)"you know your getting old when you start picking up pennies off the ground" he came back with"whats wrong with that?"...I replied "I rest my case."

Growing old we can say is relative. You could be 50 but yet feel like 35 & are able to do things with people of that age group & it gets better if you are blessed with youthful looks.
Yet again you could be 50 look 60, feel 70 & grumble all day long.
In my case my libido has always been my mark of aging even though I have used glasses since I was 13, been bald since I was 25 & now at 59 I suffer from severe gout because I wont let go of my life style of un-inhibited eating & drinking.
Anyway talking about my libido sending me signals of aging have been as follows. In my teens the mere thought of any woman aroused me. It degenerated to when one needed porno to help & then you had to see the feminine form & finally am at the stage when some physicals are needed. Even the brain is becoming choosey about the type of body. I know that very soon I would be needing some of the medical aids available. I gather that also stops working after sometime. That is when I will accept that am old. How sad that is going to be.

Most possibly my next birthday, but I tell myself I feel like I'm 16. I keep my VA VA voom up with lots of exercise, eating well and being social. After all you are as old (young) as you feel.
My last ageing exsperience was a school and rugby reunion when it was ten years when we last saw each other. Quite scary now were in careers and yet our attitudes are still quite similar.

I felt old when I was young. But now that I am older I felt young. I don't know why that is. At 21 I thought I was nearly over the hill, now at 40+ I feel like a teenager.

I guess I finally felt 'old' when I held my grandson for the first time. Now he's in school, and his brother will be in school next year. I'm a damn long way from 18, yet sometimes it seems like last week.

I think when I had had been kicked out of home at 16, and trying to survive on the streets and at friends houses.... and hearing friends moan about schoolwork or their parents and the like. That made me feel old, and worn.

When walking with my daughter we passed a fairly new set of houses and I said to her, "All this was fields when I was a lad", and I realised I was turning into my Dad.
