We are in the same boat here. I have four kids all grown, three married, soon to be three grandkids and am enjoying this stage of life.... but what I find a tad bit scary is I turn around and see friends my age having babies!

 

Most thumbs up, smiles and general comments about my car come from people who are more advanced in the age arena than I am.

Im about 28 but on the weekends Im 21

 

Hey, look at my NAM signature. It has the same quote (kinda). My other favorite saying is "I'll sleep when I'm dead!"

By the way just how old are you when you are a geezer? I've read through this thread and it's interesting most of the age disclosures are from people who are not geezers.

 

geezer schmeezer...age is a number.

And before some whippersnapper makes a smarmy remark about age, just remember this...the clock is ticking for everyone...and there's not a thing that can be done about it.

 

OK, Mom. Agreed! Just a number, nothing more.

 

as in 0 -60?

 

Man I am thrilled to see 60. Every new day is wonderful. Every day with the top down is a blessing!

 

I'm 39 and holding. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

 

I'm not a geezer. I'm an Official Old Fart. My baseball cap says so.
Becky says she's looking forward to becoming a crone (her words).

 

My husband and I like to drive thru the village of Ebenezer in Mo. We've decided when we retire, we're moving and become the two geezers from Ebenezer! I'm 50 and don't feel like a geezer yet though.

 

I'm well over 50 and still haven't figured out what I'm going to be when I grow up.

 

You're not getting old until you can identify with the saying, "Getting old is not for sissies".

 

I like that!

 

Pretty old. That sounds like senility.

 

57 soon, skidding sideways and loving it. When I hit 60, I'm walking out of work and have some real fun. Then, I might be moving to Nevada soon....just me and my pygmy...err...my MINI pony. Gonna raise me a crop of dental floss, be my own boss.

 

How come I can't get a MINI with "3 on the tree"? If you don't know what I'm talking about - you ain't a geezer.

 

I have always thought of my age as "just a number", if I ever really thought about it at all. Then a clerk somewhere asked me "Are you a senior citizen?" Whoa! "I never really thought about it . But now that you ask, I guess I am if it's cheaper." I have 5 offspring, all grown, many married.

My kids have had conversations as though I weren't in the room (He can't hear us anyway.) about the relative differences between geezers, coots and cogers (How do you spell "caujer"?). They decided I fell into the coot category, while my dad was a coger.

 

I believe it's spelled "codger."

 

Yes, that's it! Thanks!

 

Offical "BOG" ( Bald Old Guy)here. Been that way since I was in my early 20's. Cronological age is in the mid 50's mental age is 18, always has been, always will be. Increasing in years is a blessing, you have the money to do the stuff you couldn't afford when you were younger.

 

Two indicators in my family:

1. I'm listening to a hard rock station on the MINI radio, and after a long set with Jimi, Doors, Stones, etc. the jock sez,"That was for all you aging freaks out there!" Ouch. I realized that was me. Good thing - It'll happen to everyone sooner or later. ;-)

2. My Dad, who has aged remarkably well, was once cruising in his old red Chrysler convertible with his Taz hat on, when two college cuties pulled up next to him at a light, and one of 'em asked, "Hey, little red car, where you going with that old guy?", and laughed - my dad laughed pretty hard, too, and they waved at him as the left. He told me that's when he really made the connection that just how young you feel has nothing to do with how old you are.

 

yey go ahead and put your hand out the window and signal a right hand turn,lthen your a geezer.

 

Young or old, you still drive a cooler car than ANYONE who doesn't own a Mini

 

I do believe my MINI will reach my age in about 6 seconds.
