Younger by almost a year – turned 25 in September. I’m already starting to feel old (psychologically, not physically); how’s it gonna be at 40, or even 30 for that matter? ---

Born way back in 1960 - Dec. 2nd to be exact. **Rodgers01** - my body may not feel quite as chipper as it did when I was younger, but mentally I am in much better shape. I just hate the “creaking” my bones do on cold mornings! ---

> [@A.R. Cane](#): > > 13 January 1939, it was a friday and I’m officially a geezer, but don’t underestimate me. You are really, like, _OLD!_ You are actually, um, 66 or some shit. That’s freakin’ _ancient!_ Do they still let you drive, or are you lookin’ back on those times when you could drive as the Good Old Days? And how did you get here? You must live with your grandchildren, and they turn the 'puter on for you and navigate it to the 'Dope so you can post. Can you read the screens, or does somebody read for you and type your responses? 1939? DA-YUM! Oh yeah; I’m slightly older than the OP. Born Oct. 15, 1942.
