Not to mention deafness.

The kids "What is that Sound"

The kids "what's a Mosh Pit"
Me "Just change the freakin station"

You are really, really old when you were out of college and married well before Iron Maiden began in '75. To me, oldies are songs from the '50s.

Like Brian Johnson of AC/DC. He wasn't quite deaf but he had to stop touring for a while because of his hearing.

Didn't one of the brothers die?

Yeah, Malcolm Young - died in 2017.

You know your old when when you are putting in your birth date on a website and you have to scroll down, and down, and down, and down to get to your year.

....when your grade school class photos are in black and white.

Come on now...I've been on this rock for at least part of seven decades and all my school pictures were in color. That includes the kindergarten picture where my mon slathered my head with Dippity-Do to make sure I took a respectable picture.

You get out of bed in the morning and pull a groin muscle, have to sit on bed to pull shorts on because can't balance on the pulled side

I'm in my 9th decade.

Here I am with my older brother and sister in 1952 standing on the lawn.

Seriously? Should be a record here.

Must be all that good living. Keep it up.

Your Senior High School Yearbook is falling apart.

I don't know. Your yearbook could be falling apart because you are still obsessed with one of your classmates and you regularly flip through your yearbook to check her out yet one more time!

I was born in late 1949, so I'd been in two decades when I was just a few months old.

You are right though about the good living. Who knows what tomorrow brings, but each day I try to enjoy life as best I can. I don't get my panties in a twist about every little thing. For me, life is too short for that. I'm an avid hiker so I'm in really good shape for an old guy. Twice a week, we hike 5 to 8 miles with an elevation gain of 1,500 feet. Occasionally, it's double that. I'm probably more fit today than at any time since high school.

Good to hear. I was born in 1955 and am currently 66 years old. 60s are the new 40s, lol. I don't sweat the little things either. Life is to enjoy.

I walk 3 miles, 5 nights a week and exercise 3 times a week. I've always been in pretty good shape. Feel like I could make it well in to my 80s.

Anything can happen, though. You just never know.

I'm in a hiking group and one of the guys just turned 81. You would think he is 65. He is always in front. It's inspiring to be honest . Getting up off the couch is a good thing.

Haha, true. But relaxing on the couch every once in a while is good too.

I'd say, color camera in the early 50s?

Back on topic, my freaking shoulder still bothers me just because I overlifted some groceries or luggage and it has never been the same if I trigger it again. So so annoying. When I was younger I could seemingly anything w/o any aches or whatever the day after.

I used to laugh when I heard my father on the phone catching up with old friends. He would speak about his new friends Arthur Itis, Bru Citis. And all the new ailments. I find myself having the same type of conversations with my friends.
