We will now conjugate the verb, To Be:

She is old
He is old
We is all old

Clodfobble · 12-27-2016, 03:04 PM

I was old
I will be old
I have been old
I will have been old

Griff · 12-27-2016, 03:41 PM

I must have been old(ing).

I can tell you that officially, from some psych/sociology textbook I had to read, "middle age" is defined as 45-65, and 65+ is "elderly". I remembered it because I thought that range seemed much higher than what I'd always thought middle age was, which was more like 30-50. They claimed 25-45 was "young adult" and 16ish-25 was "emerging adult" or some bullshit.

The whole thing was based on what people that age are supposedly focused on, like "in the elderly stage of life, individuals become concerned with their legacy, and resting to admire the fruits of their accomplishments."

I age, but, I do not grow up.

And I ain't gonna, either.

Twice the age of the others, still cutting a dash
I wonder if his joints crackle and ache just like mine
If he feels like arthritis is just marking time
Or if he's a zombie, long gone but still moving
I'd rather have Freddie, still Crooning and groovin'
Yes, I just wrote this poem on the spot
But who knows how much longer we've got
Live for the moment, skip the rough draft
Get out there and do it, have the last laugh

So start over on the minute, the hour the day
'Til the maudlin bullshit is blasted away
I will get on, do the best that I can
To pretend I still count, that there's a need for my plan
And I'll never wear people with a clashing red hat
No things go on my head, and I only wear black
Thank you for listening, no need for response
I guess I just needed a vent for my bonce

BTW, Monster, I thought that was just awesome. Well done.

Oh yes. And I shall have been being old before I die. If I'm lucky.

that should have been "purple" not "people"

Ha...that one stalled me out a bit. I agree with Grav and Limey.

I was chatting up the new waitress.

Then I found out how young she is.

And, suddenly, I was old.

When the person who seems like a well established adult was born after you graduated from high school, that tends to make you feel old.

Gravdigr · 01-05-2017, 01:27 PM

The situation exact.

She's 23.

I graduated in 1986.

She was quite friendly, though.

Coulda been looking for a tip, but, she wasn't working the bar.

I had her guessed at 30-ish. I didn't tell her that.

monster · 01-05-2017, 01:29 PM

my daughter seems like a well established adult

Mind you, she's precocious -there are many ten years older than her who still seem like idiotic teenagers.
