    Most of those hits never had a prime.

    My grandfather would be 121 if he were alive.

    I've recently come to the conclusion that it's my age that is making me feel old.
    And for that, I blame when I was born.

    We recently moved into a 55-plus community, which makes me feel both old and young.

    Old because I live there, but young because at almost 57, I'm one of the youngest residents. And my wife, who is 46, may be the youngest. Our neighbors are mostly in their 70s and 80s.

    I feel old on days like this just because it seems like yesterday we were taking him home from the hospital.
    I generally don't feel old. I'm 42, and I know that's not technically "old", but shit......where have the past 17 years gone?
    Gone in a fucking blur.

    I'm only a year younger than you and have two toddlers.

    My youngest won't be 17 until I'm 56.

    My in-laws moved into one of these in Camarillo. Whenever we visited, it just felt weird. It is very quiet and peaceful, like a library. You feel as though you have to move very slowly and speak in a whisper. My wife and I were both old enough to live there. Actually, my wife did for a year when her parents got too old to take care of themselves. I never felt that it was a place where I wanted to live.

    On that front, how old is too old to have a kid? I'm gonna be 44 in June and my longtime gf and I have discussed it. She'd want to get married first (which is another issue; I didn't like being married the first time).

    I would like to have more kids. I already have an 8 1/2 year old daughter. But the thought of being 67 or so when the kid graduates from college isn't very attractive.

    Make sure you tell her that. They love hearing that.
