You are only as old as you feel, so just get out there and do what you want and be happy!
Apart from you, you really are old... :-P

Happens to us all, was talking to a girl who had just left school, it suddenly occured to me I left school the year she was born:rolleyes:
I spent my best years getting drunk, listening to mad music and blowing all my cash:D:D:D
Youth is definitely wasted on the young!:p:p:p
I didn't have a mis-spent youth.................I saved it so I could mis-spend it now!
And am I having fun! :D

Hopefully this thread was posted tongue in cheek and apologies in advance if that was the case.................................
If not then we all need to put things in perspective - we at least have the chance to grow old, unlike some of those who have served in Afghanistan.
they say having kids keeps you young - Bri you had to prove that point over and over again didnt you.
I was feeling slightly ancient the other day. My daughter was looking at insurance for a car as she is 17 in january, then baby started shouting. It hit me like a truck, when baby is same age as daughter no 1 I will be 59 almost the same age as my mother is now.
Having 6 may keep me young but the Bank of Dad still sees far too many withdrawels.
Only two boys (22&24) still at home, and they are cheaper to keep than those who've flown the nest. - love 'em all to bits though!

Seriously? I don't think it's necessary to have a go at someone for feeling old, because some people are dead. There is no correlation.

Cheaper to keep? Heh, you're doing it wrong, you should be making profit out of it at their age :p

Ahh, forty two is nothing. When I was thirty I had a boy friend who was sixty and he was and still is the life and soul of the party. His own daughter was older than me, but we kept it quiet for a year so she would never find out. That was the most wild year of my life, I felt really dirty going away for illicit weekends with him. It was great.:smt081
Sadly we split up when I wanted something a little more stable and less about hotels. :-({|=
So my advice to you chaps out there in SV land, find a nice (or just plain dirty) young lass and go for broke. :smt028
42:(
42 ? pffft bloody kids, Im er.. 50 in Jan :D
