Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for February 26, 2021

If you don’t want the alternative, keep going.

Pretty soon you’ll “turn” 40.

Oh, no…you mean like soured milk?

Oh for heavens sake, wait til you’re 83. You think dang I’m still going strong, woo hoo!

Na na na na na na na Old Bat!

Don’t worry Aunty, when you reach 39 you start counting back down.

When the “Woo!” turns to “Woe!”, eh Aunty?

I don’t agree, I think you’re as old as you feel. Besides I don’t like the alternative to aging.

I have always been happy to be whatever age I am. I had a lot of good things happen in my past life, but I wouldn’t go back. I’ve had a lot of bad things happen in my past life and it would not be worth going back to undo them; I’d probably lose a lot of wisdom if I did.

I guess I’m wait wait old.

There are a whole lot of years missing after 38.

Stand still. Can’t stop a moving target too easily.

I don’t mind the “getting older” part…it’s the failure of the body’s parts that really bug me.

Well I felt old at 20 & I am in my mid-50’s & counting, so,,….

68 years – Alright already!

When it stops, so do you.

Growing old? There is good news: it doesn’t last!

some people aren’t fortunate to get older. i am 71 and glad for each day i wake up and get to see a new day!

If you don’t die, everyone you know does.

What j.l.farmer said just above. I’m a leading edge Baby Boomer (Born early ’47- birthday in less than 2 weeks). Still physically and mentally active and enjoying life.

39 – “Jack Benny had the right idea!”

I sent a link to this to my oldest child. She turns 37 this year!

Funny, you look a lot older. [Ducking now]

You hit 40 and you say, wow I’m 40 and your wife says no that was 10 years ago, so I’m 50, no now your 70. Yea it goes fast enjoy the ride.

I had my “mid-life” crisis when I was 35! I figured that 1/2 my life was over and just couldn’t face that one birthday! This year I’ll be 72 and loving life. LOL

60: If I’d known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.

Hmmm….I don’t know. Teen age years, 20’s, even some of my 30’s…..no way would I want to go through any of that again. I’m 48 now. I’d say starting at 39, this has been the best time of my life! I am in better shape, I can do many yoga poses I couldn’t when I was younger, I have been brave and moved across the country to a place that makes me happy, with a good guy….yes…..not wanting to go back. NO THANKS.
