50 today, what the hell happened!! Scary how time flies the older you get! I was a fresh faced 31 when I joined here!!

Could be worse, you could be me, and it would be you turning 60 :)

Didn't Einstein prove that time moves faster the closer you get to the end? Just turned 60 myself. It's pretty horrifying.

When I was 25 I thought that everyone over 30 was ready for the bone yard. Now that I am 64 even 80 doesn't seem that old to me!

Embrace it! There are many advantages to aging.

quote: ORIGINAL: wodin Thanks. Times like this I think of friends and family no longer here including forum members like Parusski I wish that I could tell you that it gets any easier, but it doesn't. It seems like every month I get word of somebody passing, it happens all too frequently these days. Years ago, I was working with a grizzled WWII air force veteran. He kept two sheets of names and dates, one listing people he knew who had serious medical emergencies and the other listing those that died. I thought it was a bit depressing, but now I know that was just how he never forgot to remember his buddies from time to time. Oh, happy birthday!

MrsWargamer -> RE: AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!! (8/3/2021 5:47:39 PM)
I made a key decision at 50. It involved among other things ditching my old self. You've heard of second childhood, I went back mentally, even if not physically. I have no plans to be an adult ever again. I recommend it. Adulthood is not worth anything. Been there and I know from experience. If I seem immature, great, it means a lot to me that I don't seem mature. Immature is not the insult some want it to be. Time does seem to speed up as you age. Actually, I was so successful, that I managed to reset that clock. Time has actually slowed down again. It is of course speeding up in the usual fashion. Everything in 2014 seemed to go a lot slower but I was only 2 at the time. I'm 9 currently. It feels weird some days. But I don't really mind. You probably think I'm kidding, I'm not. Yes, I agree, I sound quite smart for a 9 year old. It's ok. Now if you don't mind, it's time to go and play. I'm building a model of a Tamiya 72nd scale Mosquito FB Mk IV/ NF MKII. I think I'm going to watch the Bourne movies as well. Never trust adults. Never trust anyone that doesn't talk to teddy bears. And never trust anyone with no active imagination. Best part of being a kid again, I don't really need human opponents for my wargames. I can play against my toys (and they don't cheat :) ).

I'm just shy of 70 by almost two years. If I make it that far I will let you know what it feels like. But, I am sure that an eighty year old will tell us that they would take seventy again? RR

DD696 -> RE: AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!! (8/3/2021 9:55:16 PM)
I'm 24.6 years older, at least older than your ties! But, I just served my country for almost 10% of my life. Therefore, I know nothing.

OldSarge -> RE: AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!! (8/3/2021 10:01:54 PM)
I have a car in my garage older than 50 and younger than me. [8D][:D] [image]local://upfiles/36656/87E4CC5B5D0A4B65A8A31DEEEFAB4486.jpg[/image]

DD696 -> RE: AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!! (8/3/2021 10:07:02 PM)
Well, mine is a 1960 Corvette, but it is 13 years older than I. I am ashamed to say, that from the first moment I saw a Corvette, I was hooked. I bought it in 1978, may God and Matrix forgive me. There is no other love than Corvette.

AndySfromVA -> RE: AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!! (8/3/2021 10:24:01 PM)
I remember playing my first wargame, "Broadsides", when I was 14. That was 57 years ago.

DD696 -> RE: AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!! (8/3/2021 10:52:17 PM)
Maybe a picture... [image]local://upfiles/12832/FD87E925C1074F0A9832EA7C10D48FB2.jpg[/image]

DD696 -> RE: AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!! (8/3/2021 10:54:49 PM)
No thanks to the matrix forums, it worked.

wodin -> RE: AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!! (8/4/2021 1:45:25 PM)
Thanks all:)

Happy birthday!

Happy 50th Dude! PS Welcome to the club...lol

jwarrenw13 -> RE: AAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHH!! (8/4/2021 5:23:22 PM)
In my younger days I never thought I would see 50. I could not imagine it. Now I'm at 67+ and going strong. You'll be surprised. Think young.
