Mental age

[savarin]

How old do you still think you are?
Not how old do you feel but the internal age you seem to use to work out if you can do something you used to do effortlessly but dont find out you cant till tomorrow.
I'm 70 but convinced I'm still 27 so I keep getting caught out.

The wife says my mental age is seven.

 

[RJSakowski]

I will be 75 in just over a month. I have come to the stark realization that the things I used to do thirty years ago take twice to three times as long now. No more fourteen hour days. Six to eight is more the norm. But to compensate, the aches and pains come along twice as fast.

At nearly 75, it is a familiar refrain ---

 

[Bob Korves]

At 68, I am catching up fast, and not just in years...

 

[Nutfarmer]

No more 12 hour shifts. I have a hard time with eight hours days

Wisdom is:
At the age 22, I tried to impress the gals. They ignored me.
At the now age72. I don't try to impress the gals. Now that I know that they will ignore me.

I'm 30 going on 67 until I try to do things I did at 30. Then I feel like 90.

Physically? 75 years and 1 day.
Mentally? I’m a freakin’ genius because I can read at such a young age.
