On this day too, (and just for information, you understand), Boris Karloff wsa born, (1887), Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was hanged (1910) -- (no fun day for him !) and the first Dr. Who was televised in 1963 ! Have a great day, Tom, and may those grey, Smethwick skies clear soon ! Best wishes, Tel Post Extras:       Maverick199 Postmaster Reged: 02/27/11 Loc: India Re: Happy Birthday, Haytor !

I should have thought about that. The trouble is, like my birthday cake, is that if you have it large enough to fit 54 candles on it, it makes the cake so large that you can't lift it!

I'll be 73 Dec 29 (I think - don't celebrate the danged things much anymore). Oh, and I'm always telling folks NOT to tell me I'm only as old as I feel!!

Seriously, that point made by Tom ( as old as he / she feels ) got me thinking as I keep hearing this a lot.

Seriously, I'm 70 and feel very good. I think its a state of mind as much as anything else. You either sit around worrying about it, or get on with living and enjoying your life. The end result is the same for all, so to me, its a no brainer. Regards. Peter. Post Extras:       Maverick199 Postmaster Reged: 02/27/11 Loc: India Re: Happy Birthday, Haytor !

[Re: hopskipson]       #5544079 - 11/28/12 03:23 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Yeah, I never act my age either. At least I think that's the case. What age am I supposed to act? At my age, I just let it happen! If the folks around me don't like it, they'll get over it. Haseeb, in a serious vein, I started feeling the age thing at around 50. You know, hurting a little in the mornings and a few other things that shouldn't be mentioned on an open forum. It has progressed somewhat since then, but not to the point where I just want to lie down and die! In fact, I feel pretty well most of the time. The thing is, I don't think you notice the age thing creeping up on you so much. But when you look back, you can tell it's been happening. For example, when I was 50, I was running a couple of miles a day and working out regularly. Still work out but not as vigorously and I stopped running about 10 years ago. The old back ain't what she used to be so I pay lots of attention to that. So, life doesn't end at 50, but it starts downhill about then.

Tom, It's not the answer you need to figure out (yes, it is indeed 42) - it's the question! Art PS Personally, I think it is 42 because Douglas Adams was a big cricket fan (also remember the planet Krikkit?) and these links may explain... http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_rules_are_in_cricket and http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Krikkit A PPS Personally Skip, I feel that it was downhill for me after I hit 30 a long slow decline until 40, then the hill suddenly got a heck of a lot steeper!
