Re: The Middle Aged Thread ...
I can remember having a stoned discussion when I was about 25 that it was going to be cool to be old but that the middle- aged could never be anything but despicable. Thankfully good genes and expensive dentists have so far saved me from the horror.

Re: The Middle Aged Thread ...
In many ways, I much prefer my middle age to my very earnest, intense and suffocating youth.
It creeps up on you almost unnoticed, the laughter lines and the narrowing of certain options, generally the ones to do with changing your career and reinventing yourself as a best selling author, or comedy scriptwriter, but on the other had, if you're lucky and sane, you accumulate wealth, a family of your own and you command respect in career and elsewhere. You have presence that youth lacks, I highly recommend it.

Re: The Middle Aged Thread ...
I'm 33 but feel like I may as well be 53, or 83. I have more in common and get along better with my neighbors that are in their 70s than I do most of the people I know that are around my age. I'm fast becoming a real fuddy duddy.

Re: The Middle Aged Thread ...
I'm forty-two, and I still can't get over the fact that the people who were being born while I was graduating high school can buy liquor now.
I just doesn't seem that long ago. i'm older than most of the people playing in the NFL. I'm older than many famous celebrities. I'm even older than a lot of politicians, and yet I still feel like a kid.
Overall, it seems to be going pretty well, other than some physical complaints. Like WM, I've always felt closer to people older than myself, so I like to think I had a good head start on getting older.

Anyone experience the so-called midlife crisis?

I'd better get on that success and power thing then. The gay guy in my office apparently really loves my gray. Always comments on it.

Of course, the definition of power and success can vary from indviduals, but rest assured, or not, that is what they're all after.

I could give a crap about going grey. I almost wish it would just go ahead and hurry up. The sooner I can look like Harpo the better.
