My birth year set is 1970...but I feel like I've been around since 1790

You pay for what you get but don't always get what you paid for.
You got your loupe turned around the wrong way.
The older I get...the harder it is to see.
But The older I get...the more there is that I want to look for.
The older I get the more time I spend looking around for the glasses I have on.

The older I get, I find myself enjoying butterscotch and root beer barrel hard candy.
The older I get the more I realize that I need not let the little things bother me... like parking lot finds.
You apparently have never shopped in our Wal Mart.
My Masters Thesis was a computer program........ before computers had keyboards, monitors, mice, or Windows. !!!

I remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, clear as day. Oh yeah! "I'm so old...…."
I'M so old GOD looked upon the planet and said" Should I call it Earth or Bob, Nah I already have a Bob". I'm older than dirt.

It's not that life is short but you're dead for too long!
Anything that you want to say about eyeglasses is likely to hit home... hard.
The older I get the worse my memory works (sometimes convenient excuse when my wife is annoyed with me for all kinds of things)
"Oh I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now"
Like the song lyrics say- " I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger"- Ooh La La
The more snowflakes I encounter...
I find myself saying "Why did I come in here?" a lot and I'm only 39. I'm so doomed.

The older I get, the better I was. Old guys rule!
And I've got the t-shirt to prove it. It's sorta become my philosophy on life...
The older I get the more I wish I would have bought more nice early material when I was younger.

The older I get the more I think of my own physical well being and my peace of mind. I'm not as reckless and self-destructive as I once was. I want security and I care less and less about what other people think.

The older I get, the less my gas stinks. And the more the wifey disagrees.
"Youth is wasted on the young."

Live healthy and it adds 10 years to your life. At the wrong end. It would be nice if it was 10 more years of the 20's or 30's.
It surely beats the alternative.

Yeah, give up drinking, smoking, sweet food, salty food, fatty food, driving fast, action sports, and all other risky behavior, and ya might be rewarded with another boring decade of decrepitude at the end.

Keeping this coin related, I'm old enough to remember being able to get silver dollars at the bank, most of the Wheat cents I got in change were still (MS) bright with mint luster, half dollars were still common in circulation but Buffalo nickels and Standing Liberty quarters were getting hard to find in change. And $2 bills were still used, all with the corners torn off for good luck!
My ideal Friday or Saturday night would be to party until the sun came up.
Now, my ideal Friday or Saturday night is being in bed before the sun goes down.
The older I get, the dumber I get. Afterall, I was pretty sure I knew EVERYTHING when I was 18....
I also remember, 42 years ago, getting my first bicentennial half dollar in 1976. At that time, to me, a 42 year old coin from 1934 was borderline ancient. Now I look at a bicentennial quarter and think it was yesterday.

The older I get.......
The faster I ran as a boy ......
Doesn't quite work that way. Eat organic non processed, salt free foods, ditch the smoking and get some exercise every day and you will feel way better for your whole life. If you make it to 90 plus you won't be hunched over like Quasimodo.
Sad to see folks falling apart in there late 40's and fifties.
Sorry to derail the thread,
This seems to be the story of my life...sorta, kinda, in a way...not really...I just like the song;

What? Huh? speak up,I can't hear you!
It depends on what those last ten years are like.
The older I get the more I realize how stupid and naive I was in my youth.
Agree with that 100%... My gosh, if I could go back to my 20's with just half of what I know now.
When I was your age I had to walk 6 miles to school...uphill both ways !
The older I get,
The more I remember what things used to cost.
At least you had shoes.
I'm usually the last to know but the first to pay.
