shut up. We alll know that you are immortal as wall as immoral.

42? Dang, you are old. Almost the same age as one of my kids.

Hang in there, social security is just around the corner.....well, maybe.

Be prepared for the engine to start missing. Starts to happen during your 40's

Just a couple of comments.

My beard is fully grey, and I have some grey in hair, but I do still have a full head of hair.

If I lost 80 lbs, I could damn near get in and out of the house without opening the door.

My job is physically demanding, and I suck down Aleve like candy these days to deal with the aches and pains.

I thought it was "Youth is wasted on the wrong people" and it came from "It's a Wonderful Life".

I hardly ever post around here anymore, but I had to post a rely to your post. I agree with you 100%, so many people complain about what they don't have and forget about all they have, happiness doesn't come from material possessions alone.

Make it last!!!!

I'm 45, full head of gray hair, and never felt better. **** age. I'll do what I want to do until I'm done doing it. There is NOTHING that liquor and Advil can't take care of.

I am enjoying it. I love that when I tell people I'm going to be 50 in a couple of years they look shocked. I love that I look and feel better in my 40s than I have since my 20s. I love that I have found yoga, pilates, and strength training to supplement walking as an enjoyable program which I can stick to the rest of my life. I am physically stronger than I have ever been. Not that many people can say that as they approach the big 50 milestone.

It's relatively easy to look and feel great in your 20-30s. The challenge becomes looking good and feeling great for 40s and beyond.

I'll add that in my experience working with and around unfit people who are aging prematurely or even normally they are the ones who complain the most about getting old, have the most pain and aches, and have terrible lifestyle habits. They hoot and holler about how it sucks getting old and how they don't want to end up like their fat, old, and sedentary parents. Yet, their actions indicate they are headed that way sooner rather than later.

I'm almost to 31 and I have so much more than I ever thought I would have at this age. From about 20-26 it was all pretty much a blur and I never really had a plan or anything, other than party. What I also find interesting is that I found a woman who understands where I've come from, a place where the only real obstacles are the ones I had built for myself.

There was a point that I made a conscious decision to choose this path and not the other, and while it's been a struggle sometimes, I've got a great wife, a pretty sweet career in the field that I always wanted, and room for growth. I've got a titanium rod in my leg that bothers me from time to time, a few gray hairs, and a sinus cavity that I've kind of screwed up as a part of past decisions, but I wouldn't change a damn thing.

Still smoking, but I'm in pretty good shape, I've been running a 5k on lunch, 4 days a week and got my time down to 19:40 yesterday. Can't complain...

31? As in being able to legally drink for ten years? Sorry, young pup, that ain't old. Neither is 47 but if my 30s didn't suck so much I'd love to be an old 31 again. ROFLROFLROFLROFL

Never said I was old grandpa. But I'm a hell of a lot older than I've ever been. It's all relative, now back to you prune juice and Dr. Oz.

I remember when my Dad turned 40 I cried cause I thought he would be dead in a couple years. He is 80 now and looks better then me at 48.
I like the comfort of being who I am an not giving a **** what anybody thinks.
A life of simplicity...cut the wood...build a fire..play with the dogs...visit the kids

Well, I just turned 40 last month. I still hoop with some good ballers at the Y along with my 15 year old son and his best bud. I can hold my own but I can tell there are certain things that I'll never get back (i.e. - I'm not as quick off the dribble as I used to be), but I make up for a lot of it with my experience. Not too many aches and pains so far, though. I'm relatively healthy. Life is good.

I played my last 3 on 3 tournament a couple years ago when I blew out my ACL. I figured it was time to hang up the competitive bball shoes for good, and that I was never going to be what I once was in college. I'm good with that. I wanted to save my knee (what's left of it) to be able to snow ski with my kids.

This. I realized a long time ago that shit isn't coming back. I decided I wasn't gonna look like a clown like my step dad and other men with the hair ring around the bald top. Sometimes you just gotta say #$%^ it!
