Fifty Plus (50+) - Eight days and counting till I am legal.

Yep, only eight more days of 49, and then you all are in trouble.

I am wondering if there is anything I need to start prepping for to prepare for the big 5-0. Most of my hair is still with me and almost everything still works. Should I get in a box in case things start falling off? :twitchy:

Definitely, in eight days your hair will fall out and more things will begin to hurt. Hey, you've been posting illegally all this time. Shame on you youngster.;)

Merely practicing. I assure you, nothing was serious...

49'ers are coming out of the woodwork. Unixpro, now crtreedude. And that chip guy, let's just call him cowchip, was saying something about 9/11 & 50.

Welcome crtreedude to the club. Hope you have some liniment, you're going need it.

Vitamin I - the aging man's friend. Can be bought by the bucketfull without a prescription when you are 50.

Like cockroaches?

Your going to need a bigger mailbox. The AARP will be adding to your collection of mail. The days of just credit card offers will be over.

Do you have any unique flavors of pie in Costa Rica that you could offer up as part of your induction?

Keeping ones hair is easily done. All that it takes is a simple operation to eliminate the organs which produce the male hormones. There are few side effects. For instance, your beard will stop growing. Some guys miss shaving so they do their legs.

Every time that I see a man in our age group with a full head of hair, I wonder. If he shaves his legs, I KNOW.

Uh - I just noticed how much hair cowchip's avitar has.

If only I could get my beard and leg hair that same platinum color, I'd be golden...err platinum.

One of the true tragedies of living here is they don't know what pie even is, except that which is left by cows, of course...

And you all thought I lived in paradise, didcha?

You do know that with chippy and I joining the group, you are doomed...

Geez I didn't realize you were still so young!!! Anyway now that you are officially becoming middle age (I refuse to call 50 old), your posts are welcome here! Chip joining though... egads all sanity leaves...

I don't deal with junk mail, it goes straight into the trash. I don't even see it. And, the AARP can't find me down here, so I am safe. Bwahhh!!!!

You figured anyone who could be as grouchy as I can in P & R must be an old geezer...

I would say I am as young as I look, but with hair nearly white, I might have to join the 70+ group... at it isn't because I am a blonde, either. :rolleyes:

You do know that with chippy and I joining the group, you are doomed...

Yeah, right!

Let the falfalling begin.

In a battle of wits you're going to need a 2 to 1 numerical advantage. Isn't Zorro the kind of guy who brings a knife to a gunfight?

Yes they can, and no your not.

We don't engage in family fights, but we wish you and your brothers luck on settling your feud.
Which Wit brother were you again, Nit, Dim or Half?

That's what they all say, until that battalion of AARP paratroopers drops in for lunch.

None of the above. I'm Wry.

Dang, I forgot you was quadruplets! Guess my lack of memory is gonna make me fit right in with the rest of you diaper-wearing, fossilized buffet raiders.:o

Wrong again. I'm just a twin and my brother's name is Quick.

As for diaper wearing, you're the baby of this bunch?

Actually Stormcrowe is the baby, he don't turn to the fossilized side till December.

I wouldn't worry about anything falling off, my experience is more likely that family and friends may have a strong urge to decorate your workplace far beyond what you would consider necessary on the big five oh. :D

Stormcrowe and Zorro too. Look out fossils, the 59ers be takin over da old folks home and the buffet!

We will absorb you like the Chinese. No matter what you do, you will continue to get older..............and then one day you wake up and you are us.

So whens the colonoscopy? :lol::roflmao2:

"The Big Five-O"

Oh, the big five-o, Uh-oh, it hits you like a bomb
Your libido is waning and your memory is gone
You can well-nigh say goodbye to get-up-and-go
How-de-do, welcome to the Big Five-O

The things you used to do all night back when you was twenty
Still reappear and bring you cheer but twice a year is plenty
Your mind says "party" and your body says "whoa"
Grind your gums, here it comes, the Big Five-O

(Bridge)
You got sags of ever-growing size
You got bags underneath your eyes
You got a spare tire from all those beers
You got hair growing out of your eeeeears

You got a pain in the torso, achey-breakey bones
Dizzy spells and moreso gallstones
It hurts for a week whenever you stub your toe
Tough luck you can't duck The Big Five-o

(instrumental break leads to 2nd bridge)
You work less before you take a break
You play less. It's hard to stay awake
You put less strain upon your heart
The only thing you do more is faaaaart

YEOW, stay away from women, stay away from sports
Is your hair all grey and thinnin'? You bet your boxer shorts you better
Watch your diet, eat real slow
You got all you're ever gonna get, careful not to work up a sweat,
Don't get upset, take another tagamet, you're gonna regret you ever met
The Big Five-O

Hey, CRtreedude,

My brother-in-law lives in Costa Rica. Do you know him? :D

You never know, it is a small country after all...

Okay, the evil day has arrived. This group is now being polluted by the likes of me. To celebrate the day, instead of me chucking rocks out of a stream, I had the youngsters do it, explaining now that I am officially an old geezer, even though I am stronger than any of them, I am expected to be fragile.

This worked fine until we go talking about bike riding and it turns out that they think 2 kilometers is a long ride... and they know I do 80s. Oh well, I am the boss so I still supervised. :rolleyes:

That is not supervising- You have learnt one of the skills that comes with age- It is called Delegation.

Happy birthday by the way- and you will have to get a new trend started in Costa Rica now. Pie is a necessity on this forum for any true member so start delegating and train some-one to make one.

Hhhmmm, that first prostate examine perhaps! :D If you're like me you'll probably keep most of your hair at this point, in fact you may grow more but unfortunately it will start coming out your ears.

I just turned 50 on March 1st so I'm a newbie welcoming you in; the water is just fine. My wife told me this morning that I looked sexy as heck, so I jumped on my bike and peddled even harder on the way to work knowing that all those cycling miles had paid off.

Happy 50 to come.

Speaking of "prepping", read Dave Barry's article on getting a colonoscopy (http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/dave-barry/story/427603.html), and then get one. Welcome to the club!!

Hmmmm. After preping for a colonoscopy he might weigh so much less he'll have to rethink his tire air pressures..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREE!

Miss ya yesterday... was out touring a 55+ housing community to see if that would be a good place to live. Discoverer it's "too old" for me! I guess that's a good thing. ;)

Back in the fall, I decided I was tired of cutting my hair - or traveling into town to have it cut. So, now it is growing. It is long enough now to tie back in a pony tail, a little bit more and I am going to be Gandalf the White! (too little grey to be Gandalf the Grey...)

Thankfully, my wife loves it.

Good post George, I reluctantly scheduled mine a few minutes after your post. :thumb:

You're dead to me now, Fred...least till I fossilize myself in September. Save me a seat at the buffet.

Have not read the article, but to me, the prep was far worse than the actual exam.

I'm 46 and prefer this forum to the road forum....The stuff over there kinda makes me wonder about bike riders. A little scary actually.

We have around 12 horses, 4 of them less than 2 years old, does that count? I am a bit too big for a pony...

I am a bit too big for a pony...

A colonoscopy should be the rite of passage, into the 50+. Just don't post any Your Tube videos.

Don't you mean Bottle?
