maddmaxx ★ Posted August 17, 2018 Share #3 Posted August 17, 2018 One doesn't have to have official recognition to be old. It's better to be sneaky old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted August 17, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 17, 2018 76? That would give me 12 more years before reaching that status. I say bump it up to 80. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted August 17, 2018 Share #5 Posted August 17, 2018 Umm probably not. You are too active to be considered old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted August 17, 2018 Share #6 Posted August 17, 2018 76 always reminds me of the bicentennial when I was a kid. All the build up to celebrate the 200th birthday of America on the 4th of July that year. It was also my last year in Oklahoma and my last year of being a kid, not a teen ager. So, no, I will not think of you as old, I will think of you as extra patriotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted August 17, 2018 Share #7 Posted August 17, 2018 My dad said, "I thought 60 was old until I turned 60. Then I thought 90 was old until I turned 90." When he was 90 he was in better health and more active than may 60 yos. He died from complications of a hip fracture at the age of 95. You are hardly old at 76, just experienced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping you could say he passed in bed with two hookers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted August 17, 2018 Share #9 Posted August 17, 2018 What do you mean "officially?" Does this mean we no longer have to talk behind your back? Psssss...you know that sheep_herder guy. Dang is he old! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted August 17, 2018 Share #10 Posted August 17, 2018 Do you feel old? You make me tired thinking of how hard you work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted August 17, 2018 Share #11 Posted August 17, 2018 The defining question is.... are you older than Paige. If yes, then yes. If no, than no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_photog ★ Posted August 17, 2018 Share #14 Posted August 17, 2018 You only have 8 years on me so you aren't old. Once you are 10 years ahead of me you will be old I suggest you never get 10 years ahead of me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted August 17, 2018 Share #15 Posted August 17, 2018 If you play the old age card, you will be old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted August 18, 2018 Share #17 Posted August 18, 2018 Never. I'd feel bad if an "officially" old person had that much more energy and a heavier schedule than I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share #18 Posted August 18, 2018 Thanks for all your kind words. I feel a bit older tonight after working most of the afternoon placing a tarp on a hay stack. I think the high temperature was 95F, and thus I stopped several times to hydrate. I think that I used about 5 sweat bands, having to wring the last one out twice before I finished. Now it will probably not rain tomorrow, and everybody will blame me.? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want it to rain go out and cut 150 acres of hay. Years ago it used to be 15 acres but with modern equipment inflation has hit the rain market too.

No. You've kept your health, sir, and you live out of the chaos in beautious Montanious. Keep your long johns on in the winter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted August 19, 2018 Share #23 Posted August 19, 2018 I am guessing you can kick the average 30 year olds butt so, no, no I won’t consider you old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
