1 month from today we'll be returning from 8 days in Jamaica.  The next day (15th) I hit the big 60....How did I get to be 60 years old...would somebody please answer that for me?

Yes, I am young at heart...don't feel 60, and don't quite look it.   Jamaica is beautiful...was there a few years ago and cannot wait to return...only this time spend more time watching sunsets (and probably more time worrying about our 20's daughters) and enjoying the beauty.

I'm 28 & I feel like the oldest person I know.
I heard someone say you have to get old in order to be young I liked that!
. Besides, Jamaica are you kidding sounds pretty nice!
And you sound young at heart!

Hi there,on the age thing i think it's slowley but surley.I know it really does creep up on you:)

[PromisedLand]

Yes, Sara it gets VERY old...and I'm reminded of it quite frequently.  Even my therapist doesn't know what how to deal with it...I frequently hear of incidents that took place 10 years ago AND I WASN'T EVEN LOOKING AT WOMEN!  I was sitting in the ocean on Cable Beach in Nassau just taking in the scene of the hotel and beach and all the stuff because we were leaving next day....to this day she doesn't believe me but I swear that's what I was doing..she's convinced I want to jump in the sack with every woman I see.

Bruce Springsteen has a similar song as well...


Thank you for that, Mangee..

I love that!!!

That has to get old.  Sounds like momma has some insecurity issues.  Reminds me of the Poison song....You can look but you cant touch!!!  Seems to me that is only a normal human thing to do is LOOK!!!

The same way I will be 84 next month. Day by day, month by month and year by year. When you get to be my age every second counts.When I get up in the morning I look in the mirror and if the face I see is mine I know I am probably good for another day.

Where did all those years go that made me very old?
Where was I looking that allowed the days to unfold?
I didn't see my childhood pass or even my middle years,
I was much too busy being me, I really had no fears,

Now that I am 84 and life is almost done,
I don't regret a single day though things I knew are gone.
Am I worried as the day dawns when the reaper calls?
You can bet your a _ _I am, I just dont have the balls.

I may pretend that I am brave, and show a smiling face,
But underneath as Reaper comes  my heart will start to race.
So what I'll do as he begins to draw ever so near,
I'll tell him what I he can do with death, just shove it in his ear.

I'm just a man who just won't go, He's making a mistake,
Instead of grabbing my poor soul, my apology he can take.
I don't have time to leave this world, I'm having too much fun,
So when the time comes and it will, I'll put him on the run.

I'd gladly take you to Jamaica but since I constantly get yelled at for looking at other women, I suspected that BRINGING another woman may not get a very warm reception.

But it certaily would be a fun conversation.
