What do you feel "too old" for?

[tapu]

I am not feeling too kindly toward this topic right now.... I JUST got an email from AARP. Excuse me, but when is that supposed to start???

[JAGG]

The only thing I think I'm too old for, is being pushed in a baby stroller. Other than that I'm game for everything, where do I sign? What time does the plane leave? Let's go !! Will there be music and fireworks?

[Rockinonahigh]

As long as my body holds up ,even tho it has its problms,im readyto do what ever I want to do..age whats that?

[Soft*Silver]

I dont know if I am too old for, or just too banged up for, things. I cant garden like I use to. But thats ok. I dont eat like I use to, so smaller gardens are good.

I cant eat like I use to. Not just smaller amounts but I also cant eat spicy things, heavy meats or sauces, milk products and items known to create high cholestral.

I cant love like I use to. I am way too guarded and damaged.

I just wonder.... Could theOddz, Anya, and I have ever met up? I hit those bars in every town you named.

Think back:

I tended bar at the Flame for about a year and a half.
I tended bar at the Dinah Shore open, can't remember what year.
I worked door guard at the Boom-Boom Room, wearing a vintage leather jacket. (Laguna Beach, mostly men's bar. Had full aquariums under the bar so that when you leaned your elbows on it, you were staring down at tropical fish! Hard to forget that....)

Does any of this ring a bell? Probably not, but it would be cool if so.

Hey, I wonder if AARP ever holds any parties there....

I was thinking about this earlier today, Theoddz posted about driving up from Pendleton 79-81 to go to Peanuts. We could have been dancing side by side and never knew it!

I was the femme wearing my hair in a big afro-type 'do (I thought it would be a good idea to get a perm though my hair is naturally curly) dancing with the Greek beauty with hair down to her waist!

Tapu, looking at your avatar I couldn't recall If I had seen you though I did go to the Boom Boom Room several times.

Hey, last I heard and saw, the Flame is still there, tho it wasn't when I was running around back then. I think it came a few years later. There was also The Box Office, which is also no longer there. Does anyone remember a bar called "Hoop's Coop" in Garden Grove?? It was a small place with a pool table or two and a lot of dykes!!

No wonder bar hopping to/from lesbian bars in San Diego, back in the late 70's and 80's had us all out all night....hell, all weekend!!! We used to cap it off with softball games in Balboa Park on Sunday afternoons, complete with picnic lunches.

Oh, and I'm too old for arm wrestling matches with the Navy women. We Women Marines used to do that back then, but I'm too old for that now.

Love this thread... I'm too old to go out dancing to all hours of the night. A few weeks ago (thanksgiving weekend), I got a little cabin fever and decided to get the butch and go out to Mango (a women's dance that takes place from 3-7p.m. on a sunday). I haven't been to it prior but heard it was fun and it was at the El Rio, which has an outdoor area. i called a couple of friends that are close to our age. lol... we were out on the patio watching the kids dance (yes, they looked like they were 12) and I was thinking, "I feel like a chaperone at a high school dance" and about the same time i was thinking it, my friend said it out loud. We left shortly thereafter.

Anyways, I don't think I'm too old for a lot of things especially good fashion - I refuse to wear an old lady dress and flats. I don't care, it's not happening regardless.

I can not longer keep working when I get sick. I use to work right through it and just deal. Now I am so tired and can't keep my eyes open all day or even sit at a computer or talk on a phone. Yikes it stinks getting older sometimes. LOL

[kittygrrl]

bullshit..........and all that, that implies

[deb_U_taunt]

I am too old to be naive enough to believe that 'just a drink at your place ' really is 'just a drink at your place'.

I am too old to be in a relationship that would deserve the facebook status 'it's complicated'.

I am too old to believe you only get to love once.

Mind Games...

[RockOn]

silly games gamers play

[Gayandgray]

I'm seriously too old for head games and drama.

[kittygrrl]

thinking about the good ole days in college when a cup of soup was dinner..wow a long while ago

[kittygrrl]

if you remember them, you are definitely getting salty!

[theoddz]

Okay, I'm NOT too old to think back on those days Anya/Georgia and Tapu were talking about!! I was stationed at Camp Pendleton from '79 to '81 and I remember staying out all night (on the weekends) and partying at those places like (San Diego) The Apartment, The Club (Laurel/Kettner), Diablo's (El Cajon Blvd), The Brass Rail, etc. In LA, it was Peanuts and in Long Beach, Que Sera. Oh, and there was this wonderful little bar in Palm Springs called "Aunt Hatties". We used to drunk line dance there, which is something I am waaaaay too old to do now.

Oh, and I'm too old and crippled to disco dance anymore, and I used to do that much better after a couple of shots of JD, chased with a few beers. I'm too old to drink like that anymore, too. In fact, I take too many meds to drink at all, these days.

...and I'm waaaaaaaayyyy (and crippled) to run a Marine Corps physical fitness test now. I used to run those hung over. Ugh.

Those were the days!!!

But.....I ain't too damned old to remember...and still enjoy this, which I had on 8-track and used to listen to in my '78 Camaro:



Thanks for the stroll down memory lane!!

I was at the grocery and stopped tpo have bread sliced. The oly one in the bakery was Sue. who does the cake decorations....She had 6 cakes lined up for the day. She told me that Saturday was a killer - she had 15 to do before 3 pm!

We talked for a few minutes about all our ailments, surgeries and tried to refer each other to the best ortho, best neuro, best back doc.

I am too old to play softball any longer, as I played the catcher position. No way can I squat for 2-3 hours and expect to stand for longer than 20 minutes!

But I can still find my way around a dance floor for a few 2 steps and sing karaoke until the cows come home! And "jello legs" are appropriate, but few and far between....*wink*
