Way off topic - My life (very rough portrait)

[Horton]

My life:

10 years old: Wow that 15 year old dude is my hero.  I will never be that cool.

15 years old: Wow that 20 year old chick is so hot. I will never date a chick like that.

20 years  old: I am so freakn cool. I am totally indestructible.

25 years old: I wish I could stop looking at 15 year old girls.

30 years old: I wonder why everyone younger than me is so dumb.

35 years old: So what if I have a sports car? My 10 year old nephew thinks it is cool.

40 years old: Can anyone spare some ice and ibuprofen?

[jdarwin]

Im aiming by the time Im fifty to stop being an adolescent.

And add this:

50 years old:  everything that doesn hurt doesnt work!

[Horton]

At age 43? or 42? how old am I.... whatever.  I have finally learned that makeing fun of my self is golden and ibuprofen is priceless.

[ForrestGump]

We're glad you can join in with us to make fun of you Horton! With MS, he doesn't join in.

[Horton]

Yea but when we laugh at me it is a joke. All the stuff we say about MS is true.

[ForrestGump]

true that.

[Dirt]

You lonely already Horton Wait til next week when your wife is here..we r at Mikunis wo u.

[Dirt]

Brent, he can't answer. He is distraught. Bug Lady out of state this weekend. Here with me early next week. The guy is crushed.

[Horton]

It is a party at the Horton house. Just me and the dogs hanging out working on the web site.

[Jody_Seal]

Age 53! I may old but I am still imature!!!

Party At my house too!! Sold the 2010 Ski 200 this week!!!

[Ed_Obermeier]

You're all punks (except maybe Jody, you're not too far behind me). 55 1/2 and still kicking it!  And you're right about the ibuprophen John...

Ed

[Razorskier1]

Four shoulder surgeries, two knees, one ruptured biceps tendon (also a surgery), and one ruptured disc later I think ibuprofen is really, really good -- cuz I'm still skiing!

[Guest]

Almost 58. Ibuprofen is priceless.

 

1. You are only as old as you act.

 

2. Age is a state of mind. (mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter)

 

3. If it's too loud, you're too old.

 

4. Wait later! Ibuprofen is priceless.

 

5. Party at the Seal residence. Did I mention that Ibuprofen is priceless.

 

Sorry Ed! keep on kicking it!

You the man Ham!  Mark one up for us (still in damn good shape) old guys.  Keep kicking it!

I took 4 ib while I read Ham's comments

To slightly modify Ham's comment #3:

If its not loud, I can't hear it.

If it isn't far away, I can't see it.

The three rules of growing old:

 

1. Never pass a washroom without using it;

2. Never waste an erection; and

3. Never trust a fart.

The Rules of Travel

 

1. Never whistle when you pack

2. Nothing drives like a rental

3. Never drink water when you can drink beer

4. What happens on the road stays on the road

5. Always come home Horny

[jwr]

I combined travel rule 3 & 5 and wound up with three kids. Screw ibuprofen, prednisone and steroid shots if you really want to feel good.

[Boody]

I couldn't ski today because when I bent over to empty the lawn mower bag, my lower back went on the fritz. Can barely stand straight. I did P90x all winter, I'm 39. Mid 70s today, this is BS.

 

Thanks for listening.

[jwr]

I did the same thing Tuesday night, but it was plugging my phone in. I had just done ab Ripper and chest and back a few hours before. Prednisone, heating pad, rum, and a hot tub and the help of a back brace I took two sets today. Back was a little sore afterwards but not bad. I'm 42, so with good drugs hopefully you can be skiing in a few days.

[UTWaterSki]

You have no idea how scary this thread is for a young person.

[Horton]

It beats a dirt nap but it can be a bummer

[Ham_Wallace]

For any skier! Especially jumpers.

[disland]

Took 2 jump sets and a slalom set. An hour later I was so tired I couldn't wait in line at the fast food joint and had to go sit down.

[ski6jones]

I torqued my back Sunday reaching into the cooler for a beer after one of my best sets of the year.

 

That just ain't right! I'll need a taller cooler cause lighter cans of beer sure won't work.

 

Ibuprofen and a couple days off, hope to be skiing again by Thursday. Oh yeah, 50 yrs old.

[Roger]

Hmmm, I'll be 58 this month. Survived everything so far...

Teens, speed roller skating (the 4 wheel kind of course).

20s, drag racing (66 Chevelle SS396 with a 460hp 427, 12.22 best on street tires)

20s, 4 motorcycles (Hondas = 550-4, 750-4, 1047-CBX 6, 900F-4, 900F-4, 1100F-4, two get-offs and one broken collarbone and probably from those, 2 cervical fusions)

20s, 1000 sport parachute jumps (two world records and several other skydiving firsts)

30s, marriage (still married to the same woman)

30s to today, skiing (this sport is hardest on the body, first slalom run in 87, first tournament in 89 in Men 3)

@utwaterski, you have no idea how scary this thread is for us old folks. At least you're not living it yet.

 

Grandma always said, "Getting old isn't for the weak"

If you want to wear your pants that low you have to earn the right. Get a belly, or pull 'em up!!!

[Horton]

Cracks me up that this thread is still alive....
