I am a antique...a relic... ancient.. carcass has lots of miles..body dinged up..brain thingee still works pretty good... i reckon i aint ready for the pasture yet...
You didn't say how old you are, unless the 57 means the year you were born. In that case you are not an antique! I know what you're saying though about your carcass lol, mine has a lot of miles too. I'm 56 but sometimes I feel 96 with all these cracking, popping bones/joints. Let's see, I have arthritis, in need of two knee replacements because of the arthritis and no cartilage left (hereditary), high BP, high cholesterol and high triglycerides but I'm working on all of it.
So until we're 96 I guess we can't really complain, even though I just did.
I'm old enough to remember when U.S. postage stamps cost 3 cents, a loaf of bread, a quart of milk or a gallon of gas were 25 cents and you could buy a candy bar or make a local call in a phone booth for 5 cents.

Wasn't there someone on CD complaining that we were ALL over 60 years old
Should I say I'm old enough to know better and young enough to still have fun or is it the other way around?
I can tell the younger ones that I remember we only had 3 tv stations and either sibling was close enough to reach out and change the station for dear old Dad and that those stations went off the air around midnight I think that they would then think of me as some kind of fossil.:but oh well.

The National Anthem was played, and the Indian-head test pattern was the bitter end. Then mom would yell at dad for letting me fall asleep on the couch while he watched the late movie on Friday or Saturday night. It was usually Friday, because he was still pretty tense from the week at work, and I was recuperating from a week at school.
