Have you ever said that, or been guilty of looking at others your own age
and thinking, surely I can't look that old.
well....
you'll love this woman's story.
I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist.
I noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name and suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago.
Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?
Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School.
'Yes. yes, I did. I"m a mustang,' he gleamed with pride.
'When did you graduate?' I asked.
'In 1975. why do you ask?'
'You were in my class!', I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely.
Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat ass, gray-haired, decrepit
son-of-a-bitch asked,
'What did you teach ???'

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

Ain't that the way! Twenty some years ago, when I switched doctors to one closer to home, he announced "You are older than me". Turns out only by a few months. I also noticed that his (and his partners) waiting room seemed to be full of old people. Still seems that way and a lot of them are the same people. Hopefully he will keep us going that long too!
Guys have this insanely huge ego!!
Hilarious!!
But I would have laughed harder if I hadn't been in school in 1975, myself... *snifff*
Hmmm... should I have a prowl through Facebook, looking up people who are still young in my memory?
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
LOL
That's hilarious... no doubt about it. Although the dentist was a pompous twit with an ego the size of Kansas, and the gracous manners of a hungry hyenna.
She graduated in 1975. And shes feeling old? Well...I feel MUCH better after reading that. Being one of the few fossils still standing who graduated when this woman and her fellow student were most likely two years old.
I have to lay down now...
Hahahahaha!! OH and I were talking about this just the other day. How other people our age somehow look so much older than we do ... LOL!
I'd have poked him with his own dental pic ;-)
What sheer gall! But it happens to me all the time, too, as I look much older than I am and much, much older than I feel.
Every day I say I'm getting to old for this sh.. but still manage to get back to work the next day.
I went to a Murray MacLachlin concert about a month ago while in Picton. As a single I got a front row seat. The theatre has a capacity now of 350. When the concert was over and I got up to leave I was over whelmed by the fact that everyone short of a handful of people were over grey haired or bolding and over sixty! It was very surreal. Thanks for the laugh.

We just returned from Yosemite. When we got on the valley shuttle one afternoon, some young men got up and offered my husband their seat. Later, on the trail a middle aged woman came up to him and said "I hope I can still be doing this when I am your age." He is 74 and wasn't sure how he felt about these encounters. He asked me "do I look that old". I don't think so but then, I'm not a kid myself.
