Ha, ha - - when I was growing up - in the '40's - I thought 21 was the end of the road.
Me, too! I had polio, measles, chicken pox, appendicitis, and probably some other things in addition to never wearing a helmet on a bicycle, and took some really bad crashes at high speeds downhill on a gravel road, not only NO seatbelts but we rode on the back of a flatbed truck (no sideboards or sidewalls like a pickup truck). I only fell off the truck going around a corner once. I fell out of trees, fell out of the hayloft in the barn, been attacked by roosters, bees, sows, and cows. Been bucked off a horse once, had a loose cinch drop me off a horse once, only been kicked by a horse once, bitten more times than I can remember, and never expected to make it to the age of 21.
AND NOW . . . I'm the oldest living human in my family on both my Dad's side and my Mother's side.:laughing:

At first I thought Bird knew my history and revealed it here. All the same things happened in my life except the polio. And I'm sure the same statement applies to quite a few of us over 60.
And Moss, We didn't think it was funny at the time.
