At exactly 51.

Now sadly senility starts at 52, so, not a big window where you don't have to be careful

I don't know. I'm 75 but it hasn't kicked in yet.

Now, hold my beer and watch this...........

 

[gsganzer]

I'm 54, soon to be 55. I do believe it kicked in during the past year or so. I used to do things that may have put me at risk. However, I do find myself slowing down and thinking the whole thing through with the application of proper PPE, bracing etc.

I've actually been better than that and regularly use eye, ear and other PPE. But I guess as I get older, I find myself stepping in when I see others that might be putting themselves at risk. I've also gotten better at doing this is a constructive way. I think that's important for all of us, as we get older.

Holy crap! I'm starting to sound like an old dude!

I have that question asking tee-shirt.

When it takes a second try to get it to not hurt.

 

[MutantGenepool]

The second after "shoulda known better".

 

[Thomas]

Right after...Damn that hurt.

 

[newbury]

When you can instantly calculate the pain will be greater than the gain.

 

[old and tired]

Maybe Next Year...

.But I doubt it!!!

Realize it everyday, but the problem is like everything else I have forgotten it the next day.

 

[Bird]

I'll have to admit that I don't know at what age it might kick in. I'm only 81 and it hasn't kicked in yet.

I think my parents started saying that the day I was born.

 

[bigtiller]

If there's no lesson in the second kick of the mule, why do they kick twice?

 

[ruffdog]

...just in case the first one misses?

 

[MoKelly]

If there's no lesson in the second kick of the mule, why do they kick twice?

Cause they are stubborn as a - well - mule?

Do not know the answer to the question, but I just did something I knew not to do, told myself not to do it, but did not listen to myself...

If I could just remember what it was I did, that I was not supposed to do...

Later,

If you have to ask, you're not old enough.

 

[SoCalRedTractor]

I've always heard it as "old enough to know better, too young to resist", it has applied to one or 2 specific topics for me.

In general, still figuring it out - hopefully, getting a SCUT and having never operated anything other than a car, won't take me to learning it the hard way, but, guessing there may be some forthcoming "lesson learned" events in my future.
