when
When you are laying in bed at 10:55 central time watching TV waiting for the ball to drop in NY and you fall asleep.
Happy New Year to all our RV friends. We flew the kids and grand kid to lunch at the Hard 8 BBQ on Friday. Expect to get out this week as the forecast in N TX looks great for the week.

Old - not
You are old when you begin to use your 'advanced age' as an excuse for ????? Or when you begin sentences by saying 'I'm xxx years old and bla, bla. Or you misspell a word on the VAF and you don' give a dxxm.
I'm never going to get 'old'.  |

Think of the alternative.
"Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional."
I'm 827 months old, but I refuse to grow up!

I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend "That's us in 10 years."
