When am I an "Old Codger"?
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 57 Replies
Its not so long ago I was a Uni student, well a mature Uni student. I could outwit, outrun, study better and longer, get up earlier, remember more things, dress younger than all my fellow students. The only thing I could not do was out drink them..........never been able to do that.........lightweight :lol:

I have met many 30 year olds who are older than me;.....you get to be an old codger when you act like one...and that could be 25

About 12 years ago, newly divorced I decided to get back in the dating game. Went out with a nice man, same age as me. I have never been so bored in my life, he did'nt do sport, like decent music, modern clothes, rude jokes, modern furniture, drinking etc you name it he did'nt like it. He definately was an old codger, not a spring chicken like me. Your so right age is just a state of mind. Traded in for a younger model with all the same ideals as myself.

11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

12. You stop trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the
room.

13. You sing along with elevator music.

14. Your eyes won't get much worse.

15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather
service.

either.

18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.


19. You can't remember who sent you this list.

I would like to think I will be able to ski for many, many more years, perhaps by then I will be really competent But that will all depend if the nursing home let me out for hols, I have remembered to take me pills, sorted me incontinence out, arranged to have me zimmer frame attached to my ski's. Had me catarracts done, my hips and knees as well. Yes I'm sure I will be able to do it, just not so fast. :lol:

Well what do you know, read in the local paper that the Reef will be delayed being finished for another year. Due entirely to bad weather. What bad weather, run out of money more like

Although I would put a lot of trust in my instructor, I still think I would know my own capabilities and if it did not feel right to me I would'nt do it. But its so difficult to say until you are in that position.
