My new ophthalmologist went to the high school I taught at. She started grade 10 two years after I retired. She finished high school, did an undergrad degree, did med school, and then residency (four years). I must be old!
Any way you look at it you are old - FFS your father was in a war that ended 105 years ago.

Never forget having to call my old man at the assisted living and give him down the road for propositioning the young ladies on staff. "They are going to kick you out if you keep it up, Dad." He was 93 at the time. "So you were the one chosen to bell the cat, were you?" was his reply. He knew my siblings would ask me to do it.

Question: What's the difference between a surgeon and God?

Answer: God doesn't think he's a surgeon.
I know a surgeon socially. That's quite accurate.
Korean?
Small hands?
Not Korean, but my old doc on Long Island had small young lady PA. She was doing my annual physical and when got the point of the old prostate check she asked me if I wanted the doc to do it. I told her "no, you have smaller fingers" 🤣

53. Three people retiring and thus suddenly becoming the old person at work is forcing me to accept this reality.
For me, it was when I went to a thrift store to buy a stationary power tool they'd advertised on Craigslist. It was a great deal and I was thrilled I was able to jump on it before it got snatched up.

At the checkout, the woman asked me if I was 55 or older, in which case I qualified for their "Senior Tuesday" 25% discount. It turned a great deal into a screaming deal but it was also the worst best news I'd gotten in a long time.

One of the retirees was 89, Now nobody gets references to Monte Python, Mel Brooks movies or Blues Brothers. Fortunately classic rock endures.

71, but if the new hips go in as planned this year my average body age should come down much closer to my emotional age.

What I once could do all night,
Now takes all night to do once!

I'd love to know which evil little Boomer decided to make us all "seniors" ten years before our retirement age? Gotta be a trick in it somewhere.
