What do you feel "too old" for?

[cara]

right now I feel too old for just about everything.

I am too old for...

fuckin stalker-ish clients who creep out my coworkers.
bomb threats and police parked outside my facility.
bull-s**t waiting periods in excess of 3 months for clients to see a prescriber, regardless of the severity of their symptoms.
a field that rewards the bottom line, not the results.

(Jeeez, I feel like I should be in a rocker with a blanket over my lap)



I had just moved to Seattle
I was 20.
The City was huge
and I could get lost in bars
and women
and
cruising
and dancing the night away
and eating after hours
and watching the
sunrise
...

That was thirty years ago

I cant imagine doing that now...
its so far past my bedtime
when things are just
heating up.

hmmm 30 years ago, would have been the Off-Ramp?

Wow! Flashback!

What about the old Eastlake East? or is that what became the Offramp?
Crescent Tavern

The 4am breakfasts at 13 coins after the Sanctuary
Trying to remember what the Wildrose was before, I think something like the Sundance maybe

Yeah, didn't go out until 11
Now bedtime is before 10

I am too old to tolerate other people's ill behaved children. And I'm less tolerant of my own also...when they are behaving badly that is...lol

I'm too old to go clubing, but not too old to dance the night away
I'm too old to drink so much that the room starts to spin, but not too old to share a glass of good wine with a friend.
I feel too old to try and complete with these young chickabiddies, but I'm not too old to hold my own, even at 58
I'm too old to date a thirty year old, but I have no problem of entertaining the thought of being escorted by a handsome butch of 45.
I'm too old to think that I can't make a difference in life - I still have lots of love left in my heart to give.

As per my hairdresser, I am too old to have a streak of a crazy color in my hair. I asked for that, and she said very directly, with no smile and awkwardness or harshness, "No, that's for younger people." It didn't upset me. I found it funny (maybe the way she stated it like a certain fact, like the sky being blue) and reflected that my job might have an issue with it. I like to let hairdressers do what they wish with me anyway

I just got my hair cut. It was really long. (it's still long by most people's standards.) I've put myself through this several times before. I think that a guy having long hair is _________ fill in the blank with what ever negative rationale you can think of. The latest thing is the age thing. So I went to
a friend that is a stylist and she cut my hair. She did a really good job. And even though I tried to psych myself up for this, pre-grief and all, I'm kinda sad that I did it. After I had it cut I saw several men older than me with long hair, including one guy with white hair.

So I'm sad that I bought into the whole 'you're too old for this' crap.... :-(

You should have told her you're too old to put up with hairdressers that don't do what you ask them to do.
