Re: Getting old.
Hi John.
My hair didn't go white until I was around 65, my wife's hair is still as brown as when I met her and she's 84, she reckons she is still a Kentish maid, I suppose that makes me an old fart.

Re: Getting old.
Hair, what hair got more on my chest than on my head.
But like many I refuse to allow age to interfere with my life, I do not care how old the ladies are I escort. LOL
But who gives these people to put a tag on us, who says you are fragile, some stupid WOKE person who in time may end up being called a silly old frail person in time.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
