Haha, so many great memes. I think my favourite is "I remember being able to get up without making sound effects...good times." haha.

Happy Sixty, dear Cori! Many of the Boomers are still recovering from their youth, myself included. Even though age is tough, I would not want to be young again. Once was enough! Carry on!

I will, Cori, as long as I can. No desire to live to 90...but awhile longer.

When I was younger I was to busy to meme because I was partying. Now I'm too busy memeing and I forgot where I was going with that. Happy 60!

There are some great (and VERY relatable) memes in this one!! I just told my husband I feel like a grey haired looking drug addict. Nice!!! So glad I could give him this vision. He never knows what to say. Aging ain't for chickens.

Does anybody know how old you have to be for the juvenile delinquent thoughts and tendencies to stop? Asking for a fren.

Even though I’m sick, and basically housebound (yay IBD, so sexy!) I still have the same thoughts I had when I was 17. I just know how to process them better!

The urge to wind the engine up and β€œdrop the clutch” and smoke the tires at remote stop signs still occurs to me more often than it ought to. Then I realize that I’m driving a Honda Civic with a 4 cylinder engine and automatic transmission…that might be one of them there metaphors.

I heard that. I’ve lost count of how many times I scream β€œget the fuck out!” in my head, even to strangers. There’s a build up of 60 years of suppression hiding behind my smiling eyes. πŸ˜‚
