I think it’s silly for people of 45 or older to try to act like they’re in their 20’s, but this ageism thing that some people have on the OT is just as foolish. Get over it people, unless you think dead at 29 is preferable to being a young 45. Because unless you feel like self-destructing in your twenties, getting older is your only option.
“Actually, that brings back some bad memories of my mom dressing me in velour shirts and plaid pants. I used to look like a reject from the PGA Tour, circa 1975.”
Biff, I caught your post late yesterday, and it made me laugh because I recall the velour shirts all too well (I had a velour Polo hoodie in 1977), and may my mother rest in peace, WTF was with all the plaid pants? I have a class picture in which I’m wearing plaid pants that look exactly like the CT shirt you posted above.
Also, and looping in Slopey and DeLepp for this, too, do you recall the leisure suits? Mandatory High Holiday and Bar/Bat Mitzvah Circuit attire (well, maybe not so much those occasions for DeLepp!)

at 32 is when you can let some of that anxiety to creep in. till then, you’re still in the 27-32 range where you’re matured but not yet on the escalating “boring” curve.
oh god. another one one of those people who refuse to accept their age. there is nothing cheesier than those 45 year old wannabe hip dads in park slope and their Gerber tattoos.
DIBS;
You take care of the clowns, I’ll arrange the catering for the fundraiser. How about pizza from Spumoni Gardens? Crazy Carl Pasquale would love it.
Good idea about Spain or Argentina! I totally need to figure out a trip somewhere out of the country soon.

DeLepp, at my 50th I got caught by a coworker in the bathroom stall at Japas with my mexican bf.
For my 30 b-day I got pinned on top of a cab by a drunk friend who forgot I was gay. I blamed it on her quiting smoking that week.
