He didn't mean only on that case...you must start acting your age in a whole!

Start by visiting him more often

How much ur selling ur boat man?

Pfft! Starr.. ignore that.. You've only got one life.. live it any way you please. .. and 50's not old..

yanno I read a thing a while ago that said 60 is the new 40!..

Because people act (and often look) soo much younger nowadays.

So you haven't even HIT middle age by a long shot yet :)

Um...that's an awfully judgemental thing for him to say. I think your brother needs to climb down off his high horse and start acting HIS age.

If these things make you happy in your life, then "to thine own self be true" my friend.

Next time he tells you to act your age, say, "Hey...it's MY age and I'll act it out however I damn well please."

Judgemental people make my fists itch...

i think your brother is probably a little jealous

i wonder if he isnt as active as you are

live your life as you want to ....... enjoy it

be yourself and enjoy the things that you always have as long as you can...

So guess since I'm going to be 50 soon I need to quit the horse shows stop barrel racing and roping, sell the guns and stop hunting, I think not rather like being young at my age and all my sons friends think Mammas cool

I would have just simply told him that if he dosn't want you to tart telling him how to live his age and act his age then tell him to mind his own business. Could it be he is just jealous because you got all that stuff and he dosn't?

Hey as long as you respect the others and don't act like total idiot and immature then your fine. The items you have such as your boat and car and such. Those are your hobbies. Everyone has them (hobbies not the cars and boats lol) And if they make you happy then so what what others think.

I don't think you should hang up your biking boots and don a pair of slippers just yet. You are only 50... if you are still enjoying life, go for it!!! I don't think there's any hard and fast rule about how you should act......

Your brother probably forgets that when he is 50 chances are he won't feel he should slow down and get a rocking chair, eh?

<=======depending on the situation, acts like 5, 8, 13, 18 (around that range but not any younger)

Now you know you should be getting up in the morning, taking a stroll to the park where you'll meet your other 50 yr old men friends and sit for the day either playing chess or gaulking at the 20 yr olds girls.....after that wears you out, it'll be time to go home and take a nap before dinner at the community inn.....




You go boyeeee, your toys just got bigger and more expensive, that's all....

Hey Gang:

I'm here to say....AND....WITH great AUTHORITY......................50 is NOT OLD.!!


It shouldn't be called, "Act your age", it should be called "Act with maturity". That can come at almost any age...........But............the problem is that those without it just don't recognize that they haven't got it,............. until they GET it.

Anyone can understand that there are MANY things we would have liked to do when we were much younger, but life didn;t present us with the time or the money...If you have both now...hell....have a ball with those cars and boats and toys....and, please don't let your brother put a damper on what you've been able to acquire......and, if you were a really good brother, you wouldn't even tell him, "I told you so."...when he gets to be 50.

Just the thoughts of an ancient oracle....

Guess I need to sell my porch rocker, my whittling knife and spitoon...time's a wastin'

Live it up while you can...Life is tooooo short...Have a Blast...VROOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!! Oh yeh...And call him back and tell him your building a home made rocket and you are gonna go to the moon...

Never never sell the spitoon

Hmmm.......I act about 2 around my grandaughter...since she's just past 1....it works for me....and her. It's just more of a pain getting up off the floor now

Yes, I've noticed that too.
What I usta could do all day long now takes me all day to do

My thought is you are as old as you feel.....I think if you are enjoying your "toys" don't change anything.

Your brother sounds a little like he envies you... maybe you have things that he would like to have.

I wouldn't change anything you are doing....

Tell him you are, and he will understand when he grows up.
