Is it really true that time goes buy faster as you get older?
It does seem that way to me. I feel like I just had my 40th b-day the other day. now I am about to have 42d.
why is it that time seems to go faster as you get older?
does it continue to move faster from here on out for me?
am I going to wake up next moth and be 52?
whats the deal with days and weeks and years going fast

I remember my 40th and no time later it was my 60th sure seems that way must be all down hill lol.

Time seems to pass according to what you are doing. If you are busy and active time seems to fly, If you are sitting around doing nothing time drags. Keep busy and you will be old before you know it.

No, hopefully you'll wake up ten years from now and be 52. But then it probably will seem like a month.

I have always heard that vocabulary was truly the first thing to go instead of the most common ideas. For instance, not knowing the difference between buy, by, and bye!

I'll be the first one to support a healthy and strong education for all, but it's a tad bit tacky to ridicule someone for their weaknesses in their language skills. The meaning of his post was perfectly clear, and that is truly the fundamental purpose of language - communication. In that respect, despite the obvious flaws in delivery, his communication of his thought was acceptable. Common courtesy may be in order here.

I am an elder too. I make fun of myself all the time.

It wasn't my intention at all to offend or ridicule anyone.

Since it did, I am sorry.

Time 'does' pass faster as we age, and being less able to do the same things we did when we were in our younger years is tied to those same hands on the clock. We can only hope that we covered most of the items on our youthful bucket lists, and made some really good memories along the way.

Hey, don't give up that easily! You can make some pretty impressive memories at any age. You may need to get a tad more creative, but it's worth the effort. Enjoy your years - ALL of them!

Dave

Not sure it actually offended anyone, certainly not me. I just have noticed more than a few posts that were hell bent on bringing someone's literary inadequacies to the forefront for no good reason. I will admit that I grew up in any age, as you probably did, when grammar, spelling and literary prowess were valued and prized attributes. Seems those days are rapidly waning. To read most newspapers today is to experience pain with the pathetic editorial efforts they display. But, alas, today's world doesn't seem to place the same values on those qualities. Anyone growing up in the modern, texting society will most likely not be fluent in the English language. I feel, as you seem to, that it's a loss, but the world is changing.

Face it, if the sentiment and communicative purpose has been achieved, how the individual got there is really not that important.

Sorry if I made you feel uneasy. I just noticed what I thought was another attack at a poster that was not really necessary or desirable.

Dave

They say "time flies when you're having fun."

I think I'm 25 but my 75 year old body says different.

Jeez...I've never been this old before.
