I'm Officially A Senior Citizen Today!

[ProfessorGAC]

But, since Medicare starts the first day of the month of one's birthday, was I officially a senior on the first?
I don't feel older than yesterday, though.

[Ruby Zee]

1. Happy Birthday!

I'm officially a senior citizen tomorrow!

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Wow!

We were born a day apart. I was born about 6:30pm. We might be only a few hours apart!

[walkingman]

3. Congrats!! I didn't consider myself a senior until I turned 70 -

enjoy - times flies!!!

10. "Old" is always at least 10 years older than you are.

4. Happy Birthday!!

You are a senior citizen the first day you start reading about Medicare online and in their big book. I advise people to get started on that one year before they are eligible. On your birthday, you just hope you have it all figured out. Celebrate!!

6. I Had Everything Arranged In Early June

Our insurance guy is great.
He texted me in March that he'd pull together options then call me in June. He did exactly that.
By the 2nd week of June, everything was in place.
We even had it set up so that at 11:59:59pm on August 31, my personal healthcare policy would expire.
There was literally 1 second between policies!
So, on September 1, I wasn't sweating a thing.
That guy is so attentive & helpful.

7. Happy Birthday!

Mine was the 12th and I set up my Medicare just like you.

[rickyhall]

11. Welcome to the club. My 1st anniversary is a week from tomorrow.

[Fla Dem]

12. Happy Birthday Young Man!

As I've told many of my family and friends, you're only a day older than you were yesterday.

13. Being called "senior citizen" is sort of neat. But, wait 'til someone calls you "elderly".

I don't mind boomer, geezer, old fart, grey hair, gramps.

But "elderly"? I hate the implication of frailty, no matter how close to the truth.

Now, let's discuss ailments ...

[tblue37]

33. At 71, I would probably be called an "elderly grandmother" if a newspaper ever had to

write a story about me being involved in an accident or some such thing.

I am old, but somehow don't feel "elderly."

[Skittles]

14. AND

eligible for booster shot!

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Speaking of Which...

...I meant to go to CVS for flu & shingles shot today.
Glad you brought that up. I'll go tomorrow.
Thanks!

[Skittles]

18. ooh, I would not advise getting them together

but that's just me (I've had them both)

and I think you need to put 28 days between them and a booster

[SharonClark]

15. Congratulations!

I hope you love being a senior.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Well, I'm Enjoying Retirement For Sure

About 3 years now.
I didn't really celebrate. I only care about prime number bdays.
I know, I know. Pretty geeky.

[niyad]

24. Every birthday can be expressed in primes. For example: 7(squared)+19+3.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. Kind Of Convoluted For Me

I can do the algebra, but feels like cheating.
And, in your example, it adds to 71. That's already a prime number!
But, for this year I suppose I could do 5^2 + 29 +11.
Too late though. Yesterday's gone. (Thanks to Lindsay Buckingham)

[niyad]

27. I know, it's mine. But it amuses me to watch people trying to figure it out. Several of

my friends are weird like that. (Do you think we need more hobbies?)

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Well, I've Got Golf!

But, there's numbers involved there, so not sure that counts.
I actually extract cube roots in my head when driving around. Or I determine yield on a randomly chosen rate of return over 10 - 30 years, picking 5 of those at random. (Me: "Let's do 7.27% over 11, 16, 21, 25 & 29 years.)
My wife thinks I'm nuts.

[niyad]

30. Well, she must like nuts, since she did marry you. Trying to think here. Cooking, baking,

annoying puke politicians. . Hmm. They all involve numbers. Yeah, really need more hobbies.

19. You damned kids! Get off my lawn!

[livetohike]

20. Happy Birthday! Hope you've had a good one so far. n/t

[NurseJackie]

21. Welcome!

[Treefrog]

22. Oh hell, I considered myself one when I started getting my subscription to AARP.

And so many places have discounts for anyone over 55, so that made me happier than when I turned 18 lol!

[FakeNoose]

23. Woo hoo!

Happy birthday, my friend!

[niyad]

25. Happy Birthday to all on this thread who are celebrating.

[LuckyCharms]

29. Happy Happy Birthday, Professor!

[underpants]

31. Stay to the side of the aisle in the grocery store old man

Moving up to the gold tees?

[ProfessorGAC]

34. Not Yet

I'm still hitting it 230, so I can still hit driver/5-8 iron on most par 4s.
When I regularly start needing a 5 wood on the second shot of a 4, I'll know it's time.

32. Happy Birthday, Professor!
