My Ego Was Fed This Morning

I was sitting in my Dermatologist's waiting room this morning waiting to have another Basal Cell Cancer removed and there were four or five other people waiting. The lady next to me asked what I did for a living and I told her I was retired. She replied "Aren't you a little young to be retired"? I replied "No, I have been retired for almost 25 years. She then asked how old was I. I told her and this kicked off a bunch of flattering comments from her as well as the other people in the waiting room. This was all nice to hear of course and I'm sure I turned beet red since I blush easily.
Any way------MADE MY DAY.
 

:eek:k:

It's okay to bask in such compliments!

Lon, before you retired what type of work did you do? Just curious because I don't recall seeing where you've talked about it.
 

Well Lon I have always thought you looked pretty good for your age,:) From this Aussies point of view you are a handsome man.. Would like to actually see a photo of you when you were young, I don't know if it's because we are in " senior" years but I personally think some men are more handsome in senior years than they were when young ....I guess crawling will get me points :laugh:
Interesting I have just been to the dermatologist for my yearly check up ,of course she always finds a few to burn off .. And another tube of efidux to treat other spots
 
Gee Lon... It's a good thing a Hollywood recruiter wasn't in getting a few things burned off his back.. You would be on your way to Warner Bros. by now. lol!!
 
Good for you, Lon - I would have had a puss like the Cheshire Cat. It's also very easy to see when I'm blushing with my pasty white skin, so yeah, I'd be red all over but still sucking up the compliments. :D

Unfortunately, nowadays I look worse than I did years ago. :(
 
Good for you Lon, compliments are nice. Be sure and mention that to your date tonight. :)

Kadee46, I agree with you, a lot of men get better looking as they get older. My husband looks a lot sexier now than he did when he was young. When we got married he was so skinny he looked like he'd just gotten out of a concentration camp. I fattened him up though! :)
 
Ah Lon - you didn't tell them though that you retired when you were twenty though did you? Which would make you about 44 now - actually you look a bit old for 44 LOL!

Ha Ha Boozer you still asleep and dreaming!

I Have for many years now not had to show my senior card, I just get all the senior cuts automatically - nobody bothers asking for it!

Zante Our local supermarket ( Foodland) offers seniors a discount on Wednesdays , I ask the cashier if they want to see my card, or they can just look at my sun bleached hair , as I call the colour of my hair which is mostly grey ( I blame the sun for colour ..no dyes) they useally just laugh and say it's OK don't need to see it

:rofl::rofl:The line about you fattening up your husband is funny Linda..
 
We've seen a few photos in the past of Lon on here in his younger days Kadee..

......especially one where you were Bungee Jumping age about 60.. wasn't it Lon?


Braver man than me Gunga Din!!

I have to admit that I agree that the vast majority of men get better looking as they age...most of them start off as skinny runts who need a good feed and then after a few years of adult hood and working and exercise they fill out...probably we should just leave their mums to get them to that stage and not get hooked up with them till they're about 30.. :D
