It's the past, a lot are dreaming of the past decades, 80's used to be the thing, but 90s is creeping up, the 20s I say is nothing to crap on, such style!!

@Lostpoet MIght have agreed 30 years ago - now that I'm in that age range I wouldn't disount the age as long as they provided a clean medical check. The US has had a ton of crappy presidents in their 50s and 60s.

@Lostpoet yeah and Reagan was 69 when elected - and was working on his dimentia.

I'm not disagreeing that it may be the end of the shelf life - just not saying it is necessarily so.

Me? I'm still working and over 70 - and know tons more about my job than people half my age. But when I'm no longer able to do the job I hope I recognize it before somebody has to point it out for me.
