I know having had kids young (first was at age 20) that I am able to grow with them through these technological times. I remember when the internet was nothing more than an inter-office or interuniversity (internal) email-like system called PINE(google it its so lame). I remember when you could really only use a computer in the computer lab at school and the invention of IRC chat rooms-and when someone could send a disgusting picture that would fill the whole screen of everyone's monitor in the computer lab-painfully buffering(imagine a porn picture filling the screens of giant heavy monitor of like 25 people). I remember my first nokia cell phone with the stubby attena(sp). I remember my first texting flip motorola phone. I remember my first blackberry roller ball cell phone and waiting forever for the web page to load...OMG this is totally off track *thanks adhd*. ANYWAY- I am not obsessed with dying young and I do think you can mitigate some of the mental signs of aging by staying plugged in and up to date with technology and your kids.

Ahh good old IRC. I'm only 27 but I've used IRC more than once. Until recently, IRC remained the preferred communication method for hackers but it is still used sometimes. Brings back memories of my days on 4chan haha

Anyways, I don't mean this in a creepy way but if that pic on your profile is really you than I am kinda shocked that you're 43. You look really good for your age honestly. I think you would pass for being in your mid to late 20s. Your family must age well.

But yeah, I just feel like I'll be lonely when I'm older because nobody will want anything to do with me. That's why I am afraid of getting old.
