No longer in my prime, but I remember when.63 total reviews
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I just clicked on your picture, and enlarged it, you really did have a mop of red curly hair!!! You had what I would have loved, but not if it was going walkabout when I wasn't watching. Lol. I think I was in my prime at 40. I wish I could do what I could do then, so long ago. Now it has been reduced to just a memory. I liked your reply to your 'friend' about being with a woman in the grocery store!! Loved that. I enjoyed reading your little rant, it was fun. :)) Sandra xx

Sandra, LOL, thank you for reading. Terry.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Good work. Nicely done.
No doubt you will get a lot of 'my prime' from men, maybe not so much from women.
For me, it depends on the subject: math, sexual prowess and stamina, physical strength and endurance, relationship compatibility, writing skills, tolerance for others' POV... Considering all that, I'd have to say somewhere between prepubescence and now.
Best wishes.

Comment from JoannaN
Your text made me google for some nice prime-related quotes. I like this one the best:
"I did not know I was in my prime until afterwards."
PS: There is another interesting aspect of prime - prime numbers (have you seen The Cube :) )?

Joanna, I should have checked, I could have used some of those, thank you for reading, Terry.
Comment from nomi338
You just had to go there. I was in good spirits until you forced me to travel way into the past where I think my prime left me behind. I used to be slim with a head of hair that was manageable and capable of being slicked down beautiful waves or in a powerful Afro. It really hurt to witness the loss of my proud locks and see them on my son's head. Now we both sport shiny bald heads that resemble chocolate eggs. At least I have company. My once slim physique now has an unsightly bulge where my six pack is supposed to be. I am now a primetime joke. Thanks a lot Terry, I thought you were my friend.

LOL, I am so, so sorry, Nomi! But thank you for the six stars! Your review is great! Thanks for reading. Terry.

It's cool. I really can't blame you for what Mother Nature did to me and my son. That does not make it any easier to deal with though.

LOL
Comment from Ric Myworld
Amazon Prime started off as a bargain. Well, it seems so at the time, but now, the one day delivery never happens and the price has risen. It's about like us, and our prime times, whenever they really were, since they passed so quickly. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Ric, you are still a young fella, but you are right about Prime. Thanks for reading. Terry.

It's nice when we make friends who will lie to make us feel better. LOL.
Comment from prettybluebirds
Your story is hilarious. I loved every word, but it also made me wonder where my prime went. I'm seventy-six, with no clue how I came to be this old. It sneaks up on a person. Great story. You gave me my laugh for the day.

Comment from jmdg1954
When thinking of prime, also don't forget your finest prime cut meats. Something we may have been, some time ago.
Well my friend I think we are sailing in the same boat, the U.S.S. Out-A-Prime.
A good read while I was eating lunch.
Happy Holidays, John

Comment from karenina
You may not consider yourself in your "Prime" but Einstein's theory of relatively really slips in nicely hear...
It's ALL relative! I can rustle up a Texas ranch FULL of witnesses right here on FS to testify that they don't give a follicle about you losing hair...
We're just glad you are HERE!
P.S. Your "Concepts and Applications" are way better than Amazon!
S'cuse me while I go YouTube "Jean"
"Till the sheep in the valley come home my way
Till the stars fall around me and find me alone..."
Love that!

Yes! I969 ~ I was not yet sixteen and the movie was incredible!

Definitely break out the POPCORN...it's well worth another viewing or two!
(smile)

I saw that, but who has a DVD player any more, not me. Terry.
-
Haha. I dooooo. (Blushing)
-
You might find a used DVD of the movie in one of those used books, records, DVD stores.
I got rid of all my DVDs and player when everything went streaming. Terry.
-
Yes! We have a local store called ?Turn it Up? that sells used vinyl Lps, CDs, and DVDs. Most are under $3.
Nice to keep that old DVD player going! :)

Well done. You remain an easy and interesting read, and as stated previously we could be related for many things you have done, I have as well, and leaving prime a while ago is relative to this notation.

Comment from Sarah Das Gupta
I like the self-deprecating tone here! The definition of prime is interesting. I agree Maggie Smith was definitely in her prime when she played that role.
His account of a chance encounter with an unknown woman in a supermarket is very amusing!
