How old are you?

[Sentry18]

The chat about how old our resident internet princess is got me to wondering how old we all are. We have done this before but it's been a while. I made it a poll for those who want to maintain their OPSEC or have been lying to people for years. You can only vote one, but no one can see your vote. Of course if you want to comment about your specific age you can sure do that too!

Whew, barely remained in the middle

Does 'second childhood' eventually turn into 'second infanthood'? I recently started wearing a diaper to bed again.

Whew !! Man that is old.

Not even a group to mark for you.

My Way

I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few but then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've lived, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that and may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got if not himself then he has not
To say the things, he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way
Yes, it was my way

I checked the 'how dare you' option.

 

[Bacpacker]

I feel 3 days older than dirt. But I didn't see that option, so I marked the right age group. I'll turn 60 in October.

 

[Weedygarden]

I had students ask me how old I was over the years, and I used it as an opportunity to tell them that it is one of the things you don't ask people. Rarely did my students know my exact age, but there was a big surprise party for me when I turned 40, orchestrated by parents of students. When I taught pre-schoolers, I would occasionally say I was 100. Students knew what 100 was because we worked with units, tens, hundreds and thousands. I shouldn't have lied.

Well Dade you don't have to rub it in.

Enjoy it ,it don't get no better with birthdays although they are always welcome.

Weedy there comes a time when we just don't care if people know how old we are we are just glad to still be kicking and pulling vines.
I bet those kids were wondering what your secret was.

 

[LadyLocust]

@Weedygarden I used to tell the kids I was 92. Don't I look good for my age
Now I usually just say "older than dirt just not as dusty."

 

[dademoss]

High mileage

 

[phideaux]

Once your in them 70s ..

Thats where you are.

Exactly.
Since I got killed on 10-04-1989, I climbed out of the grave and every day since became a new day in the "bonus round".
I guess that makes me about 30:green man:
(I did answer the poll with my 'total' age though).

 

[Sourdough]

I am mid 70's and happy to be alive. This is an extremely interesting period in human history, to be able to watch it happen, to be an active part of it. Everyone knows that something big is going to happen with humans on earth.......seems thrilling to be part of what is coming for America. It is like being a character in a James Clavell novel.

 

[Amish Heart]

Next month, I'll be 10 years older than Sentry.
Our oldest was born in 1980

I liked the option to change your vote. Is that for when you have a birthday?

I expect that this will close at some time.

 

[Haertig]

On my next birthday I will turn 40. OK, OK, OK ... technically that's 0x40. Being an engineer, I report my age in hex (base 16). 40 sounds a lot better than 64 (decimal, base 10)!

I told my kids I was 400 and just kept adding to it every year.

 

[Amish Heart]

I had a preschooler tell me I couldn't come to his birthday party because I was "really, really old". I asked him how old. He said maybe 30 like his mom, but that I had really old eyes.

 

[zoomzoom]

I'm glad you broke it down by decades. I honestly don't keep track and mentally have to do the math if someone asks my exact age.

 

[Sparky_D]

I don't grow "old", I "level up". It sounds better to say "I'm Level 50!"

 

[Cnsper]

Being 51 I am middle aged.

Aren't kids great? I would take that as a compliment. Usually people with "old eyes" are wise in that they see more than what is apparent to most.

 

[Curmudgeon]

I'll let you know as soon as I can find my abacus.

Yep I too live in the ' happening'.

I had my oldest grandaughter [ she was 4 ] ask me if I was old. I had just put on makeup hair looked nice,etc, etc,etc,. And I looked in mirror and said to myself," not baf for 42 yr old granny of 6 ". We'er going down the road and the kid says " are you old " I yelled hell no I ain't old', she said 'you look old'.
Talk about a good day tyrned bad.

 

[SheepDog]

I tell my son that you're not old until you quit aging. I plan on being older tomorrow.
