Age Poll

Eh... when you are 172, hip replacement becomes a necessity... It is not exactly plasctic surgery, y'know.

I thought you were 172 in Jan ;)

16, representin. Have I posted in here before?

It is a mistake to live one's life according to some arbitrary dictum of a calender. Age is something to keep track of only because others seek of it of you. It bears little on the reality of one's impact on the world, or the world's impact on you, other than when we are a young child. Cumulative knowledge can sometimes be used to judge a person's age, but even this method not always accurate (I've met very young people with very old eyes) nor beneficial in any meaningful way. I am at a loss as to why people feel strange revealing their age, whether it be young or old..........but I assume it is conditioned response. It is much better to be 'yourself' with abandon.....there is nothing to fear..........

Welcome to "The Tragic Corner" LOL

Put down that phone, don't call the hospital...it's not as bad as I described it these days, you know :D

Can I call a plastic surgeon instead? ;)

I think we should punish those people who invented "time" as the ones who divided time to years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds. Before this time measure was "invented", people never worried about when is the right time to use anti wrinkle cream..

I know but at least I have 'answered' the poll

I need the exact answer, then I'll answer your poll...

Well, Sub, seeing as polls could have a limited number of options (I thought it was 10, seems possible to create a 12-choice one as well), creating a poll ranging from 13 to let's say 70... I doubt it's possible... and really, that's a bit childish and uncalled for. I think it's the most accurate age poll we've had as far.

I usually describe my age as "barely legal"

for what??? :p

Don't act like you don't know!

Can't think of many things for which 57 would be a "barely legal" age...

wearing thong panties perhaps?

57 makes me quite the Lolita at the old-folks home! *wink*

57 would probably make one barely legal for wearing one of those toques with the string hanging coolly untied, or to take up finger painting, or coy baby talk......

AARP?

Lolita, nail painting, coy baby talk...

Image overload!!! :p
