I guess considering those statistics, Max...you are old too! :goof:
Did anyone else have to look at their drivers license to figure out how old they are?
You know I keep screwing up. At some point in the middle of the year I project to the next one. I remember last year on my birthday I swore I was a year older than I was. I had projected the year ahead and then forgot I was projecting, so when my birthday came around I added another year to the projected age. :lol: I think I was arguing with Scher here as to what my age was. She knew my real age better than I did. :blush: But I was so happy when I found out I was a year younger than I had thought. ;)Quote:

He's down the shore on vacation so I am safe till he gets home. Then we can celebrate it with him. Hahah....now I do know this year he is turning 37...haha. My age I can't forget unfortunately...soon to get to that terrible birthday - impossible! :brickwall I'm still a youngster, or so I act it!Quote:

I broke my glasses and tonight I am the blind grandma. I just finally located my old old ones - two generations back. Not sure I can wear them, because right eye is awfully blurry; was hoping I would just adjust after a time...dont' worry, don't need them for computer or reading. I guess my prescription did change.
In frantically searching through countless drawers in my bedroom, I came across all of these: about 4 dozen very attractive scarves (hey, they are back in style! Yeah!), about 20 vintage pairs of gloves - very cool looking - even have rhinestone ones and black jet (are these stylish to wear?): approximately 15 pair of either leather or suede or knit winter gloves....now those I never wear - I always forget to take them with me and I hate the feel of gloves even in the winter; two very nice wool ski hats about 10 yrs old, and would you believe this - two pair of wool socks from 1968! They were my ice-skating socks...oh lordy; I do need to donate some of this junk!!! How we do accumulate.
Growing old stinks. :(Quote:

I hit right on the line of the groups. I am 24, but will be 25 in about 5 weeks.
:lol: hha...that's a good one...Yeah...Rhinstone Cowboy! ....they are actually white cotton and rather chic. I also have a pair of black with jet beading - think those are really antiques. I did used to sell these vintage gloves in the antique store; but then I brought all this stuff home and that is why I'm overcrowded; not to mention all the videos and books I have accumulated in the past few years. It's pretty bad!...definitly I am in the pack rat category or heading for it.Quote:

Hi. I joined up because I am making the transition from teaching English for 22 years to becoming a writer and educational consultant. I have published a novel and several books of poetry. Please go to my site at jeffersonhansen.blogspot.com for suggestions and help with English class — at the high school or college level. I hold a Ph.D., so I am qualified to work with students at both levels.

I'll be seventeen in a month and a day!
Not awwwfully excited. Having just moved to London there's not such a rush for me to get my license, as opposed to the need to have one in the countryside. Grah. n.n
it astonished me when I get to know......so many youngsters here. and I am a little moved by the dialogue between the dad and his child. I also like to make some young friends. And I want to introduce some article to chinese, especially to my friends.
How old is old? Mmm.
I guess you’re never as old as someone else thinks you are.
This is a big year for me. A milestone as decades go. The big 60.
And, d’ya know, it’s not as bad as you might think. ;)
I am 36 years old. it is the age getting to the world "old". do you have the same topics with the much youngers? I am a new one here. I just feel a little strange when communicate with youngsters. I do not familiar with american youngsters. I am curious, in fact.
I'm in the 45+ category so that makes me pretty old on here but I notice there are a few of us about.

You get discounts at Burger King for being 55? I didn't know that. Something to look forward to I guess. :D
Hi everyone I'm Manuel I love to read, even though I have many health problems that prevent me from reading as mucuh as I would like to, I'm trying to find different ways to be conected with what really is my true passion.
hai I am new here
Am 66 & when I have the annual medical back in the UK, the doc always asks:
1. When are you going to stop working?
2. How many times do you go to the bathroom at night?
3. What about your average alcohol consumption?
Its amazing what perceptions of age are reduced to & actually its quite funny.
Answers:
1. When I stop enjoying it.
2. Once.
3. Three vodka & tonics a night. "What! large ones?" "Of course. You cannot taste them otherwise.
George Burns the 90 year old American comedian had the right outlook.
Being interviewed once on TV, was asked. "Well George, what are you doing with yourself now?" Response " Oh I eat good meals, drink good wine & play around with young girls"
" Play around withyoung girls George! Why is that?"
"Because I can't find any my own age"
I didn't realize you're 66 Manichaean. Well, fantastic. :)
