Yeah, every once in a while I have to remind myself you're only a few years older than me. You've got curmudgeonliness beyond your years.

Me, I'm a few months away from 30. I never thought such artificial age delineations would mean anything to me, but I can't ignore the widening gulf between me and teenagers...and more frighteningly, between me and people in their early 20s. So despite (or perhaps because of) the apparent loss of sex appeal with the LoT 'mo crowd, I've been feeling very glad that I finally got brave enough to shave my beard and look 20 again. That's been a self esteem boost that that came as somewhat of a surprise.

I always think people are younger than I am....

Capt. Jack~hmm...I wouldn't guess you to be a 'senior' around here.

GC~LOL Well, the forties are great because when you start to remember all of the things you are 'supposed' to have, or, have done, your memory sucks so you really don't remember what you were worried about in the first place!!!

Or, that could just be me. :0)

I know less at 45 than I did at 32. The older I get, the more i don't know......especially what it is I want to be when I grow up. (Maybe I just don't want to grow up.)

well, not by a ton. all of those listed are close but none the less slightly behind me in cronological span.

dunno...no ones age had really occurred to me. seeing those just gave me pause and foolishly looked at the listed b-dates

[MouseWife]

LOL I never try to think of ages myself. Makes it easier to make mine less significant.

[Capt Jack]

which is exactly what I should have done.

and will now do

Crikey, you're bloody old, aren't you ?

I bet you watch all those ads on the telly for artifical joints with renewed interest now !

... Once you're 37, 40 seems real close.

Once you're 40 you're near death

...Once you're 42, that's the meaning of life and you start all over again.

(guess who's 42)

Maybe we ought to call the board LotB - Last of the Babyboomers

The other day I had to say how old I was to someone on the phone and it took me about 15 seconds to come up with it. I couldn't remember. So I actually had to do the math from my birth year.

When 6 was the last birthday overtly celebrated the significance of the number seems to fall away.
