How old are you

48, but I act like 14.

36. Realised today it's 20 years since I left school, don't feel much different now from how I did then. It's also possible I have more years behind me than in front of me, 2 of my grandparents died in their 60s, the other 2 at 73.

[ted]

Sixty-six, and getting more actively eccentric by the day, in music and out of it.

[thalbergmad]

I would rather like to know how old your lawn mower is old chap.

That one is very new, someone advertised it for $50 on the noticeboard at the shops last year. I have three of them and use the older two for spare parts. I used to have those old heavy, cast-iron monstrosities but I wore them out. The design of some things has improved.

[the_fervid_pig]

You can tell it's new, it has shiny wheels. Really liking the hat btw, have a similar one myself, but it has a flower on it, not sure if it'd suit you though.

Less that 22 more than 17

21, though I don't use the conventional units of measurement.

21, though I don't use the conventional units of measurement.

21 midlife crises?

21 midlife crises?

If I'm living forever, there's no "mid".

That's 297826086/297826087ths of it you missed.

Though to be fair, after the first second (which was lovely and spectacular) it was kinda quiet for the next 290000000/297826087ths.

No sound of piano...I sure knew how to pick the perfect time to enter

Beginning of middle age I guess.  It pretty much sucks.  And it could be worse... and it will.  It doesn't really get any better.

Don't worry! You show little signs of mature middle aging 

[Bob]

There is more wisedom.  That part's true.  A typical example is thinking, "F that.  I'm not doing that.  I'm not falling for that again."

[outin]

There is more wisedom. 

But no more grammar...

Until the senility sets in and you can't remember falling for it last time. 

[Bob]

Obligatory joke...


Beginning of middle age I guess.



At a point where I'm thinking it's good I can keep up with people 10+ years younger.  And at a point where that thought even enters my mind, "Oh f.... Everyone's younger.  Am I not skilled at this or am I just getting old and actually can't do this?  I better keep up."

I don't get old. I age (well )

[gyzzzmo]

Older than most, younger than some....

[rachmaninoff_forever]

19!

[j_menz]

19!

Except your ankles, which thanks to your skating misadventures are now 47.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Actually they're still in good shape I haven't lost flexibility or anything.  

In fact. My flip tricks are better than ever.  They're all in the ankle.

[starlady]

Don't you uncouth youngsters know that one never asks a lady her age? 

And remember, you're only young once---but you can be immature forever.

 So is this the reason for your interest in exercising?......because this is exactly what is going on with me, turned 40 and thought "holy crap, where's my life gone!", doing a heap of exercise thinking that it may delay any futher onset of years.

[thalbergmad]

I am 1 year older than I was the last time I posted in this thread.

Approaching the big 50.

[iansinclair]

Bunch of young upstarts.  Except Ted.  That lawn mower looks a lot like one of mine, only younger...  I'm 72.

The ensuing heart attack may just do that.

Stave off a heart attack and diabetes, yes.  Makes more room for things like dementia and cancer to creep in later.

And I finally figured out how to lose weight, but I don't want to look like a skeleton.
