What is everyone's age? C'mon now, don't be shy. :D

I'm only at 27 years of age, and I already feel like I am getting too old and past my prime. :( :

I fear the page is not wide enough for Mr John Fowles to record his age. Also it would only be a guess as records were kept on a piece of bark in those days.
I am a youthful 46...

Harmony 11-05-2005 02:23 PM

John's probably too old to even remember his own age. :D There are ghosts younger than him.

Do you seriously think any of us women will tell you the truth?
Oh yeah. I'm 28. Really, I am. And I was 28 last year, and plan on being 28 next year, too.

Chris Castleberry 11-05-2005 02:35 PM

Well, I sort of hoped... If you weren't really old, you wouldn't be ashamed and have to lie. ;)

Doug 11-05-2005 06:09 PM

I'll be 53 next Friday 11/11/52

Borderstone 11-05-2005 09:21 PM

I.....am.....17! :) Not! :D Just add 20 to that okay? Plus 5 months. :rolleyes:

Sheryl 11-05-2005 10:20 PM

charlene 11-05-2005 10:25 PM

In the old sexist days, they used to say a man was as old as the woman he feels. In that case, make me 51 (the age of my beautiful wife). In reality, you can add another year to that.

1959 sure was a good year. April fools day at that!

I am the answer to life, the universe, and everything (so says Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) on Xmas eve. 42.

joveski 11-06-2005 03:13 PM

i actually am 28!

brink 11-06-2005 03:25 PM

49, and what a ride it's been so far! My friend is taking me on a cruise anywhere I want to go for my 50th I have 10 months to think about it. Leaning toward Jamaica - Bob Marley is anotherfav of mine.

How old am I?

Today?

Well today I'm 51.

Tomorrow? I could be 60, I could be 30.

Tomorrow depends on tomorrow.

Hey,David In Sweden! :) If it's really true that folks born on 12/24 are the answer to life,then will you still believe it when I tell you that you and Ricky Martin share the same day of birth? :D

If you still do,well..."Shake Your Bon-Bon"!! LOL :D :D

BILLW 11-07-2005 04:53 AM

OK I'll go next.

I am 52 years old. I'm not sure what that's supposed to feel like but I feel fine, great in fact. On 12 November 2005 - two days after the United States Marine Corps 230th birthday (10 NOV 1775 for the math impaired) I will be running in the SunTrust Richmond Marathon which is 26.2 miles long. So I'm not ready for the rocking chair just yet, LOL. (any other marathoners out there ?

Bill :)

P. S. Yes if you're doing the math the USMC did get started before 4 July 1776, LOL. Strange but true.

And Chris, birthdays are in user profiles if people check the box to let others see it, LOL.

Valerie Winslow 11-07-2005 09:41 AM

51 and feeling younger every day, so I am among the few on this list who actually remember when Gord recorded sundown and the edmond fitzgerald! Great memories, great songs.

I also share it with Howard Hughes!

But it's actually the number (42) and not the day that is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. :D

I've been lying about it for so long I no longer remember. Throw in menopause for good measure and you all are lucky I can remember my login name and password. Now, where did my keyboard go . . .

Cathy 11-15-2005 06:24 PM

Okay. I'll tell the truth this time. I'm 49 for a couple more months.
Ha, ha, Char. You beat me to 50!

Auburn Annie 11-15-2005 06:54 PM

Older than dirt and younger than springtime am I - in other words, 53 and taking aim at 54 in January. But I feel like I'm in my late teens most days.

----------------------------------------------------------

Update: 56 headed for 57 (go, Annie, go!) Just went to our high school class' 39th reunion, which was the 50th for the high school itself - all members of Mount Carmel High School classes from 1958 - 1973 were invited. We had somewhere north of 1400 show up, including about 130/157 from our class. We've lost 11 classmates in 39 years.

Well, what a hoot! Each class had its own party on Friday night, and the entire student body showed up at the Pavilion at Emerson Park - after a tour of the old school - for Mass, picnic food, drinks (cash bar) and boogying the night away until they closed the park just before midnight. There were a half dozen faculty/staff members there, old uniforms complete with saddle shoes and beanies, and yearbook photos (yikes!)

The ambulance crew on standby twiddled their thumbs for the evening because in spite of extreme humidity, high heat and higher ages (it was nice being the youngster in the group) there was nary a faint, much less coronary, in the bunch. I had to particularly admire a nearly 70-year-old alumna dancing enthusiastically (and really well) for hours to everything from "Mustang Sally" to "Brick House" to "Play That Funky Music." We do know how to party.
