Poll question: How old are you?
Completely unscientific.

No wishful thinking here. Also, no need to reveal your age if you post a message. Not trying to pry into people's lives, just curious what the demographic looks like around here.

(I'm not breaking any rules am I? If so, please delete.)

16. 15
I just went back in time 17 years and propelled my younger self into the future for a do-over!

Actually, my husband showed someone my picture yesterday (he's 41, I'm really, uh, um 32) and said, "I didn't know you had two daughters." He said, "That's my wife." Other person, "Well, she looks like she's 15."

I usually hear I look younger, but not like THAT (it was an old guy who likely didn't have his glasses on). However, I've decided to take it and run. The only bad thing is I have to relive the last three years of high school. That's going to really suck. But think of the possibilities. :7

67. hehe, that's a pretty cool idea...
though I think I would harken back to being legal, at least

(then again, I'd just get drafted to Iraq!)

the last 3 years of HS probably aren't as bad with the knowledge you have now. Possibilities are indeed endless!

Though I'm a little confused- my female co-workers insist that adult women never get any older than 29 :P

I always have people asking me why are you so interested in politics? (same with Samantha aka AlFrankenFan) I used to say "it is an important part of America, influencing our daily lives." they didn't get it though..... its a sad sad world isn't it?

64. I'm not disputing it, I was thinking of a sad reason
related to music --
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Ron "Pigpen" Mckernan, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain.... all 27 when they died

& astrology --
Saturn return starts around the time you're 27 and hits full force 28, and according to astrology is a particularly heavy time

68. Oh, I wasn't saying you were disputing it.
I was using reverse psychology to lure out people who were 27.

You can add Brian Jones to that list.

Old enough to vote, young enough to get away with stuff. Out of the house, but still pretty much living off my parents money (college is expensive!). 18 rocks.
