I'm 61. How old are you??

[cliffordu]

[Ptah]

1. 62

[pipi_k]

2. 60 last October

Sometimes I forget and think I'm still 50

[RedCloud]

5. I hit that milestone last Oct. 25th.

It hit me like a ton of bricks, but the 5 Tibetans!!!!!!!!!!! Oh baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pipi_k]

13. October 20th here...

Hitting the big six-oh wasn't that big a deal for me.

I had a much harder time turning 21, then again at 30.

I guess it takes getting older to realize that having an age crisis is pretty much a waste of time.

[cliffordu]

6. I still think I'm 16.

Until I look in a mirror and realize someone's grandfather stole my body and left this pathetic skinsuit in trade...

[pipi_k]

14. Oh yeah...

I hear ya.

Do you have any aches and pains?

Sometimes I think I would gladly trade my relatively still young-looking outer facade for someone else's aches and pains free body...

[cliffordu]

35. I'm still pretty good that way -

I have a bad shoulder and the usual aches and pains but I ride a bicycle everywhere, and that has helped immensely from what I've gleaned from my older friends.

[yurbud]

82. There will soon be a cure for aging and death

but none of us will be able to afford it.

[In_The_Wind]

15. Sometimes I forget and think I'm still

40

[RebelOne]

3. Much older than you. But I am not saying how much older. n/t

[femmocrat]

94. Too young for Medicare; too old for men to care.

(Old joke!) That is what I always say when some nosy whippersnapper asks my age.

[bike man]

4. 70 And I've discovered that 55 lb dumbbells are heavier than they were 40 yrs ago.

[MuseRider]

27. Hitting the big 60 this December.

Age stopped meaning much to me once I hit 50 and found the most wonderful years of my life were ahead of me.

Still 17 in my head, my body does not agree nor does that old hag who follows me around and shows up in my mirror. HATE her, lol. Not really, I earned those wrinkles and had fun getting them.

Onward we go NGU, I will be kicking and screaming all the way till I draw my last breath. A life lived, maybe not always well, but lived.

[Bertha Venation]

168. MR

Get outta my mind. I feel everything you wrote.

[MuseRider]

[Still Blue in PDX]

34. 58

I only realize it when I look at my daughters in their 30s and realize that they are the age that I feel. And then I look at my sons who are in their 20s and realize that they are the age that I act.

I grew up while I was in "parent" mode and had to set a good example, be responsible, and all that good stuff, but now I've reverted to the real me.

[Suich]

164. Hapoy birthday, Suich! And many more! nt

[Flashmann]

38. How old are you??

59

[struggle4progress]

39. I'm not very good with numbers. I've been 27 or 28 for a while now. But I can't remember

for exactly how long I've been this old. I doubt if it's more than a dozen years or so, though, cuz I can't remember seeing any President before Eisenhower on TV, and it wasn't all that long ago that he was President. He chose that paranoid slimeball from California as his VP. Shizz. What was his name? ... Noxious ... Obnoxious ... Toxic ... Nixit ... It'll come to me

Anyway, 27 or 28, probably closer to 28. I'd like to be more precise, but I'm just not that good with big numbers

[yellowcanine]

41. 61 years and 51 weeks here. So I have one more week I can say 61.

[Bertha Venation]

169. Happy Birthday early!

[yellowcanine]

177. Thanks. Looking forward to 62 and eligibility for early SS. Not going to take it but

it is nice to know I will be eligible. Going to hold out at least until FRA at 66 and possibly 70. Still feel young and have a decent job with no mandatory retirement so see no reason to stop now.

[Bertha Venation]

181. You will keep on --

Strong!! <~~~ hope that's ok

I never realized all the old peeps on DU...or as I would call you: My contemporaries.

Cuz you see, I'm 58. I just forget that all the time. Until I see my face in the mirror and exclaim: "Mom! What're you doing in there?"

[ashling]

89. I was 60 in September 2012

[Doc_Technical]

90. I had to do some cyphering and I'm 61 years old.

I stopped giving a shit about how old I am around my
50th birthday.
It was around that time that I had a birthday cake with
50 candles in it and when they were lit, it looked like
a fracken forest fire; it set off the kitchen smoke alarm.
So now I don't keep track of that stuff.
I remember when I was around 8 years old, that my
birthday seemed to come around every 3 years or so.
Now my birthday comes around every 4 months and
I just don't care.
It's now like I'm in denial about it or anything like that.
It doesn't bother me at all that I'm an old fart who
does nothing but complain about how things are now and
how much better they used to be way back when.
Things are so crazy that if Barry Goldwater,
(Barry FUCKING Goldwater!!) were around today,
the tea party would be calling him a Liberal!

[narnian60]

[Bake]

113. Old enough to know you can't ask me that!

Oh wait, this isn't a job interview?

I actually had an ancient old senior partner at Bass Berry & Sims in Nashville (he had to be at least 125) ask me that when I got out of law school. "How old ARE you, anyway?" And that was my answer. Old enough to konw yhou can't ask me that. He about sh*t his pants ... I didn't get the job, but I knew once he asked me the question, I wasn't going to get it anyway, so I decidedto f*ck with him a little bit. He said, "Oh, no, I just want to know if you have the legs to keep up with the young folks." I said, "That's WHY you can't ask me that question."

And we ended the interview. I never heard from them again.

And for the record, I ain't sayin'!

The rest of the time I'm 55. (Sighs heavily, for effect.)

[nolabear]

118. Some part of me wants to herd everyone into threads by age.

But I won't. But I will say the fact that so many of us are age peers explains a lot. I wonder if it's a Lounge thing or is most of DU fifties or above?

[cliffordu]

119. Interesting question....

I NEVER thought there were this many people this close to my age.

[idahoblue]

120. 62, going on 26 :)

not sure whether being on DU for ten years has kept me younger, or made me older.

BUT

I've connected with some really nice people in here!

Connecting with nice people is good.

Unless DU quits itself,

or I pass on

I'm here to stay!!

Keep it up Skinner! (pun intended)

[NJCher]

I'm feeling another milestone here.

[Blue_In_AK]

137. 66(6)

[paria_wave]

138. Old enough to have fought the war with you, bro

I'm 65, and I fought that mad, bad war (Hackworth's term). My grey hair came early in life, from way too many air combat missions on Uncle Ho's Trail. Hang brother, there are too few of us left and we need to tell the story.

[cliffordu]

155. Word.

hang in there.

We diminish by the day.

MOS: 67A1F.

Then they saw my shooting score. So I got promoted:

Tower guard in a 40 foot tower with with a really nice scope on an M-14.

Apparently, if I could see it, I could shoot it.

The last, best hope before the Hai Van pass.

From what I hear, these days it's a great vacation destination, what with all the beach and shit.



Hold fast, brother, hold fast.

[vanlassie]

139. 60 too! Wow there's a lot of us here!

[LeftInTX]

But it ain't DEROS this go-round.

[cliffordu]

146. Heard that, brother.

Heard that for real.

Keeping fingers crossed and family members can go, would be the highlight of my life.

[akbacchus_BC]

150. Prism, that was a good buy! Let us know if it works!

[Prism]

161. Oddly, yes

I have no lines or wrinkles yet, but my skin was definitely getting a little rougher with age. After two weeks, it smoothed and evened out admirably. It was a good investment =)

[AsahinaKimi]

149. old enough

to vote and drink, wise enough not to do both at the same time!

[akbacchus_BC]

151. You are too cute for words!

[cliffordu]

156. I think you should do both every chance you get !!

Vote FIRST and THEN drink!!!

Easy peasy!!

[AsahinaKimi]

157. Funny how I get carded

At both places.

[cliffordu]

158. Jesus.

I have no smart assed answer.

Mebbe the first time in my life that's happened.

So sorry kiddo -

[AsahinaKimi]

There's a lost decade somewhere. I haven't quite achieved what I should have.

I don't blame the economy for that, although it doesn't help.

[Liberalynn]

208. 51

born in 1962. I get confused as to whether I am classified as a Baby Boomer or not. Some lists say yes some say no.

We did have the largest graduating class ever to go through our highschool at least at that point.

I sure relate more to Baby Boomers though than Gen Xers.

[Bryn]

210. I'm 62

My, I don't feel like it. LOL

[astral]

211. I am right in between there.

(I like the idea of being a baby boomer but I think the cut off year was 1960 and you're too young.)

just wish I knew now what I knew then... or, the other way around... ?
