Re: What age group do you fall into?

Another oldster, here. Well, at least according to the calendar. I still feel like I did when I was 27. Of course, when I was 27, I had already had two knee surgeries, foot surgery, back pain, and arthritic changes in my shoulders. Oh, and two concussions, two broken ribs, cracked sternum, broken right arm, broken kneecap, loads of stitches (ice hockey player through college and into aldulthood), and a busted tailbone (which occurred at the same time as the cracked sternum and one of the concussions).

Evel Knievel was a sissy.
   

Oh, no complaining about gray hair, people! I'd kill for a full head of gray hair, or a full head of any color hair!

Dang, man, you've had almost as many breaks as I have!  (Not really, but that's still a lot.)

I turn the big three nine in six days.  I'm with you on the hair, I've been completely bald three times now and it seriously blows.  And to be completely sexist about it, I think it blows more for women.  My partner has a receding hairline and it 'ain't no thing' but people notice and seem to care about women's thinning hair.  

I cherish every hair on my silly little head, no matter the color.

As far as what Curio was saying, I think it's the opposite.  It took me several "pairings" and having kids to figure out that I needed to stop pretending to believe in something I didn't.  Focusing on people rather than fantasy really makes a person realize what in the world they are doing.

I'm just reporting the statistics.

I'm only 17, so I'm one of the youngest members here.

Wow, this is a young group, including me at 22. But, as with some others, I feel older thanks to a (short) lifetime of accident-proneness. 4 broken ankles, 3 broken wrists, 1 concussion, 2 reconstructed ACL's (each knee of course), and reconstructed shoulder...and my back hurts...

Actually, it looks like about fifty percent of people who voted in the poll are over thirty.  Compared to other forums I've hung out in, this is an older complement.

Right you are, Kylyssa. You caught me cheating...I looked at the longest bar on the graph, without looking at the actual numbers.

Wait!  What in the world were you guys doing up so late?  How'd that happen, hehe.  Glad to see a good group joined my 30s, yippee!!

My hubby and I are 43, and don't need no stinking god. I gave up the delusion in my twenties, he gave it up even earlier. So who here is older than me?
