I'm hitting 60 in a a couple of of months. Nothing special, and nothing I can do about it.

You forgot older than dirt and older than rocks. :biggrin:
OK, I'm old, but I have no options in that regard.

Well, I do have one, but I'm not willing to exercise that one just yet.
 
20 here.

Actually I think an option "< 10" would have been interesting!
 
Turbo is being modest to avoid intimidating you. The fact is, he has to scrape the dinosaur crap off of the stone tablet in order to read the glyphs on his birth certificate.

I'll be a sprightly 56 in about a month. o:)
 
I just turned 19.
 
15. I am such a noob. :approve:
 
I am 39.95 plus shipping and handling.What? I can't use a gag more than once per forum?

Act now, and we'll double your order. Just pay separate handling and shipping.

I depressingly got my age wrong yesterday and realized I'm actually a year older than I think.

Everyone crosses an invisible threshold where they must resort to calculating their age.

"Let's see, 2012 ... minus 1964... 48! No, it's not March yet. 47."

You seem to have crossed it.
 
I thought you turned 14 micro?
 
Born in 87, who else? :)
 
Why the heck are the 30s lumped in with those 40s dinosaurs? The OP must be young. I remember when anything over 30 was 'old.'

And Dave: There is also a threshold where when somebody mentions something that is x years in the future and you wonder "will I still be here?" :rolleyes:

There is a positive spin on this. From time to time I now think, "I'll probably be dead by then. Not my problem!"

Sometimes, that's a good thing.
 
I remember being about 6 years old, and thinking "1970 is coming! A whole new decade!"

I also remember wondering where I would be when the year 2000 came along. "Wow!" I knew I would be 36, and tried to imagine who I would be.

I remember doing that. But I never thought I would live this long! Honestly, when I was very young, I figured the US and the Soviets would launch and end it all first. It was all too real back then.

ha! I kinda do this too. It hurts my retirement funding. It's just hard for me to imagine me living to 65, so why waste all that money by saving it lol
 
I never thought there be anything after 2000. I did know I will be 38 in 2000, but I never realized I will get older after that, somehow 2K was putting a limit to my imagination.
 
As a kid, I, too, calculated the age I'd be on New Year's Eve 2000. I clearly remember thinking, Too bad I'll be too old (36) to really enjoy or appreciate the significance of seeing a new millennium :smile:.
 
Hey kids the older you get the older old gets. To me, 80 is looking old now. This has been going on since I turned 30, back when I thought 40 was old.
