Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the age range of participants in the nuclear engineering field, with a focus on the ages of various members and their self-reported ages. The conversation is informal and humorous, reflecting on how age is perceived within the community.

Discussion Character

  • Meta-discussion
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants express that they feel young compared to others in the forum, with one stating they are 31 and questioning if others are younger.

  • There are references to the ages of other members, with some participants claiming to know the ages of others, often in jest.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally share their ages and engage in light-hearted banter about age, but there is no consensus on a specific age range for scientists in the nuclear engineering field. The discussion remains informal and humorous without a definitive conclusion.

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects a wide range of ages and attitudes towards aging, but does not provide a structured analysis of age demographics within the nuclear engineering field.

I stopped counting at 29. I think I know what's keeping me so youthful though...I'm still single! No men to wear me down and give me gray hair. :smile: :smile:
That's why you're supposed to date a younger guy so he can help you feel young. :wink:

I'm 26 by the way. :biggrin:

You're only as old as the woman you feel. So my age is undefined. :frown:

39...

(why do messages have to be ten words? How annoying. 39 is a perfectly delightful answer for this thread. Now I have to type and write and type and write and maybe even make up words like "zoquo" just to make it to the limit so this will post.

So, has anyone zoquoed lately? I got so wet last time we went zoquoing. Nearly crashed, too, almost blacked out. Wild, man. It took us a long time to warm up afterwards, and we still haven't cleaned the boards. But we're thinking of entering a local zoquo contest, maybe see if we can place this year.

There, that should be long einough.)

Says the Seventeen year old?

Moonbear and I are further apart in age than you two. And we're a couple of old farts (sorry Moonbear, I admit I'm fartier.)

OH. Well, by all means then. :smile: :smile:

(yomamma, you're not the youngest. My eight year old occasionally contributes to my posts. And I know that you don't play with trucks anymore, except maybe the ones on the computer games.)

Yes, I've always sensed an essentially ante-bellum world outlook underpinning your posts.

Even when you try to stress yourself or stress any others, the truth I believe is still there in my head, but anyway, I guess you are still 59. :wink:

Many pop-ups in different forums you :partially: own in the Internet have no relation to a family tree people have in hand.

I am 33 living in Japan.:wink:

not too far from 25

Hey, we're almost the same age (three months apart). You have a pretty hot boyfriend, by the way.

Yes, I'm allowed to say that.

Wait a second. If you're 20, you can buy cigarettes, can't you? You can in California. I distinctly remember buying cigarettes for my friends in high school after being the first to turn 18.
