So far I'm the oldest and, unless Grampster chimes in, I'll remain in 1st place (or is that last place?).
-
38 soon. *crickets* from our better looking members...
-

I distinctly do not recall you as being on the feasability committee regarding whether or not to have dirt.
So far, all of you read in your school history books about stuff I did. For some of you, I'm old enough to be your father. Be glad your name is not "Luke".
stay safe.

-
nearing 50, but still feel like i'm 28!
When I turned 50 I told people I feel better today than the day I turned 20, of course the day I turned 20 I was in the hospital with, as the Navy doctor said "the worst case of mono he'd ever seen".

I'll be 70 this year. [popcorn] Monkeyleg moves into 2nd place. :'(

My mother and father lived to 92. One of my mother's sisters lived to 94, as did my dad's older brother. My mother's grandmother lived to 102.
I think a lot of others are closer to the ground than I am. ;)

You've never mentioned that you're part of the Howard families. :laugh:

45 by birth, 60 by feeling, 16 by action.

Hey, I don't even have to do that! I'll be 35 this year.
And checking the math... I don't care to be 23 again, so I'll stick with decimal for now.

It kind of falls apart when you get to '3A'

Curses!
Less than a month behind.

I still fit in the first bracket!! I just turned 29 :P

Just came to the realization a couple of days ago that I am the oldest executive in the building where I work. That includes even the senior management. I've never been in that situation before. Weird, it is.

I'm older than dirt.
-
27 here.
-
I'm 44, and I don't even own one.
-
I'm older than dirt.
I can vouch for Hawkmoon. He is in fact older than dirt. ;)
-
I got monkeyleg on parents, too. Dad was 92 and mom was 97 when they passed. My dad's sister was 90 and mom's sister was 92. He does have me on the 102 year old, though.
I also think it is time that you young snots start treating your elders with the respect we deserve. That amounts to you supplying us with whatever we want whenever we want it. If you think we want something for nothing, you will be wrong. We will give you advice; which will be more valuable than anything else you might lust after.
-
30 here.
-
I'm 37. I wonder if next year I'll become special...
-
I am but a mere child.
Three score and three
The years of mine they be;
'Tis a mere moment in time
That's turned my hair to rime;
When I think of me,
and the mirror see,
It's clear that what is real
Is not the way I feel.
-
47 and holding.
-
63 here.
lots of 1973 babies here. I turn forty May 1st.
My daughter was born in 1973. She'll be 40 in October.
-
My oldest was born in June of 1976.
She has produced three granddaughters and brought me a son-in-law who shoots rifle better than I do.
-
41 here, till July.

You are already special in our eyes. :)

Holding what? (on second thought, maybe I don't want to know)

"Short bus special"
And he hits it out of the park.

41 here. Finally found a thread I'm intelligent enough to post in! I'm a veterinarian who thought he was fairly well rounded until I came to APS. ;)

Rodensouth, welcome. You are afraid of little old us? I believe that you have a very tough job due to the fact that you patients cannot talk to you to tell you what is wrong.
-
Thanks adively! Not so much afraid,as this is a friendly sort of forum, but aware of my ignorance on some of the topics of discussion.
I came here on advise of ArfinGreebly looking for a place to rant about politics, but I found a source of many other cool things to ponder.
Sometimes I think it's a good thing I don't know what the critters are thinking, because I'm fairly certain cats would hurt my feelings!
-
55. Or is it 56? Hell, I can't remember! Doesn't matter though, except for the various aches and pains, I still feel 18.
-
Welcome aboard Rodensouth.
Many of us here share a joy of learning and sharing what we know.
With most of us being out in the country or just animal people, your talents would be a great addition to the group, if your up for it?
Don't worry about jumping into a conversation, asking a question or like me most of the time, just sit back and enjoy.

Finally! A doctor! We needed one around here.
Plus, you can help with the pets, too. =D

Remember older does not mean wiser.
I was in my late 20 when I gave my boss/ owner of the business that his newly hired cfo had problems. That problem is that last 4 companies we worked for went belly up. Needless to say the cfo did not last long.
-
Oh ya 34 here.
-
I must be an infant. Been up since 2 AM, fussing and unable to get back to sleep for no discernable reason. I'm not wet, I've been fed, took Gas-X for the burps, and there are no monsters under the bed or in the closet.
If this is how that second childhood is going to play out, I'm going to skip it and go sit on the sofa, drool, and tell pointless stories like Grandpa Simpson.
stay ssafe.
-
Don't tell the same pointless stories that I do, or people will be doubly bored.

It was the style at the time.

44 for a few more months. Some days I feel like I could be Grampster's or Monkeyleg's emotional ages, some days I feel like I could be their literal ages. But every day I'm young enough to be a daughter to either of them. >:D
-
Mrs. Smith, my wife would have had to be 15 at the time she gave birth to you for me to be your father. And I would have been in prison after that. ;)
Adively, pretty much any story I tell that begins with "I remember" is going to be a boring story.

Boring and suspect are not mutually exclusive...

I was going to put an age in here, but with all of this "daddy" talk, I don't think I will!!! :O =D

Declining to vote, because in a couple months I go up an age category. Which, if DnD has taught me anything, will give me -1 to Str Dex and Con, but a much needed +1 to Int Wis and Cha.

So not going to comment on account of my allergy to being shot repeatedly.

I thought that was a pretty common age for marriage back in those days...

That's what I thought also, especially since 27 was considered middle aged. >:D

I remember WW II troop trains. I clearly remember VE Day -- all the grownups went crazy because, as it was explained to me, "Now all the daddies can come home."
I'm 71.
-
42 as of Jan. 7.
A Christmas baby, like my dad, but we figured we'd cover both calendars just in case. =D
-
36...
-
Got to click on 50-59. Not for much longer, might as well enjoy it while I can.
-
Old enough that my coworkers have no idea what I'm talking about much of the time. Eddie Haskell, Scotty, Moe, Larry and Curly, Dirty Harry, Bronson? "Like dude...OMG, WTF is that crazy old dude talking about? Why hasn't he retired yet?" I'm 56.
-
You are already special in our eyes. :)
Aww... =D
"Short bus special"
You're just jealous. =D
-
Be 44 in Feb. but I refuse to let maturity interfere with my childhood development.
-
PU-lease!
The lot of you could WISH you had such a wonderful person as myself for a daughter.

Oh, yeah.
I started quoting Monty Python and the Holy Grail the other day, and our receptionist (every year we get a HS senior on a work program) had no clue what it was.
<shakes head sadly>

My daughter is a little older than you. But you have a job.

Born a couple of centuries too late.

That's sad.
My daughter thinks Monty Python is hilarious and sings along with "Camelot" form Holy Grail.

My oldest daughter saw The Dark Crystal when it was still in theaters, Secret of NIMH when it was still new, and Princess Bride when it was still new. Quotes them all. Loves Monty Python and used to like Benny Hill.
In fact all of my kids quote Princess Bride, have some Monty Python familiarity, and pretty much all of us riff off of Eddie Izzard. Like you do.
Sadly, none of them can quote Firefly.
I guess my job's not done yet.

*scratches head* I think my dad might have been a little confused as to the proper movie going experiance for a child.
Because I didn't get most of that till I was picking my own movies, and I was praised for quoting Die Hard and The Last Boyscout...
:facepalm:
"Where you calling from, Milo? The bottem of the pool?"

Goober has seen those three, too, but loves The Dark Crystal and Princess Bride. She's starting to take after me (poor kid) and comparing the special effects between those movies and movies today. I have a future techie on my hands. Oh darn, someone to play with soundboards with me.
