Average Age?

C.I., you and I are in the same age grade. I feel very young too. Isn't it strange how fast the years have past, and we feel like we have not changed--much? I'm the same kid in an older body. Is that true for you too?

Region. No, that would not have been funny.

I would have thought there would be many more here under 30.

I think I post more than the average A2Ker because I am retired. I go from one activity to another, including sitting at the PC and making posts. I wonder how many people post while at work. Many of the daytime posters must be retired. I sometimes wonder who is as old as me.

Anyway, I'm 18.
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
--Albert Einstein (03/14/1879-1955)


And in the spirit of people's opinions of inner age varying:
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind ... it doesn't matter

And another quote I tend to agree with:
Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.

The simply truth as I have seen unstated is as follows: The older you are the more chance you've experienced more and therefor the higher the odds are that you might have learned more.

41, and except for all the aches and pains, the inability to sprint without pulling something, odd medications my doctor has prescribed, and the grey hairs, I feel like 25.

It IS true: getting old is not for sissys. I have a continuous background of pain, mainly aching joints (torn shoulder tendon, osteo-arthritis, shortened muscles, etc.). But I don't even notice them anymore. It's like background noise; not music, noise.

Actually, looking at this again, my vote is only correct for one more week. Nooo! I don't want to grow up, and have to declare a major, and actually get a job! No! *protests*

Seriously though, I am afraid of turning 20. For no apparent reason. It's just got a big scary zero in it.

Hi, Rufio. I understand what you mean. I felt a bit anxious about leaving my teens. I don't think it was because of the big scary zero, but who knows? I can't remember that far back. Now I'm facing the big scary zero in 70. But it's not too scary. You have a whole life ahead of you. I envy you and wish you luck.

yeah - 20 sucks, man. seriously. better enjoy those last days of the enjoyable part of your life while you still can ... i mean it, man. soon, it'll all be over, and you'll end up fleeing the misery that is life over 20 and spending all your time here ...

its sad. but what can you do, when you're over twenty-two?*




*("twenty" didnt rhyme)

Oh, I don't know, my teens weren't terribly enjoyable anyway, at least not until I got out of high school. It's just a whole new self-definition thing, you know? It's wierd.

You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're older still
...
Time
keeps marching on
And Time
is still marching on

Ah, I am older, but younger than that now.

I was 25 the year Time magazine's Man of the Year* was a generic Twenty Five year old person, which means it must have been in 1966 or 1967. Which was when a lot of things livened up, as has been written about many times since. I am rather glad I was around then and before and this long after. My only quibble is one most may get to appreciate - it all goes so fast. I would like some decades, or if not decades, particular years, to expand.






* I think they added women at some point, or did they?

Just reached the half-century mark. It's not as bad as they said it would be..... what was it that they said? Can't seem to remember ....

I highly doubt it. There is a minimum age requirement here, and I'm pretty sure it's older than ten. Slappy's probably playin' with ya.

shewolf....someone's been tracking your posts? They should get a life.

I'm 33, and I can post frequently here as I work from home, and get insomnia on occasion. I've always felt older, but then I think of my fondness for fart jokes, and all is good.

u said "fart"!
