sneakybea July 14th, 2003, 09:52 PM I assumed you meant biological and not mental age. The latter seems to flip flop between 13 and 60!
:D
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Nutswoman!

Anne July 15th, 2003, 01:10 AM I'm 36 but it amazes me how fast I went from 26 to 36!! How did I get here?
Has anyone else felt like they went through some sort of time warp?
LongRed July 15th, 2003, 02:10 AM I'm 31.......
Time really flies! :shock:
Brenda July 15th, 2003, 02:18 AM I'm a ripe old 34 1/2....

Speedqueen July 15th, 2003, 07:34 AM I am 35 turned 35 in May. I really dont feel any older than I did in High School in the 80's. Or when I got married 10 years ago. And really that does not seem that far away when I look back.
Time sure flies when you are having fun. I understand the time flies faster and faster as you get older. :(
Speedqueen.
long_haired_rennie July 15th, 2003, 07:42 AM 26, and already starting to feel old (I'm older than the entire rest of my department at work, and older than some of the other people, too...also, those "Are you a child of the 80s" things....yarg!) Also, been divorced once, and been in love 3 times - all of which ended badly.
Well, can't go anywhere but up from here, right? Let's see what the next quarter century brings.....
smiles July 15th, 2003, 09:33 AM i'm 25 till december. :D it was just very recently that i calculated my age and found i was 25 and not 26 as i've been telling everybody :D
epiphanee July 15th, 2003, 09:49 AM I turned 38 last month...and I feel better than ever.

Quirky July 15th, 2003, 12:00 PM I am 35 years old which kind of freaks me out because I remember when my mom was 35 years old. I still feel 17 but I like myself better (stretchmarks, cellulite and all!).
AmandaPanda July 15th, 2003, 01:58 PM In about......13 days: 19 yrs. old
Grenwich July 15th, 2003, 03:48 PM I'm 37 - and will be 38 this autumn.

Nature Girl July 15th, 2003, 06:23 PM I'm 26, I think. Still haven't gotten over the whole forgetting how old you are after 21. Guess you definitely know the 10s though. Everything inbetween just kinda blends in together.
angelic July 15th, 2003, 06:42 PM I am twenty-six years old and turn twenty-seven in January.

Mark July 15th, 2003, 06:48 PM I'm 38. And my wife's 10 year old niece was just here visiting this past month and says: oh my word 38 YOU ARE OLD ...........LOL
Mark :jestor:
wtchmel July 15th, 2003, 09:42 PM I'm 37, and Like alot of people have said, you just don't feel it. It does seem like yesterday that I was first going out with my hubby. (its actually been 19.5 years we've been together. In fact we started to watch the original "Beverly Hills Cop" movie tonight, and then realized that we saw this in the theater when we were first dating.( and even bought the soundtrack,LOL<LOL) That movie came out 19 years ago! Sheeesh :shock: :shock: :rolleyes: It kinda freaks me out at times! ;)

Azhure July 19th, 2003, 03:49 AM I'm 26, turning 27 in November. Time does fly after you turn 21 and I can never remember if I am 25 or 26.
Interesting thing I discovered about the last three generations of women in the family. My grandmother was born in 1926, my mother was born in 1956 and I was born in 1976! Isn't that cool? I had to go and screw it up though, my daughter was born in 1995 :? Maybe I'll have one in 2006? NOT! Maybe my daughter can start again in 2025 :)
Athelyna July 19th, 2003, 06:14 AM I'm 18 (today actually, I was born July 19, 1985 at about 12:58 p.m)

totie July 22nd, 2003, 02:07 AM I'm 34 & Totie girl is 7.... If she were human wouldn't she be like 65 or something! She's a wise old doggy.
Oh God I wanna be 19 AGAIN.
Where has my life gone. :( :( :( :( :(

Heh, me too. I had to stop and think whether I was 27 going on 28, or 26 going on 27. I think I said the wrong one at the LHC gathering last week! First sign of senility, I guess. :)
Cheers,
Jonobie
pooh July 23rd, 2003, 10:37 PM Hmmm... let´s see now... according to the papers it should be 46. But that seems a bit strange since I look like 35 and feel like 24...
Anyway...next year I´ll be 45. Yes I´ve learned how to reverse the ageing process! :D . (The secret is in Deepak Chopra´s book "Grow Younger, Live Longer).
pooh July 23rd, 2003, 10:58 PM Where has my life gone. :( :( :( :( :(

Here is the explanation from John Lennon:

Blondiesturn July 24th, 2003, 12:19 PM I am 41 years old, (42 in Oct). My sweetheart Darrell whom I have been with for 9 years is 29 yrs old, (30 in Jan) Hey, I heard that! :P I have 4 boys 25, 28, 15 & 14, two of which are still at home.
I am trying hard to grow old gracefully but this gravity thing is getting me down, ;)

I am 41 years old
My sweetheart Darrell is 29 yrs old
Hey, I heard that!
Aw, shucks, Blondie, we're a fun and very diverse bunch
with regard to everything, even ages.
There are a few with younger men, some with same age,
and then there are those of us with older men.
Hey, whatever's comfy works for us.
Welcome aboard, Lady!
Oh, by the way, your tag name sounds familiar.
Didn't someone mention you having hair toys or something?
:-)
Melusina July 24th, 2003, 04:25 PM I am 41 years old, (42 in Oct). My sweetheart Darrell whom I have been with for 9 years is 29 yrs old, (30 in Jan) Hey, I heard that! :P
Heh. You heard me say, "go, you!" :mrgreen:
DBF is 8 yrs younger than me.

I warn you, they are addictive. I already have several, and I am just getting started.

Siobhan July 29th, 2003, 12:23 PM 27 ans seriously beginning to forget how old I actually am each year, DH is no good at reminding me either (he's 40, brain cells have begun the degeneration :twisted: , older you get it seems to matter less and less
LaPisLaZuLi August 4th, 2003, 08:10 AM I'm 47 this year. *sigh*
I'm glad others have that sense of not feeling any different than when they were younger. I don't either, except when I look back at all the places I've gone and things I've seen and done. Just can't cram all that in a few years!
scarlett August 4th, 2003, 12:34 PM I'm 31, today anyway.
Accolady August 4th, 2003, 12:37 PM I'm 31, today anyway.
Aww, Scarlett, now you have to tell when your birthday is!
:-) If you want to, that is.
Dianna August 5th, 2003, 06:12 AM I'm 37. Personality-wise it doesn't seem that different from, say, 27, but I find that I have ever so much more internal tranquility now. I was talking about this the other day with my younger by 8 years sis; it isn't that I have less energy to agitate about things, it's just that now I choose *what* I'm going to agitate about much more carefully.
Scarlett - Do you mean Happy Birthday yesterday to Scarlett and Ladybug is in order? If so, well then -
Happy Birthday to you both!
Kirochka August 5th, 2003, 07:00 AM Not going to be 41 for another ten days!!! ;)
DH is 60, so he refuses to listen to me claim to be getting old.
But on the other hand, I feel like 1980 was just yesterday...!
Accolady August 5th, 2003, 07:13 AM Good for you!
My hubby is 17 years older than I am.
Wouldn't take one my age for the world.

Mary Kelly August 11th, 2003, 09:29 AM I'll be 26 in a couple of months, so I voted for 26-30. OK, kind of a lie, but hey - this way it'll be true for a longer time ;) afterwards!
Anne August 12th, 2003, 04:34 AM I am 41 years old, (42 in Oct). My sweetheart Darrell whom I have been with for 9 years is 29 yrs old, (30 in Jan) Hey, I heard that! :P
Heh. You heard me say, "go, you!" :mrgreen:
DBF is 8 yrs younger than me.
Hey, I've got one too :D 6 years younger than me.
Amazon August 12th, 2003, 05:26 AM I just realized, I never answered this, just voted. Lol!
I'm 42, just married 20 years and feel like I am in my 30's for losing a few years there when time seemed to stand still.
You wake up one day and say, damn how did that happen?
MemSahib August 12th, 2003, 02:18 PM Aaaack. OK, OK, I admitted right off the bat to being a grandmother, but now I find there is only 1 (one) other person here in my age range?!! And I have a birthday... soon. The old grey mare she ain't what she used to be.
I'll be 53 on Friday. There.
Blessings,

Meezer September 14th, 2003, 06:02 AM I'm 26... will be 27 on November 20th.
There sure are a lot of us '76 and '77 babies floating around here!!! Long hair must be written in our stars!!! ;)
merryrose31 September 18th, 2003, 05:03 AM Mem-sahib --When I'm a grandmother, I want to have rosy cheeks, a smile, and a bun of shining white hair. I'm not that far behind you in age -- 48. But, I have only a few silver strands, and I must say that I'm not in a hurry to get to the shining white stage.
Avrilon, your new photo is beautiful. There's no way anyone would guess that you are 52 just by looking.
By the way, how long does the effect of a George Michael treatment last?
Nanny September 19th, 2003, 03:14 AM I TOLD you all that I'm the oldest!! 58 years old...and growing older by the minute. You'd think that I'd be doing something more 'grandmotherly' like baking cookies or sitting in a rocker knitting!! (Blah!)
I'm going down fighting, kicking, screaming, and with alot of hair, I hope!

scarlett December 17th, 2003, 10:04 AM I'm 31, today anyway.
Aww, Scarlett, now you have to tell when your birthday is!
:-) If you want to, that is.
Hehe, I answered this thread ages ago and then wandered off. Ladybug and I are actually 7. ;) We were born on Feburary 29, 72.
And there in no way Avrilon is 52. Not with that hair. I guess her to be about 27. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Quirky December 17th, 2003, 10:40 AM Happy late birthday ladybug and scarlett!!!

Scary thought for those of us born early 70's or before.... in two years, someone born in the '90s will be driving :twisted:
Cheers!
sgrace February 26th, 2004, 03:25 PM I'm suprised by the relatively young ages around here. I'm 26 but will be 27 in April. A lot of members on here are my same age! I work at a university where the average age is about 20 (I mean, I'm literally the old lady around the office), and my fiancee just turned 34, so I don't often get to socialize with many of my real biological peers! Yay another reason to love longhair!
LONGHAIR February 26th, 2004, 06:10 PM If everyone fills in the blanks in their profile................it will be apparent
anniespagani February 27th, 2004, 07:26 PM 23....Just barely in Jan.

BigChiefHoho March 4th, 2004, 06:16 PM Almost nineteen here, but everyone thinks I'm a little kid. Last time I went to the Chinese place with my family, the host asked if I was eligible for the 12-and-under rate. :?
summr March 6th, 2004, 03:05 PM For now.....36 :)
ophelia March 14th, 2004, 06:43 PM I'm 23 but I DO want to say that I have every intention of having long hair 60+. Why don't more older women do it, I wonder? I think silver hair looks so beautiful long (I am getting there though, I recently plucked 3 bonafide silver (not gray) hairs from the top of my head). Long hair is youthful, graceful and timeless, no question about it. I particularly admire Demi Moore's long hair.
woodlandnymph March 19th, 2004, 07:15 PM 28 here - and life is just getting better and better. Just spoke recently with someone about organizing our tenth high school class reunion. [it came so fast!]
I am approaching a point in my life where I am at peace with myself. No longer do I feel I need to live up to a imagined standard unlike my past insecure teenage viewpoint. Things are definitely looking up. :gabigrin: :gabigrin: :gabigrin: :gabigrin:

Gem April 9th, 2004, 02:56 PM I'm 19, but people routinely ask if I'm in high school yet. My husband is 21, but looks 25...he gets some amazing glares when we hold hands in public :suspect:
lol :roll:
requiemofroses April 13th, 2004, 04:03 PM Well, I technically had to pick the 15-19 bracket, but it felt funny. I'm 19 (going to be 20 in September) but sometimes I feel as if I should really be 25. :ponder: :tongue:
Sally June 14th, 2004, 05:39 AM Happy happy birthday, Nutswmn (hope I got the spelling right) :cake: ..........WOOPS! just realize this was posted almost a year ago. So, a very happy belated 30th, and a happier still premature 31st, a month to the day early.
And, definitely, LongRed, time positively flies. I have no idea how it happened that I'll be 50 in November. :rolleyes: Oh well, may as well enjoy it... :grin:
Butters June 14th, 2004, 09:38 AM I am 21. Man I feel older though. I have already been married, bought and sold my first house, and moved 3000 miles from home.
Butters is going to be 3 this November. I still havent had the heart to tell him that he is a dog.
Raven June 15th, 2004, 01:04 PM I'm 23. 24 in September :)
Luciano June 16th, 2004, 09:11 PM I am 26 until
Alun June 16th, 2004, 10:16 PM 46 here.
Sometimes I feel like I am behind in my life. I am doing things I should have done years ago.
I have been thinking about law school, but I would be over 50 on graduation.
My kids are young for a guy of my age. Our eldest is 10. I feel like their friends' parents are kids!
My wife is only 37. She wanted me to colour my hair, because I had so many white hairs and am older than her. I was skeptical, because of the length. Growing out dye with long hair is no joke.
Eventually I decided to use henna, which I used to do 20 years ago, and it has turned out quite well. I got good results with something labelled 'brown henna'. The grey looked like blond highlights, and has darkened since. There is also more red in it now than when I did it.
Grey_Lady June 17th, 2004, 11:44 AM I'm 23. Except for my knees, which seem to mysteriously be 40 years older than the rest of me. I hope I'll still be able to walk in a few years. :rolleyes:
Beatnik Guy June 17th, 2004, 12:36 PM No, sorry; I don't like how those ages have been *arbitrarily split* for the poll.... :silly:
More to the point, how old do you think I am? 8)

Silvia June 17th, 2004, 12:41 PM I'm 18!
Well, actually I'll be 18 in a couple of months, August ir round the corner :)
Sally June 29th, 2004, 06:35 AM No, sorry; I don't like how those ages have been *arbitrarily split* for the poll.... :silly:

Chris
Oh oh, soon you'll be asking things like "do these pants make me look fat?" :wink: .
Alun -- I know just how you feel. I'm 3 years older and feel about 18 or so years behind in my life... just finished a grad degree 3 years ago, starting out in a new career, got married late, just bought my first house.... it's a weird feeling; some things i like about it; some i most definitely do not... have to keep reminding myself that i wasn't just comatose under a rock for those years, but doing other things....
Blondiesturn June 29th, 2004, 07:07 AM 42 and I will be 43 in October!
My sig other of 10 years is 30
HEY! I HEARD THAT!!!! :twisted:
My handsome boys are 26, 19, 16 & 15, I started young huh?
Dvips June 29th, 2004, 08:39 AM Blondiesturn you rock! and so do your hairforks

My handsome boys are 26, 19, 16 & 15, I started young huh?
I was 18 when my oldest was born. I'm not saying I endorse or encourage teen pregnancy but it's always nice to see others like me who are making it work. I'm not sure I worded that properly. I'm sure you'll understand what I mean, though! :flower:
maggie03 June 29th, 2004, 03:01 PM 22. I'll be 23 in August - not looking forward to it. 23 sounds so old for some reason. 22 still sounds like a young adult. I'll have to start acting mature and watch CNN (like I don't already - look, I've become old and boring before my time, sigh. :rolleyes: )
GettingThere June 29th, 2004, 03:07 PM I'm 27 and hubby is 29. Our daughter is 10 :bigeyes: . Wow do they grow up fast!
We've been married 11 years in November and couldn't be happier. I also don't encourage teen motherhood but I think we've turned out OK!
I usually "forget" how old I am. Can you imagine how I'll be when I get older....not even 30 and can't remember my age!
Accolady June 29th, 2004, 03:47 PM Whoops!
I didn't even realize I'd not taken the poll myself!
I turned 39 May 31st.
Funny thing is, I always thought I would be
officially 'old' at 37. I guess I must have cursed
myself, because things began to fall apart about that
time. LOL.
Some days I feel like I'm ancient with regard to
how I feel physically, other times I think I'm stronger
now than when I was 18. Perhaps all this work at home
is making me feel old. I need to take more breaks and
learn to relax!
This is really a fun poll! It's neat to see the makeup of
our members. Thank everyone who has participated!

MaryR2 July 13th, 2004, 01:40 AM Whatever happened to the old "never ask a lady her age" thing? LOL....well I am 47 for another month. And yes time does go faster as you age....sigh....I just refuse to believe my 30th class reunion is coming up already. I only graduated a couple years ago...honest!!!....or at least it feels that way.
PS: THe old "Life begins at 40" thing...well its true...trust me :twisted:

Gaijin August 8th, 2004, 08:51 PM I'm 24, and I feel my age. Not younger or older. :grin:
bte August 12th, 2004, 09:48 PM It's interesting that there's such a mix of ages, also that many posts talk of feeling a different age from their actual age. It is believed that all of us have a 'natural age'. We spend some of our lives waiting to achieve it, a few brief months enjoying it in reality, and the rest of our lives struggling to remain there.
Me? I'm 49, but I always think I'm about 20.
Arianne August 12th, 2004, 10:20 PM I absolutely know what you mean! I'm 33, but I really don't feel any different than I did when I was 23. Somehow... I doubt that is ever going to change. ;)
Wind Dragon August 15th, 2004, 04:53 PM I said 41, even though that technically isn't for another couple of months.
Heh. My dad told me a little while back that "it's awkward being a 33 year old man in an 83 year old body." :D
luna* August 18th, 2004, 01:14 PM I turned 33 last month. :smile:

<laugh> I *love* that quote! And it's so true. I don't think many of us age past 30 between our ears...I keep being startled by that old woman in the mirror.
Isare August 22nd, 2004, 09:26 AM Starfilly, you're no longer alone. I'm 16 years old as well!
Jesmiasan August 31st, 2004, 09:54 PM I'm 30 so i'm no longer a 20-something :wail: but i'm stuck in the early twenties mode, my mind just doesn't want to grow up :lol:. Doesn't help when people mistake you for a 24-25 year old. Oh well! :smile:

auntiejen October 24th, 2004, 03:21 PM I'm 27, and I didn't realize I'm now old enough for there to be a generation gap until some of my references to my school years started getting blank stares from the 16-18 year olds at work. I realized some of my favorite songs came out the year these girls had been born, eep. But it's okay, 'cause another co-worker told me that maturity is overrated and a birthday didn't mean I suddenly had to start "acting my age". Since she's older and wiser, I'll believe her.
heathernm October 24th, 2004, 05:04 PM I'm 26, though many days - I feel much older :grin:
heathernm October 24th, 2004, 05:06 PM oops.. forgot to say the most important part - though I feel older, when I'm playing with the kids hubby says I act like a 5 year old! I love to get down on their level and act their age, instead of mine! :silly:

Silverlady November 2nd, 2004, 03:49 PM I am 53 and will be 54 on Dec. 1st. Am I the oldest one in the group? Yes, where has the time gone? Believe me, as you get older, it will go even faster.... :flower:

moon_dance November 20th, 2004, 03:32 PM Ah Silverlady, you are such an inspiration.
I have given up the (dye) bottle to let mine just be. I feel lucky to have them and consider them a badge of honor for having made it this far. Okay, I guess it helps that I was born with a few silver hairs, too.
CelticStories November 20th, 2004, 08:49 PM 15 - Just enough room on the poll for me. ^^ I'll be 16 in January.
Pilgrim November 20th, 2004, 09:00 PM I'm 47. It's funny; at one time that would have sounded soooo old, but once you get here, you're still you with all your memories and you feel like the same person except when you look in the mirror, you can see some changes. I saw my first gray hairs at the age of 25, but they are really kicking in now. For a long time, I had one white streak. With my hair being so thick, it didn't always show, but actually it was kind of neat. I colored my hair for awhile, but I am letting it go gray (for now), since coloring dries my hair out.
Honestly, I wouldn't go back to a younger age even if I could. There's a lot of value to what one learns along the way, IMO.

exclusively di July 6th, 2005, 03:08 PM Hmmmm, there are 31 of us, at 46 to 50.
I am always surprised to realize I'm there. I've thought about it a lot this year. All my 'buddies', DH, our best friends, etc are older than I, by several years and I've been known to be pestiferous about their age. They say I have some reaping to do this next birthday. My answer to that is that they are so far past 50 that my turning 50 is no big deal. They still say I better watch out, they're going to be out to get me back! (I really do have it coming, but don't tell them I admitted it!!)
When it hits me though, is every time my oldest son has a birthday. And this last year, I said I thought a lot about it, my second son turned 30! My oldest turned 32! Whenever he has a birthday I think 'how can I be old enough to have a son that age? I'm only that age!!!' But I'm not. I only feel that age. I am rarely taken for my age if people look at me. If they look at my face, not the colour of my hair.
I'm all white around my face, so if they look at that and not me, they will see an older woman. Of course, my 'buddies' always remind me of that when I remind them how old they are!! We really do have a lot of fun with all that. The oldest of us is starting to catch up with me in that area though. His is evenly dispersed throughout his hair though, not like mine, almost all in front. They are all blondes, I'm a chestnut, so they wouldn't show it as well even if they had it!! I wouldn't trade it though, I love the silver and earned every one of them!!
Koala Kim July 6th, 2005, 03:19 PM Don't know if I posted or not (although it does look like I voted).

I keep having to think before I say how old I am, I keep wanting to say 26 or something - my mind just hasn't cought up yet.
I don't mind getting older so far at all though, I feel as if I'm finally growing into myself a little bit.
I can't wait to be a cranky old biddy, swigging gin and chewing cigars, surrounded by dozens of cats and a few dogs....
Actually, all that's missing is a cat or two and the cigar. ;)
cookiemonster July 10th, 2005, 05:43 AM I'm 15, but I'll be 16 in about a month and a half. Unfortunately there are those out there who think I still look 13. My mom claims it's the Swedish in me, and that I'll be thankful once I get older. :rolleyes:

And cookiemonster... Yeah, me too. My mom still has lots of wrinkles though, so it might not be a good thing even then. :silly:
