Age Poll

[W2R]

I'm 68 (how'd that happen?) and DW is 61, will be 62 in a couple of months.

And yes, I remember nine planets and 48 stars on the flag, black & white TVs and black rotary dial telephones. Long distance phone calls were horribly expensive so the only time they were made was when somebody was born or died, and maybe Christmas.

Just wait until you turn 70! Then you will *really* be wondering how that ever happened.

The first 70 years have been such a wonderful ride. Hoping for another 30 but I will gratefully take whatever years I am given.

[NW-Bound]

I have always felt like I am in the 60s, even when I was in the 40s.

My body is catching up with my mind.

My wife and I were both born in 1959, and we are both 59. We are both on pensions, and not sure if we want SS before 72. We do not plan on 'needing' SS at any point.

I was stationed in Naples Italy for 3 years working as an MP. You can do a lot in Italy with sign, though the military ran us through a class on all of the gestures.

Lucky you having a telephone and TV!

 

[JoeWras]

Since I was always way younger than my clients, if the subject of age came up my response was "I was born when there was still 48 stars on the flag". That worked for them.

There were only 48 stars? Really?

 

[ProspectiveBum]

DW & I both have birthdays in September. She'll be 50, and I'll be 46. I considered myself a Young(ish) Dreamer when I found this site. Not so much anymore.
