Topic: How old are you?

[TechPro]

At my age, you people who start talking about how old you are ... you're still just kids and it's hilarious listening to you talk about "how old" you think you are.   

I think WillyP would agree with me.

You're not old, TechNor! If you think you feel like a kid and can move, you might as well be 25! Age is just a count of how many revolutions the earth made around the sun in our lifetimes. I hope I make it to 117.

I'm not old.  My Father, he's old and he only recently became 'old' in my opinion.

I'm just sayin' it's funny listening to you guys talk like you're all grown up.  Pffft!  You guys really have no idea the ways your perspective is going to change in the next 20 years. 


Just wondering, why do you want to live to the year 2102?  Why not 2101 or 2100?

When I turned 39 quite a while ago, I thought "Now I've become the kind of person I never wanted to be when I was 19."

That's one of the illusions of youth. Age has to do with your state of mind in a way, but it also has to do with experiences you make, and with your body starting to give in to the effects of decades of attrition at some point of time, and the brain acting differently as your hormone balance changes.

Well, at 50, i guess I am the official 'old guy' here.   Did I hear my name mentioned? eh? What's that sonny? Let me turn up my hearing aid, hand me my cane, will ya?

I'm not saying I'm old, it's just how people talk. I'm 28 years old. I don't say "young", that sounds weird. "I'm 28 years young."

[Foil]

Wait, so I'm the only "thirty-something" here?  You're all young'ns and old fogies!

50 isn't old.  It's only 15 years until you can retire and enjoy life (read: play Descent constantly ).  My aunt and godmother turns 50 this week.
This is what I tell Scare too.

I'm going to stop reading this thread now.  Too many world-shattering revelations (j/k).
I knew I was at the low end of the spectrum but not this low.

See, You've still got your reflexes and you can still remember what it is that bothers you.  When you're older and senility kicks in... it's a better deal because you can't remember what it was that bothered ya in the first place.

the thrill of growing up

happy 500 posts.

[Alieo]

Ooh! Yeah, Happy 500 TechNor! Btw... why did you change from TechPro to TechNor?

[DarkWing]

He changed it when all of us changed our display names to avoid a hack attempt.  He's never changed it back.



Oh, yeah.  I still lurk around here now and then, and I'm over 40 (back on topic).

[Alieo]

No, he was DaDaDa! TechPro! (something like that (back off topic ;-)))

[Scyphi]

That's about right Alieo. That username always reminded me of the Bounty paper towel commercials for some reason.

If I could remember what we were talking about, I am sure I would agree with you.
