41 here. I know, I know what you're all thinking...("hmm I assumed younger, seems like he should be smarter or at least more mature") 41 here too. In many ways I feel like an old man yelling get off my lawn already though 🤣

I vastly underestimated the "older than me" crowd here. I'm 42 and thought I was one of the older folks here. Eh? Did ya shay shomthin shonny? Shpeak up!

I was a bit surprised that the majority is in my age group so far (59). It's hard to even think I'm that old. I know so many younger people who have such "old" thinking. I'm always trying to learn more and be more of what I can be. But.. It's also nice to know I'm not the oldest... Right there with you mcirish . Welcome to "Club 59". And yes, my profile pic is from 2003, when I was the age of seawell. And yes, I was kicking people off of my lawn.

The struggle is real. A conversation at school yesterday.
Me: you like basketball? K: yes Me: you think one day you will be tall enough to be able to dunk? K: maybe Me: you think I can dunk? K : not anymore. You are too old Me: 😡
It is fair though. I never could AND I am 58.

I’m 42. I think it’s cool to see so many cats here the same age.

It's not as funny saying "get off my lawn", being younger than the #1 bracket here. But at least I feel better than my #geritolShot hashtag would be understood. Ha.

I wonder what the break down is on the "other" forum. Ha, 3 - 5, judging from their behavior. To be fair, I haven't been there for a few years, it might have changed, but, no, I'm realistic. There's more money to be made with the clueless and the wannabes. Does the sarcasm show my age?
Me, I'm 18, but my body disagrees. He feels the 66 years more than my brain and heart do.

About to be 38 next week. Always assumed this forum was older and wiser than me, which is a high bar to aspire to, to hang in some conversations.

Before I moved into teaching at public schools so I could eat consistently, I used to supplement my starving musician wages with teaching Part time at ECU in Greenville, NC as well as several surrounding community colleges. I realized that I was getting older when I would see some hot looking, young Coed and was all... “I wonder what her mom looks like”.

Same. Actual age is 36, feel 66, act 26.

45. But I still look like 25... maybe!!! (I’m sure there’s 20-somethings with graying hair out there, right?)
