Try again, junior.

[Skittles]

50. 53 and 5/6

yes INDEED

[yankeepants]

51. Hey Icy Peas, Kayak j, and Skittles

Can I join the 1957 club? 54 in October and still kickin' some ass. (It's the rum what makes me write this stuff.)

[IcyPeas]

56. '57 ruled (obviously)

[Skittles]

57. CORRECT!!!

:D

[trof]

69. I WILL KICK YOUR ASS!

But only in the most friendly way.

[Skittles]

70. LOL - 69.5 don't really count as old anymore

oh wait - you are at least 15 years older than me (barely) so you are indeed old :rofl:

HEY how'd you get all those hearts; I WILL KICK YOUR VALENTINED-ASS!!! :D

[TuxedoKat]

74. Happy Birthday almost, 53 7/12

That was the year alright, 57.

[NV Whino]

3. Get off my lawn!

I'm older.

[era veteran]

4. In dog years? .. 399 , I win.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. I'm 64 and I know I've seen other DUers who say they are in the 70's or older.

[woo me with science]

7. Do people still need you? Do people still feed you?

Sorry, couldn't resist. :hi:

[Arkansas Granny]

11. The family played that for me on my birthday. They couldn't resist either.

And, to be honest, I still feed them! Whenever we get together, the kids will request that I make some of their favorite dishes. My niece's husband is even rethinking the whole polygamy argument. He wants to take me as a "sister/wife" so I can cook for him.

[woo me with science]

12. LOL! Now THAT's a testament to your cooking!

And to how much they love you...

I love family stories like that.

Happy belated birthday! :hi:

[woo me with science]

6. I'm not the oldest.

:)

[TZ]

8. You know that guy Trof? Hangs in the lounge..

Trof: The Retired Old Fart....:rofl: He'll gladly tell you so as well.I don't know if he's the oldest, but he's definitely got lots of life experience....

[JitterbugPerfume]

21. I think trof and I are the same age

[trof]

30. JIT! BABY!!!

Smooches!!!
:hug:

[JitterbugPerfume]

35. Hi sweetie

[trof]

29. That guy is...ME! I'll be 70 in August. I remember...

FDR's death.
VE Day.
VJ Day.
(Look them up, whippersnapper.)
The Korean 'War'.
(No, it was 'only' a 'police action'.)

Compared to many here, I feel like a walking (so far) history book.
;-)

[JitterbugPerfume]

34. I still win

I was 70 in November:-) :loveya: :loveya:

[shugah]

[trof]

[tigereye]

72. hey, you rookies rein it in!

:rofl: no, that's cute. I had no idea what TROF stood for. Cool.

[Joe Fields]

23. Depends on experience. I'm 54, but my experience tells me I'm at least 80.

[Old Troop]

27. 57 last Monday.

[elifino]

28. Born in 1938, I am 72 and still employed.

[trof]

32. So far, you win!

Congrats.
What do you do?
I quit working in 1999.
Love every minute of it.
:-)

[elifino]

33. Tech support computers presently

I have worked for the same company for 51 years. I enjoy what I do, and since my wife passed away, I need something to keep busy. I only work part time now, 20 to 30 hours a week.

[trof]

58. More power to ya.

I was an airline pilot.
If I could do that job from home or in town, I'd still be doing it.
The commute from AL to NY finally got to me.
Sorry you lost your partner.
I've been married for 42 years.
Selfishly, I hope I go first.

[dixiegrrrrl]

61. Pssst..trof....ya ever notice

that people down here live a long long time? 80 is a pretty common age around here for retirement.

( but I have a ways to go)

[trof]

68. Must be the water?

OK, maybe the booze.
:-)

[JitterbugPerfume]

36. I bow to you superior oldness

:fistbump: and I am in awe of the fact that you still work!

[madmax]

39. Careful how you bend honey,

you may not be able to straighten up. :rofl: Sorry, I couldn't help myself. ;)

[JitterbugPerfume]

41. my bender is mostly broken

[madmax]

38. You're the GOP poster child for raising retirement age.

I'm 61. If you're happy working and have a job, good for you :hug:

[frogmarch]

37. 67

John Kerry and I were born on the same day. Wait. I was born in India and he in Colorado, so maybe we weren't. :shrug:

[JitterbugPerfume]

40. that made my brain hurt

[frogmarch]

46. Mine too. :-)

[Lucian]

42. 28.

I feel old. I'm already a curmudgeon.

[struggle4progress]

43. I'm really really old but I act immature, so it doesn't count

[Petrushka]

44. 75 +

:hi:

[JitterbugPerfume]

45. cool

:thumbsup: :hi:

[Pat Riot]

77. sort of off topic, but

I had to reply to you because your handle is one of my favorite all-time books. Not completely off-topic, as the novel is about immortality.

Do you still look 30, and is it because of spending a lot of time in hot tubs, vigorous dancing, and eating a lot of beets?

I myself am a genius waitress. Only 52.

[JitterbugPerfume]

82. In my mind, I still look 30

dancing is my favorite form of exercise (why should it not be fun ?) and I love beets. Being a genius waitress skipped a generation in my family,

That would be my youngest daughter.

[nolabear]

47. 56. But who's counting?

Me. I'm counting.

[tandot]

48. I am almost 47 and had my first child in 2009.

He'll be 2 years in May :)

I feel like I am 35 years old :hi:

[JitterbugPerfume]

49. that is a cute kid you got there

[The Wielding Truth]

63. Wow. You and your child are blessed to have each other.

[cherokeeprogressive]

52. 42 is the meaning of life, according to Deep Thought. n/t

[Zoigal]

53. Will be 82 this Sunday (Feb 13). Still quite able and active......z

[AngryAmish]

54. You are medalist so far

Or should I say leader in the clubhouse.

[woo me with science]

60. You win so far!

Nice to meet you! :applause:

[shanti]

62. congratulations!

:hi:

[tekisui]

64. Cheers to you!

[bikebloke]

55. I used to steal Methusela's lunch money.

[hayu_lol]

65. Still a handful of people around from the prewar years...

1935/75+.

[tigereye]

73. wow! Great to see that DU has so many folks of experience

:thumbsup:

Early 50s here.

[Pat Riot]

78. LOVE jokes like that

A dearly departed man I used to wait on used to say he was the bus boy at the last supper. Also, "Baby, I don't even buy green bananas."

Might as well take this opportunity to say, I may be 52, but I feel like a couple of 26 year olds.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

66. Im 40 and suddenly I realized

I'm the "old man" at work, granted I work in a young person's game....but still....LOL

[woofless]

67. My body is 58

but my head is stuck in the '60s engulfed in smoke and music.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

71. 58

[provis99]

75. 42? I'm 41, and you're making me feel old.

I never though of Generation Xers as old...

[AzDar]

76. My back feels 90 today. Does that count?

:)

[pink-o]

80. Forty-two?? You're a fetus!

But then, when I was 42, I figured I was well on my way to fossilhood. Now, at 56, I feel amazing physically, even if my mind is on a slide to rival the Dow in '08. I did it all backwards: I was a fat, sarcastic intellectual in my 20s and 30s, hit a harmonic convergence in my 40s when I lost almost 50 lbs, now I'm a skinny jockette with no brain to speak of.

I thought you were supposed to get wider and wiser as you aged!

[emilyg]

81. Checking in at 73.
