Has anyone else ever noticed that people under the age of 21 will say that "I'm almost 18" rather than plain old truthful "I'm 17?"
Look around and just try to find anyone over the age of 40 that says "I'm almost 52." We hold on to that number as long as we can!
I got a phone call from my mother on my 35th birthday. She called me again the next day with a really nasty comment. She said "How does it feel today to know that you are now closer to your 50th birthday than your 20th?"

Well, it's because everybody wants to be as close to as 21 years old as possible, whether they're younger or older than that. Posts: 4229 | Registered: Dec 2002

When my mother turned 25, her mother said "How does it feel to be a quarter of a century old?" My mother replied "How does it feel to be the mother of someone a quarter of a century old?" My grandmother shut up really quick. Posts: 16551 | Registered: Feb 2003

Proteus, I'm hoping that you just had a bad week--please don't tell me you always feel 70!
If it makes you feel any better, I'm 29, and I actually feel younger than I did when I was 19. I think its because I've learned to relax--it wasn't something I was taught to do as a child, so I had to learn the fine art of enjoying life after I became an adult.

Silly people, celia was BORN in '60... So that would make her around 44 or so. A shame I was a year or two too late in joining Hatrack, or else I would have sent her a bouquet of black balloons.

The 60 is actually 1860, so i'm approaching 144 this year.
It's a good thing Architraz is so cute. He gets to keep his life and his manhood inspite of rubbing his youth in my face.

If you don't mind me asking Celia, what is the significance of 1860 (besides being the year you were born?)

I celebrate one, the rest of the world celebrates the other. I prefer the one where I get cake and don't much care what parties you're thowing when I'm gone. Posts: 3956 | Registered: Jun 2001

Will be 56 next month. Is it me or is the crowd pretty young ? Hey, the main thing is we all have something in comom - that transends time & age - it's called OSC. What a great writer. Case closed.
Have fun & heal yourselves !

Hey, thanks Farmgirl. Maybe I shouldn't have been so gullible to put my age on. Anyway, we all understand that what one says on here could be totally diferent from what they say.
But, I maintain - it's all about OSC . (period)
Just have fun.......

Now that camp has started for the summer (okay, it started three weeks ago) I am 154. I was born on June 15, 1850. And thanks to the new director, we can't use our real names anymore. My new name is Bean. Except to all of my campers from previous summers, who insist on calling me my real name.
