Like I ask the girls... How old do you WANT me to be?
Alas they usually answer with a slap, so then I hobble off muttering "I should have said 37!"
:p
-
RichardMEL, can you be 25? >:D
KR, those younger guys probably have lots more experience than I do!
-
37. When, exactly, did that happen, anyhow? I don't seem to rmember getting that old. . .

I just turned 39 :-\ But could easily pass for 30 ;)

Genetics my friend. :2thumbsup; Both my parents look pretty young for their age too. Oh and sunscreen. :)

I can feel like 25 when I'm with the right people (not necessarily 25 year olds). Sometimes when my arthritis flares up I am fully 53.
-
I'm 47 and hubby is 49!!! You are only as old as you make yourself is my motto. I like to act young!!!

Sure thing Deanne!! What's that saying about you're only as old as the person you feel or something?
How about a hug?
:cuddle;

58˝. Have grown older, but never managed to grow up.
My dad only admitted to GETTING old when he was 88. My 80 year old oldest sister just came back from a trip to Switzerland. She has been on every continent except Antarctica, and says that we mustn't put even that past her!!!
Age is a state of mind.
-
I'm officially the baby of this thread! :)
-
Hi Jess
21...I was that same age when my kidneys failed on me. :o That seems like a million years ago.
-
I thought I would post this in this thread. We have an organization like AARP, it is called BARP and they featured my olderst sister (whom I told you guys about) in their new look magazine. I cut and pasted the cover from the website, since I am sure how long the link will last, but you can try it - http://www.barpbb.com/index_2.html.
She sent me a copy of the magazine and i have been showing off to everyone who would give me a minute. My Big Sister!
Under the caption they say - ‘Cover Girl’ for the 76 page Summer 2008 launch issue is people’s favourite, Maizie Barker-Welch, who unveiled the magazine at the recent launch.
By the way, she isn't even at home this weekend. Off to Trinidad to a women's conference, dragging along another sister who is much more housebound (and six years younger!)
The article about my sister took 4 pages. I took a picture of the pages. You wouldn't be able to read it, but you can see the pictures.
This is the last paragraph of the article -
So what is it that drives this extraordinary woman? There is a short pause, her eyes light up, then comes the response. "Life," she says. "I find life exciting!"
I find getting up on mornings and going among my trees and greenery, there is nothing like it.
I marvel at the magnificence of this world and the fact that I am a part of it. That excites me."
She is so much like my father was!
-
I love the strong women in your family. Your sisters, you and Sam all are incredible. Thanks for sharing the article.

60 on 11/6/2008

Nice to see someone else hitting the big 6-0
-
26.......
-
Finally, someone close to my age.
I wish this website was around when I was 12 and all this started for me.
-
36 so far unless someone else tells me otherwise. At least that's what a piece of paper says I am.
-
Flip and G-ma, I am joining the club VERY soon.

Yeah but Angela your parents probably wouldn't have let you on that darn internet thing... you know all those crazy loonies out there you need to be protected from....
.... and nothing much has changed now!!! :)
-
They let me on when internet was invented, lol... but then regreted it. muahahaha
-
You would hate to have Al Gore keep bugging you on the internet though :rofl; :rofl; The so called creator of the internet (well in his mind). Sad to say, I was on the internet way back then at my dads work. A lot different then, but was for diferent use, but noooo spam though! :rofl;
-
By continent, 38% of the world's Internet users are based in Asia, 27% in Europe, 18% in North America, 10% in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 7% in Australia. <-- I would of never guessed that one.
OkOk, Sorry to get off topic. :oops;
-
Actually an interesting post, Angela. I wonder how those figures compare with overall population? I didn't think the internet was that available in most of Asia (Japan excluded).
-
I turn 18 in September. :sir ken;

REALLY OFF TOPIC....You'd be SURPRISED how technically advanced Asia is..... We were there for a month in 2006.... And the internet was easier to access...even in the middle of no where .... And on top of that, EVERYONE had awesome cell phones that were able to call into the states for TONS less than those that we have here!!! And that was the back fields of THAILAND!!!

I was made aware of this last semester by one of the classmates who use to live all around Asia and the islands. Their medical information textbooks can be accessed over the internet at no cost like it is here. A lot of their medical references, books, studies, and so forth can easily be accessed without fees.I wish it was like that here instead of having to spend over $400 for a medical book I want on 1 subject and possibly only having one picture.
Back to the topic: I'm an old fart stuck in a young body. Now get off my lawn you young whipper snapper!

But your lawn is beautiful!
Pick up your trash and go!

Angela I've been on the internet since the mid 80's so long before you were 12 (I think!)... gosh it's been a long time and a whacky ride!
7% of users in oz doesn't surprise me. Australia has always been a society of "early adapters" to technology. Often it has been needs based, with us being in the middle of nowhere and all and needing to communicate across a vast continent... plus I think lots of people are just gadget freaks. The numbers of people running around with iphone 3G's and all the latest stuff is amazing.
Speaking of which.. asia is far ahead of many countries. I think Soul, for example, has high speed fibre to most HOMES and places like Singapore it's just taken for granted access anywhere and everywhere. Makes a lot of other places (including oz) seem like technological backwaters.

Yes, I was born in '78. :) When I said I started using the internet when it first came out, I meant came out for the "home users". It wasn't available for just anyone in the '80's.. mostly just business's.

7% is not alot.. so you guys are slacking. :P Actually a phone way more awesome then the iPhone called the "Anycall Haptic" is out only in Korea right now.. and I am saving my money for when it's released in the US. WooHoo. I love technology... and CANNOT live without it. I always tell my mom there is NO way I could live way back when, even if I didn't "know about technology".. there just isn't a way at all... :lol;

Currently 47 years young, according to my birth certificate . . .
but LOVE feeling younger than my age: LOVE going to concerts, listening to alternative rock, posting on MySpace, and since I'm petite, I can buy inexpensive clothes at the shops my teens shop in - can't "pull off" all the looks, but the "short" jeans fit great! Petite "grown up" clothes are sooo expensive . . . rather spend my $ on SJ Sharks hockey tix! :bandance;

Actually it was mostly limted to the US DoD (who developed it in the first place) and the academic sector - universities and the like - along with hobbyists who connected in. In the mid 80's, during the time of FidoNet and other various small networks of BBS's and whatnot that hooked up via modem and exchanged messages, it was like the poor man's internet, while the real networking was happening between universities (and yes, the DoD who had their own setups going). When I started university in 1989 connection speeds were just starting to ramp up, specially when far flung places like Australia could get more decent connection options to the rest of the world (I think the first undersea fibre cable was laid in the early 90's) and that really allowed things to start happening. Of course around 1993 when Mosac (first real web browser) came out then things quickly started to take off... along with cheaper and higher speed access for home and business users... and the rest is history.
As for that 7% figure - doesn't it mean 7% of the world internet population is in Oz? Way more than 7% of the Australian population have and use the internet - that is for certain. For a country of 21 million (which is peanuts) we have a LARGE user population.

My first modem was a 1200 baud which was really slow. The only services available were AOL, Prodigy, and Compuserve. Downloads took hours and processor speeds were 10 mhz or less.
-
1200?? Luxury... we started with 110 and 300 baud.
Actually I remember around 1992 or 1993 I was working for one of the local universities and a professor of Computer Science (!) got uppity because they wanted to upgrade everything and take away his 300 baud modem!! When quizzed about it he said he liked the slow speed because the screen come up slowly enough he could keep up with it!!!! hahahaha! Too funny.
For those wondering.... 1200 baud is roughly equivalent to 1200 kbytes/sec. Since those days (dial-up) modem speeds progressed up to around 56,000 (56k) and of course DSL broadband speeds have upped this to 24mbit/sec, or around 200 times that figure... so you're looking at speeds available to today's consumers around 10,000 times (give or take) faster than flip's 1200 baud modem.
And then there's cable, and fibre to the home .... which is even faster.

Hey Richard....spoken like a true geek!!!! No such thing as computer nerds in my day. Back then there were no such words as google or dotcom either. So agewise, I would be pretty close to the better side of 50.
-
I officially turned 30 in June.
Gawd I feel old.
-
Lol I felt old at 30 and now I'm 56.
-
Well how could I let anyone down by NOT talking like the geek that I am???!! :p
And you're only as old as you feel... or if you like the more fun version - you're only as old as the person you're feeling :)
:shy;
-
so true, so true, and there are days i feel like 110!
-
And you're only as old as you feel...
uh oh does that mean I'm about 90? That's how old I sometimes feel... :-\
-
I'm old but feel much older.
-
I tell the kids at school:
I am as old as dirt, but younger than mud!
-
uh oh does that mean I'm about 90? That's how old I sometimes feel... :-\
I use to say I was 90 when people asked me how old I am. At the time, that's how I felt. Some days now, I feel like I'm 70 depending on what's bothering me.
-
And you're only as old as you feel...
uh oh does that mean I'm about 90? That's how old I sometimes feel... :-\
awww Jess I'll give you a hug if you like.. then you can feel about 50 years younger!!!! :)
Well it's a start!!!
:cuddle;

I'm old enough, can I stop the ride now :rofl;

NO Chris, you are not old enough------- keep riding
I used to teach with a teacher who told her students she was alive during the Civil War :waving;

The perfect age is somewhere between "old enough to know better and too young to care."
Here are some memories for us old folks http://www.kit-cat.com/DoYouRemember.htm
-
I'm going to be 60 on 11/6 and very proud of it..........especially since strangers always think I'm the wife of one of my two sons. BTW I LOVE Birthdays and all that goes with it contrary to what many people feel.
-
Biologically I'm 22
When I bicker with my sister my mom says I act like a 4 year old...
With some of my meds I have ADD like a hyperactive 8 year old.... Oh look! A butterfly!
At times I physically feel about 80.
And I like to act about 12!
-
But that butterfly has beautiful purple wings.............
-
I'm 37, but I knew that something was really wrong with my transplant when a pensioner whizzed past me while I was trying to walk up a hill! I sat down on the nearest wall and burst into tears!
Dialysis sometimes makes me feel my proper age and sometimes makes me feel 100!!
;D
