How Old Are You?

[ferider]

87 this year

Right. And your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

That's a cool story, Steven !

Sometimes I'm happy that I just squeezed by and made Gen X - nope, we are not boomers

I feel like the same but on the opposite end
As a dec 77 baby I missed millennialism by a very short margin

Gonna be 85 in a month & 3days, had a knife since I was 7.

Sometimes 1965 seems like it should be yesterday, sometimes like a century ago. The last ten years are the ones that have really gone by so quickly.

 

[Prester John]

65. I'm younger than that now....

 

[Ironbut]

I'm 77. I'm not at the end of the road yet, but when I get there, I can look back, smile, and say, "That was a hell of a ride!"

 

[DaleS]

70 &1/2 as us kids like to say, been into pocketknives since then too.

I remember when my best friend and I were at Wendy’s and I said “Can you believe it? We’re going to be 40 this year!”
And that was 32 years ago ! And that Wendy’s is still there

End of this month I will be 72.

And I am starting to feel it too

I'll be 76 in June. Boy, does it fly by!
Retired at 61 and haven't regretted it for a minute.
A wonderful wife, 2 daughters, 2 sons, 2 grandsons, 3 granddaughters, and one great-grandson.
I got my first pocket knife at 7 years old, and there have been very few days when I haven't had one with me.
I've been a member here for 22 years. Holy moly!

 

[K-Lastima]

69 for me. I am an aries so not too far away from the next level.

69

 

[PeteyTwoPointOne]

Old enough to eat cornbread without choking

 

[Prester John]

It's a shame there ain't hardly no one under 30 here.
A few years ago, a co-worker aged 25-30 was shocked when I told her my teenaged daughter and I couldn't enter a hockey rink till we emptied our pockets of our knives (took them back to the car). She said: "I can't believe you let your daughter carry a weapon!"
Lotta anti-knife indoctrination going on, I reckon.

65 in February.

 

[RPZIP]

I'm in the 60 to 69. Interesting how that is apparently the largest group on here.

".... I can't believe you would have your daughter defenseless.."

 

[Wild Ben]

64. March 1st I will be retired for 2 years; hard to believe! Dad gave me my first pocketknife when I was 6 and I’ve been hoarding them ever since.

 

[Wild Ben]

Weird, I just realized that, in this group, I’m normal! Ha, ha, ha! My wife thinks it’s funny, too.
