What's the average age around here?

Chronological age: 47

Apparent age: 37

Internal age: 6!

My wife is 15 years younger than me. As someone else said earlier, that helps a lot! :p

I've served in H.M. Security Forces for 28 years and have a lot of T-shirts. Having that seniority means occasionally having a few extra quid to buy knives. It's the only bonus. :grumpy:

No lecture, just a reminder you're not alone. Now I know why my dad used to snort and roll his eyes, when I'd complain how endless it seemed, I'm sure it won't seem that long, untill I have to stop and wonder, where the time went, and why my life flew by so quickly. No life is free of hardship, I've seen farr less than many that went before me, and will probably see less than most who will follow me. I think I've lived in interesting times. I don't know how any afterlife would work, or if one get's to keep up with events here, but It sure would be interesting to read a what the history books say about the years in wich we lived, a hundred years or more from now!
 
I turn 48 this summer. Some days it does feel old, other days not so. I still have fun, playing paintball with teenagers. It keeps Ya young. That and mountainbiking. I am too busy to be old right now I guess.:D :cool: :p
 
You know you're old when you show a picture of Jethro Tull to someone and they ask, 'Which one's Jethro?'

(nobody better ask who Jethro Tull is, either):D
 
Most days I average about 35. Sometimes I act like I'm 15, other days I feel like I'm 60.
 
I'm 36. My first decent knife was a Gerber FSII I bought from a super cool cutlery shop at Cinderella City mall in Englewood, Colorado, in 1982. Followed that knife with a Bolt Action and a Mark II shortly thereafter, I still have all three.

My interest in knives has ebbed and flowed, like most hobbies, but it's never stopped. This forum put it into overdrive, like I suspect it has for many others.

Prior to discovering Gerbers, my folding knives were mostly inexpensive slipjoints. My first fixed blade was a Kabar I bought in 1978.
 
I turn 40 in June and I feel it! When you have kids I think the aging process gets accellerated at a frightening pace :eek:
