Hehehe... Let's do age! How 'Old' are you? A poll - Version 2

Okay folks,
We've done company sizes, who's happy, etc..Lets see the average age of Cove participants. It allows anonymity for those who feel that someone really takes into account a person's age before listening to suggestions or advice. I will vote first at the tender age of 58, soon to change in April 23 (same as William Shakespear). But, he's got a few years on me. This should prove very interesting. Marc, you don't have to vote. We already know that you pre-date water.

Hehehe...

At what point are action (s) taken and advice given due to age & expierience viewed by yonger folks as deciet & trechery ??
(Chicken & egg question?)

What I do know for sure is that after my oldest son turned 21 - he admitted that for some reason "old dad" got a lot smarter than when he was 16.

No secret - I'm 54 this year too young to fully retire & too old to be taken too seriousley..

Thumbs up

I'm 31 but have aged considerally since Energy posted my picture!

Heck, I have a 16 year old that has a learning permit to drive. I was with him when he made a right turn in front of traffic. I grabbed the wheel and got back in the correct lane while he was sitting at the wheel with his mouth open.

He said; " How the hell did you do that dad?"

Experience son!!!!

(I was at the doctor the next day with a torn muscle in my armpit)

It's 44 this June and I share a birthday with Moe Howard.

Energy sweetheart, such an irrelevant question where women are concerned!

But I will admit that I celebrated an anniversary of my 29th birthday last year!

I crack a smile every time I hear this because...

Feeling pretty darn good on my 40th, my adorable Grandma who turned 85 2 days later says to me "Well, they say life begins at 40 Laura, but don't believe it. It doesn't get better." "Yikes - thanks Gram, you're telling me its all down hill-nothing to look forward too?" "Yep" She cracked me up - here she is as healthy as a horse at 85 telling me its all down hill.

Atul - So far, I go along with the saying. Age is a number. The only thing I notice is the eyesight - and I have little desire to pitch anymore, at my favorite sport, softball. I still play, but reacting to a line drive up the pitchers mound is just a little too nerve wracking.
