How old are you?

Nate the great · 01-02-2009, 11:23 PM

It's been well over a year since we had a poll like this. It's high time we did it again.

Please wait for the poll.

Wetdogeared · 01-02-2009, 11:56 PM

I'm going to wait till tuesday, then I'll fall into a different category.

Couldn't wait, I voted today, premature as usual.

RWood · 01-03-2009, 12:16 AM

Mental age is about 17, I have answered with the chron age. I hope that was what you wanted.

desertgrandma · 01-03-2009, 12:19 AM

I know people who are actually ashamed to admit their age.

I"ve always wondered why.

Silly rabbits.

See, this is why I look up to you - my mental age is about 13 (that, and I'm about 5'6").

Yes, I agree. 'Course, I've had to put up most of my life with people underestimating my age, and condescending to me accordingly (or asking for ID), so getting older has always seemed like a good thing to me (38).

Cheers,
Marc

I'm thinking if I make it through to the last age bracket I may have time to catch up all my TBR list. Fingers crossed - oh,no I wouldn't be able to tap the screen to go to the next page if I do that - then I'll never read to the end of that ever expanding ebook pile.

I bought 20 more books yesterday. Somebody stop me going back to Fictionwise before the sale ends.

If all my books were paper I'd have suffocated under the heap by now.

If you think that I am going to tell you my age then you are out of your cottonpickin' mind.
Oh!! Okay, I am seventy-two.

The ball is in your court.

Seventy-two! My wordy, dear, you're way too advanced in years to be using this internet thingy, yet alone some wizz-bang, new-fangled, electronic book device. Now you put that Kindle down, and we'll get you a crochet rug to keep your knees warm, I'll put on the kettle and make you a nice cuppa to keep your insides warm, get you an Anzac biccie, and you can make us all some little, framed "Home Sweet Home" tapestries for our walls. There's a sweety.

I look up to you wise oldsters in awe. I'm hoping to reach puberty in just a few more years.

Just because I'm 6'5" does not mean that I look down on you.

VR, you have to multiply by 7 to convert to human years.

Ah! The youth of today. I love the internet thingy. I have loads of relatives overseas who also love the internet thingy. Also my wizz-bang, new-fangled, electronic book device and iPhone 3G and iPaq. Although, I must admit that when they don't work as I want them to, I feel like running amok with a hatchet.....as one does.
