Not to offend you youngsters out there, because I'm 29 myself, but what's wrong with feeling like 60? I know, when I'm 60, I'll take that back, but really, most people at my place of work are so immature, I'd like to think I'm as mature as I feel.
So what, I've always been a cynical old bastard, probably since my early teens. Doesn't keep me from doing anything I like so I don't think change is in the near future.

Oh, and one last piece of tinder into the fire: Aren't we supposed to revere the old? Shouldn't we aim to be older, more experienced, wiser? If anything I would lie up on my age. And before you ask, yes , I admit, I'm happily married, so I don't pretend to appear younger than I am. No point in keeping my age from my wife. Or anything else, for that matter

Oh, and I almost forgot to say it (must be my age):
Get off my lawn!

Your internet age is: 11

In internet terms, you're just starting out. There's a whole world out there to explore.

Well, I think I'm older than that...just because I don't internet date, or watch sports or create youtube videos.

I know HOW to do those things, just not interested in them.

Naw, the World Wide Web is sixteen, I was on the internet in the middle eighty's, and the ARPANet and MILNet before that. We didn't have browsers, but we had things like gopher and usenet and FTP.

Thanks for your comments gmvasco. Seems like one could use the attribute you mentioned as a barometer of a culture's health: how do the people in that culture regard and treat their elders? Maybe resesearch been already been done on the question?

Although on second thoughts, maybe it does...

Sorry, I really meant tattooed (but for clarity's sake I should mentioned I don't get inked every week, in fact I only have one tattoo!)

Oooh, tattooed...THAT inked. Okay, gotcha.

What's yours? Or am I being too personal?

Verencat · 07-13-2009, 11:18 AM

Nah, don't worry, when I got it I amost screamed it everywhere. It's a (too) small blossoming cherry tree branch on the shoulder-neck.

Nice! Post pix!!

I wasn't even gonna ask "where"!

sakura-panda · 07-13-2009, 11:41 AM

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to mark what I thought the average MR age range is or if I was supposed to mark for my own. (I picked my own.

)

Thank goodness for the ranges -- I only know that I'm 30+ something or other without taking the time to do the math.
