I've noticed a few posts recently by folks mentioning events in their past which made me curious about the age breakdown of forum members and lurkers. I made it a poll so, if you wish, you can remain anonymous. If, like me, you don't give a rat's rumba (I'd have sworn there was an "h" in that word) about your age (I'm 4 months away from the big six zero), feel free to make additional comments.
We already know that Amie is 31.  But she still has to enter that in the poll.

Do like I did, Bray. At 40 I started counting backwards. I'm only 21 now!
What I can't figure out is why a 21 year old would feel so crappy, and not be able to touch his toes.

I held steady at 23 til my Mother-in-Law passed away in 1980; then lost interest in kidding her anymore.
Another B-Day sneaks up again in a few weeks.

Having kids to keep you young is an idea that our youngest Daughter believes in also
She gave us her four kids aged four thru eleven to raise for her 
It's cool...there are a lot of kids DVDs we wouldn't have purchased without the kids; and a lot of those DVDs have excelent sound tracks

Wow, I looked at those choices, and I don't like the selection I have to make. 40-49, 49 seems old. Can't you change it to 32-41? yep, I'm 41.

You younguns shouldn't have so much cool stuff yet.
I see that Ray has not yet voted, since there are no votes in the "dirt" category.
42 in two weeks, and happy as a clam, thank you very much.

I hit the big three-o this year. I don't feel very old until I get a haircut and notice more and more grayish hair on the apron. I knew I hit the point of no return when the barber actually started shaving my ears. First it was the outside, now the inside! Ugh, where does all the hair come from? I hope it is not the hair from my head migrating elsewhere. . .

For those of you that think that you are still "young" and that the rest of us are "old..." We all were 20-something too, and it seems like just yesterady that I was thinking that I would be "old" when I hit 30....

After 31, I've found birthdays are better off forgotten. (though having said that Roger treated me to a TERRIFIC surprise b-day present last year! We saw Norah Jones at the Hollywood Bowl!)

28, but due to six in the USN i feel about 55!
hmmmmm...does anyone else find it odd that Jack started this poll, but yet there is a 0% in the "older than dirt" category...

I believe you, it's just that my father and my uncle always tell me about their old days and how they miss them. Then my uncle always tells me to not get married. I figure I will enjoy not being married, fat, or tied down.

F107, I salute you. Four kids at 61!! That is amazing. I have 3 kids under 6, and I have never felt so exhausted in my entire life. All the time. And I'm only 36. The whole "kids keep you young" is a lie!

Actually, if I count ALL my kids they go from 35, 29, 27, then the Grandkids that we're currently raising of 11, 9, 7, and 4.
So yup....we raised one family in the 70s and 80s and we're raising a second one now
And speaking of age;....just hope to still be around to see the second batch grown

I'm running the same poll over at av123, and the results are remarkably similar.
Keep in mind that these are just one day's numbers. We'll revisit them after a few weeks, or whenever the poll stagnates, to see if things have changed or not.
Axiom
Un 20 = 2.5%
20-29 = 14%
30-39 = 40%
40-49 = 27%
50-59 = 13%
60-69 = 2.5%
70-79 = 01%
******************************
av123
Un 20 = 1%
20-29 = 18%
30-39 = 41%
40-49 = 25%
50-59 = 15%
60-69 = 00%
70-79 = 00%
******************************
Axiom 20-39 = 54%
av123 20-39 = 59%
Axiom 30-50 = 67%
av123 30-50 = 66%
Axiom 40-60 = 40%
av123 40-60 = 41%
******************************
Axiom over 50 = 16.5%
av123 over 50 = 15%
Axiom under 50 = 83.5%
av123 under 50 = 85%
******************************
Axiom under 30 = 16.5%
av123 under 30 = 19%
Axiom over 30 = 83.5%
av123 over 30 = 81%
Notice that for both forums 2/3 of the responders are between 30 and 49 (Axiom 66%; av123 67%).
But, The remaining 1/3 is split evenly on the Axiom forum, with 16.5% of the responders below 30 and 16.5% of them above 50. A perfect bell curve.
On the av123 forum the results are skewed more toward the younger demographic with 19% below 30 and only 15% over 50.

Hey Gang - been awhile. (Frank, I'll type louder so you can hear me )
Moved into the new home on June 4th (it was built 10 years ago). Beautiful place. Solid, well built. Lotsa nice touches. Unfortunately, the guy I bought it from either didn't grasp the concept or never heard the word - HANDYMAN. What a never-ending nightmare of annoying little things to repair/upgrade/fix/marvel over. Nothing major, just a stream of reversing idiocy and getting things taken care of.
Timing of the move (could NOT pass the house up) was bad as my daughter's wedding is on 8/20 and that has layered into the mix of eliminating any available leisure time. On the plus side though, I DO get to pay for the wedding!
The combination has contributed to a stunning bit of irony - I now live on a golf course (the 5th tee is 35 paces from my back door) and I'm playing LESS golf.
Anyhow, what were we talking about? Oh yeah - age.
I'm 58, but my hair was only 47 when it disappeared. My impressive collection of ear hair is only a few years old and drool seems to appear with alarming regularity, but doesn't age very long as my wife is a now exper "deft drool wiper".
Interestingly, Jack has ties older than I am. Also, while he is approaching 60 (God love ya!), several of his teeth never made it past 50.
Although I can't bench press my weight these days (but then, I never could), I do stay in shape by dragging my 40 pound Viagra lick around the house on a dolly. You never know when that "special moment" will arrive.
Gotta go - afternoon nap time.
Ray

Yes...Welcome back But next time; type even louder
I read your account of growing old; and was feeling just a little poorly realizing just what I had to look foreward to!
I read it a second time to be sure I understood
It was then that I picked up on the fact that you are younger than I

Oh, alright! The clue to my age lies in a Beatles' song. That's all I'm going to say. . .

Will you love me when I'm ??, I'm guessing is a lyric paraphrase from the song in question. . Alan, I'm sorry if I gave it away, but I couldn't help myself.

Well Frank; I dunno about a prize, but it appears you're in for Gold, Alan has Silver and I think Jack beat me out for Bronze
No; wasen't Jack, I see he's a youngster of only 59.
Someone who logged in but dosen't want his wife to know his true age is also in his 60s......hummmmmm.
Course, could be a "Her"!! They's bein' touchier than us in that account

Speaking of age of some of our stereo equipment....as I had commented sometime in the past: My sub box is part of an old HTIB;..... TWO boxes, actually, that I remember as being the very first sounds I'd ever heard from a movie!
OK...16mm HTIB An Actual home theater!!
So when I listen to movies today, I'm listening to a driver installed in the very same cabinet that I've been listening to since right after the War.

The usual solution is to set up a "classic" system in the opposite end of your home, somewhere you can listen to LPs and... wait, you're not old enough for LPs.
Geez, I have albums older than most of you guys and I'm only at the midrange of the age distribution

My oldest "album" is a true "Album"
A collection of 78s in their own folders in a book form like a photo album, with a "contents" page in front to be filled in by the collector.
It's cool

i've got a few "albums" but they're all of the Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby type, you know the "turn the page when Tinker Bell chimes like this." and i had a suh-weet Fisher-Price turntable to spin 'em on too!

That's a good idea. I also have a Classic Pioneer SX-1250 and an AR-XA turntable. I doubt I would use it much but I could find a corner to put it in for nostalgia sake.

I have a collection of vinyl albums from the 70s. I think most of them are warped, though. I don't know why I'm keeping them. I don't think I've ever seen a 78 with a warpage problem. A guy I work with has a garage full of 78s he's been collecting, along with other antique and not so antique stuff. His goal is to open an antique shop.

Grasshopper, I am 45, and have 4 full theater areas and one gaming area. My 14 year old's gaming area has $2K worth of gear. You don't EVEN want a list of the gear in the four theaters.

Thanks guys. I wasn't really trolling for birthday congrats; it's just that my wife gave me my gift this morning - a new, super absorbent drool rag that matches the design of my Depends and I was pretty excited.  At least until I forget. Errr...., what were we talking about?

Hi Ray. He moved to Dallas after a reorg at Kodak to take a CEO job so I don't get there as much, though he kept his home in Rochestor. I'll PM you if I do or look me up if you are up this way. It would be great to see you again. Anyway, why do I have such a tough time imagining you as 60?

Happy Birthday, Ray! Congrats on reaching the big milestone (is that even appropriate - it sounds very morbid to say that). May all your fairway misses be in the first cut!

Good question, because I sure don't  
Before any of you think me an insensitive clod, I sent Ray a special birthday PM. So there's no need for me to be polite, or wish him a special  . Besides, I'm older than he is.

Happy birthday, Ray. Hopefully, that drool rag is mobile, so you can wheel it out to the 18th.

Happy birthday, Ray!
I am 38, and like Randy a couple of years ago, just faced my 20th high school reunion. Medical school 10 year reunion is this year.
I'm happy to not be an outlier on the curve for once. Take that for what you will.

Thanks so very much for the kind birthday wishes. I feel kinda bad - this is a major thread hijack that I didn't intend to do. On the other hand, at my age I'll forget about it in 10 minutes! I'm anxious to get home and start reading the other gift my wife got for me. It's a book titled "How To Line Up Your Fourth Putt".

Warmest wishes, my friend.

Craig, Tom, Shawn - thanks so much.
Mike - that picture is frightening. I look more like Tark than I don't look like him. Where is my Oil of Olay? Ah, right here beside my caffinated Geritol and my Metmucil.

Ray, Happy Birthday! Don't worry, you won't get any old jokes from me. You're way past that now--try "ancient".

Happy Birthday, Ray!(I was watching in case it was slipping through the cracks, and would have announced such a momentous event, if necessary).

Ray, there is something I've been wondering.
What was it like the day they invented dirt?

To be honest with you, I already know where dirt/dust comes from.

Just found this old thread. Wow! Wonder what’s happened with a lot of these members. Back then (2005/2007) this group sounded like a great bunch of people! Way before my time. Almost forgot to include, I’m 67.

RIP Jack. We've lost a lot of good members over the years to other priorities. I was Facebook friends with some until I left Facebook recently. Those were good times back then. My first order was for M80s in 2006.

The 40s were winning for a while, but it looks like the 30s are starting to wake up and vote
46 myself. Hmm, my last response seems to have become obsolete through no fault of my own
