Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Just how old ARE we?

The Wife keeps commenting that it was easy on Her.

Seven kids total, and She only had to deliver three

37......................but 38 in three weeks. After that I think I'm going to stop keeping track!

For my 50th birthday last month my brother in law gave me the formula for what we percieve as old: Take the square root of your current age and multiply by 10. Works for me!

Glad to see that there are a number of geezers here. I'm 52.

41....

I'm 39, but I don't feel a day over 37.

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%

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.

Welcome back to the forum Ray. We certainly have missed you.

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
