Real Age

[Beangirl]

I took the test Phil linked us to. Crap.. I am 51 and it pegged me for 61.34... I guess because I don't exercise much and I have a family history of cancer. I feel like a teenager so age is just a number. ;D

[Blastgirl]

How can a computer figure out your real age by only asking you a few questions? That's surely a sham.

[Kimm]

My real age is probably 12 if thats what its about.
I fart on purpose and laugh. I take lots of things not seriously and I would rather pet animals than go to work.

[Beangirl]

I suspect something "fishy" about the test. It is sponsored by some kind of "health group" If you score higher than your age it shows you all these vitamins ,herbs and diets you can buy to get back or lower your age.

[Phil]

Thats a good point if its about how old you act I'd be in 8th grade still.

I feel pretty good for a 37 year old.

[Kimm]

Its definitely a ploy to sell things. Like everybody said theres not even a test other than what youre asked via computer.

[Pumpkin]

I'd be afraid to take the test. I don't want to know. Dead man walking. One good thing though is that my wife says I have the sense of humor of a 9 year old. ;D

[Phil]

That's a hoax test anyway. I'm pretty young in my sense of humor too.

[Kimm]

For what its worth I dont think anybody here who has shown a picture looks older than their real age. Most everybody here has told their age.

I like this 'Immortality' prospect and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.....

I took a test a few years ago that said that I'd die on September 17, 2075 (at 6:48PM, no doubt!!).


99 years old.
Why would I want to buy anything to extend that?

I'll be sure to call the EMTs at 6:30PM.

[Jason O'Lewa]

i cant imagine being my grandparents age or anything
i know theyre not that old I just cant imagine being that age

my dad always says about when I was your age and my grandparents both sets say when your dad/mom was your age
so I can see my pareents being my age and I guess I can see my grandparents being my parents age but I cant really see me as being their age

i dont know if that makes any sense but when I was 8 my grandpa said your the same age I was when they bomed perl harber
the rest of my grandparents were not born yet

[Mahnarch]

You have young grand parents, Jason.


Off topic (nostalgia burn) - my first memory is me being 3 years old and standing in my parent's friends driveway looking at my dad's truck.

It's weird that my mind turned on at that moment.
It was a late fall afternoon. The leaves were wet and matting to the ground.
The sky was gray with clouds and the wind was light.
I was wearing my normal kid clothes under a bright yellow rain poncho.
I had on some white sneakers with black stripes.

I know I was 3 because we sold the Dodge Ram Charger before I was 4 (as I was told later in life).

I remember Reagan being sworn into office.
I remember Carter giving one of his last TV speeches (though I didn't know who he was).
I remember the first MTv videos (back when they actually played music videos).
Big hair. Punk rock. Cassette players/recorders.

I remember CDs in my teen years when you could erase the songs off them if you even lightly touched the bottom sides.

Laser disk.

Apple computers were the ONLY computers.
Green screens. Less green cursor.
DOS. ("what's a mouse?")


AH. to be a kid again.

[Blastgirl]

Apple computers yes. I also remember Reagan becoming President, I remember the music you mentioned all the 80s rock. I like country the best though.

Mahnarch, don't forget you're about twenty years older than Jason so his Grandparents are likely twenty years younger than yours. Its hard to imagine but that's how things go. I can't believe I'm thirty-three.

I also almost forgot to mention. I was not old enough to remember this but I was born on New Year's Eve in 1975 making me just about a Bicentennial Baby. There's all kinds of pictures of me in Red, White and Blue baby outfits. And my Dad with long sideburns and Clogs and my Mom in a Farah Faucet hair style. ;D Good old Bicentennial era.

[Beangirl]

I was 5 years old when President Kennedy was shot and killed.I was 16 when Nixon resigned. I was 11 when the first American man walked on the moon. I lived through Vietnam. The Manson Murders, OJ Simpson The Hill Side Stranglers and the Night Stalker. Geeze! Los Angeles is weird! Oh, I was 7 during the Watts riots and in my late 30s when all that Rodney King stuff went down. It may make me older but I feel like a real part of California History.

Phil, I think you're pretty young looking. When you started making videos we all knew your age but I would have otherwise guessed you to be a little bit younger than thirty-five or thirty-six whichever you were when you started doing videos.

[thunderbird]

Bahhhh
That's a lot of hogwash. I'm 39 years old now. That's right 40 this November. I am not a bit feeling older. I might tire a little sooner than I did before but I'm just about the same for the most as I was at 25.
