67. That too. LOL

Someone I know who just turned the ripe old age of 30, asked me for a piece of life advice. (I had to laugh at first) I said, stop caring about the things you deem so important now, because later on, they will reveal themselves as being very trivial.

[Kalidurga]

[ryan_cats]

19. You're a hipster? n/t

[lamp_shade]

21. More like a flower child.

I just turned 69. I have a dayglo orange sweatshirt with matching socks that I've had since 1964. I still occasionally wear them at Halloween time.

[leftofcool]

27. Do you still have your gold electro-plated peace sign on a leather chain?

I do.

[lamp_shade]

29. . [laughing] Nope. I was a semi-flower child.... a sort of wall-flower child.

[leftofcool]

31. Wall-flower-child here too!

[ryan_cats]

18. We

...We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say.

Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

[Codeine]

23. That bit never fails to crack me up. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

33. Same Here!

I can hear the voice while i'm reading the post!

[Tracer]

36. 75

But I've been told that I look 55.

I read DU every day, but hardly ever post. By the time I collect my thoughts on a post -- the thread has usually been hijacked by arguments or drifted off to a completely different subject.

Doesn't matter though -- I get more news from DU than from any other source.

[NRaleighLiberal]

37. 60 in just a few short months!

[Glorfindel]

38. Turned 70 in August.

Just a few months too old to be a Baby Boomer.

[s-cubed]

46. Me too.

[Snobblevitch]

61. August of '45?

I'd say you were the first Baby Boomer. My uncle was injured in the war and was discharged in October of '44. My second oldest cousin was born in August of '45. (I was born nearly 20 years later. My dad was 12 years younger than his oldest brother.)

[Glorfindel]

101. Yep, August of 1945

My siblings were 14, 13, and 10 when I was born. I used to tease my parents that I was the result of celebrations of the Allies' victory in the Battle of the Bulge.

82. Quite a bit more than 1 billion,...

...but not quite 2 billion seconds old. I look forward to that anniversary next year.

The seconds go rolling by me, they are rocking easily
I am older than I once was, younger than I'll be
That's not unusual, no it isn't strange
After changes upon changes we are more or less the same
After changes we are more or less the same

[ChisolmTrailDem]

100. Main brain always short-circuits when I see/hear comments like this one. You are part of a long

line of cell-splitting biological masses that have never had "matter" being added to them from the remnants of long dead stars and planets and setch. No matter has every come at me from outer space and tried to add to my mass. Well, there may be ash from volcanoes and dust particles from meteorites that collect on me if I sit on DU for too long.

Anyways, once upon a time some molecules had a caucus and decided to spew forth copies of themselves and it continued, over and over, until you have half our country occupied by masses of cell-splitted flesh and bones with brains operated by a couple of synapses that love beer, whiskey, guns and racing too much and brown people and liberals not enough.

I'm just not seeing stardust being made in any way responsible for what has happened here.

[Scootaloo]

102. Dust? No, friend. ELECTRONS.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

109. So, it's them electrons what's doin' it? Am I collecting electrons from stars and nebulaes?

Is that how I grow from a egg and a sperm to the Democrat I am today?

Do electrons get old?

[GummyBearz]

87. I don't age

[Deadshot]

134. Early 30s.

[smirkymonkey]

135. 51, but most people think I am 10 to 15 years younger.

Probably because I never had kids, lol! My parents are in their mid 70's and look at least 15 years younger than they are as well and are very active.

I think part of it is that I haven't lived my life hitting certain age appropriate goals (other than going to college, grad school and getting a job). But I haven't been married (I've come close), had kids, grand kids, etc, so those milestones haven't made me feel like I have aged like some of my peers.

[Skittles]

136. you want I should kick your young-looking ass, smirkymonkey?

YOU KNOW I WILL

[smirkymonkey]

137. You can try, but it's a little saggy Skittles. You might fall on your ass.

[DFW]

141. I own fossils of animals that used to be my house pets

or, as Woody Guthrie put it:

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nuthin' in this world that I don't know
I saw Peter Paul and Moses playin' ring-around-the-roses
And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so
Well, I'm just a lonesome traveler, a great historical bum
Highly educated through history I have come
I built the Rock of Ages, it was in the year of one
And that's about the biggest thing that Man has ever done
I saw Adam and Eve driven from the door
I'm the guy that picked the figleaves that they wore
And from behind the bushes peepin' saw the apple they was eatin'
And I swear that I'm the one that et the core
Now I built the garden of Eden, it was in the year oh two
Joined the apple-pickers union and I always paid my dues
I'm the man that signed the contract to raise the risin' sun
And that's about the biggest thing that Man has ever done
I taught Samson how to use his mighty hand
I showed Columbus to this happy land
And for Pharaoh's little kiddies I built all the pyramiddies
And to the Sahara carried all the sand
Now I was strawboss on the pyramids and the tower of Babel too
I opened up the ocean, let the mighty children through
I fought a million battles and I never lost a one
And that's about the biggest thing that Man has ever done
I taught Solomon his little ABC's
I'm the first one to eat Limburger cheese
And while floating down the bay with Methuseleh one day
I saw his whiskers floating in the breeze
Now I fought the revolution that set this country free
It was me and a couple of Indians that dumped the Boston tea
I won the battle of Valley Forge and the battle of Bully Run
And that's about the biggest thing that Man has ever done
Now Queen Elizabeth she fell in love with me
We were married in Milwaukee secretly
But I got tired and shook her and ran off with General Hooker
To go shootin' skeeters down in Tennessee

Yeah, that's the ticket!

29 it is.

[Dawgs]

168. Are you joking about not putting real age on internet?

If not, why?

Yeah, I'm one of those old farts that isn't supposed to know jack shit about jack shit.

In reality, I'm riding the express train to early SSN retirement. If the Democrats don't give it away before I get there.
