Do you ever forget your age? I do.

[amerikat]

I'm not very good with time.I thought I was 57.
turns out I'm only 56.

If you know your birthday and year of birth this site
will figure it out for you.

Maybe you will also lose a year. Don't blame me
if you are older than you thought.

1. my age, my size

the fact that my knees cant take that anymore...oh yeah:rofl:

[amerikat]

2. My knees are in dog years......lets not go there

Please?

[csziggy]

3. I'm 39, just like Jack Benny was until the day he died.

I think he was 39 for about a hundred years or so.

10. Me, too!

:hi:

[pinboy3niner]

11. I'm 39, too. I get 39er every year!

I used to think I wouldn't live to be 30. Now I've ... approximately ... doubled that. Shhhh! That's just between you and me.

[Lars39]

12. Age is the new ' Vegas far as I'm concerned.

:D

[amerikat]

14. Perfecto

Thanks.

[pinboy3niner]

4. Do I ever! Wait...what was the question?

Where am I? How did I get here?

[amerikat]

5. I think there is an app for that.

umm.......nope. my bad:rofl: :rofl:

[redwitch]

6. Pretty cool site.

I am 650 months old. Not sure if I am happy about that.

[noamnety]

7. the last time I had to respond to a jury summons thing

with that form you send back in the mail, they asked for me age. I put what I thought was right with a (?) after it. I did not get selected.

And I realized later I was indeed off by a year.

[pinboy3niner]

15. If you lose your day job...

...you could have a cush consulting business. :)

[Iggo]

8. Yes, whenever I get near another decade...like right now as I approach 50.

I'll tell strangers I'm 50, or I've been around for 50 years, or "I've been doing it that way for 50 years now" and sometimes I just forget I'm still 49.

[Mojambo]

9. I thought I was 37 all last year when I was really 36. n/t

[jobycom]

13. Yeah, I have to do the calculations sometimes. I've told people as much as three years off

when they've asked. I have a weird habit of giving the age of characters in books I'm reading instead of my own. I'm 45 (I checked), but I was reading a book with a 48 year old character last week, and told two people I was 48. I don't know if it was because of the book, or some other reason.

Funny thing is, I have friends who have started that whole "I'm so old I can't do X" stuff, and my first instinct is to think of them as old and wonder what I'll be like at that age, when we are the same age. Or two days ago I was talking to a friend at work I always get into heated sports discussions with. I don't remember why, but I mentioned that I was 45, and he looked at me funny and said "I always think of you as my age." He's in his late 20s. I don't look that young, I guess I just act immature. :)

[REP]

16. I was born 5 days before the end of the year ... Makes remembering how old when tricky

Most of the time, though, I can keep track.

[abq e streeter]

17. I try, but reality keeps smacking me in the face

I'm 59; I still haven't gotten used to the five in front of the other number, and now I'm out of fives. Like that old (appropriate word under the circumstances) saying goes: "inside of every old person is a young person who's wondering WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED???"

[velvet]

21. oh I hear ya!

I'm on my last five too. Nobody told me it was going to feel so ... wrong. :rofl:

[KT2000]

18. So glad you mentioned this

I forget all the time. Always have to stop and figure it out when asked.

[Roon]

19. I sometimes have to do the math

but this past birthday i was very happy to say that i am 43!

[velvet]

20. Interesting ...

When I go to the link the default date is January 1st 1582. Do they anticipate some of their visitors will be zombies?

[surrealAmerican]

22. Perhaps their site is designed to attract ...

... Renaissance men and women.

[velvet]

24. ooh, verily

We love that kind of thing.

[Crystal Clarity]

23. Hey that linky thing was cool!

And yup, I too sometimes forget how old I am. One particularly embarrassing time was several years ago when one of my birthdays was coming up and I erroneously had been going around telling (thank God only a few people) that I was turning a year older then I really was.

I need to explain... I was extremely busy working a couple of jobs at the time and was under tremendous stress. I had had little sleep after recently having been very sick w/some nasty flu. It was under these circumstances upon which I bizarrely but truly thought I was turning 39 not 38!

Sooo anyway, I was on the phone w/my mother saying something to the effect of how I felt no different at age 39. Silence for a second and then she said "you mean 38". "No 39" I said. When she realized I really believed that, she started laughing. She said "No, you are now 38, I'm sure of it, I was there"!

Oh. My. God. I look back on that and still can't get over how I could possibly have gotten that so wrong. Even the circumstances don't completely explain it... I guess I was just extremely tired to the point of temporarily losing my mind?... I admit that I've inherited a kind of flightiness from my mother, but still wtf? I mean, who does that???

I can laugh at it now, but remember feeling horrified at the time. :dunce:

[pink-o]

25. I've tried and tried, but I just CAN'T forget how old I am!

In fact, I'll be 56 next Thursday. Used to hate having a b'day in December, cuz it was obviously overshadowed by another b'day celebration. However, now that I'm old, it's totally okay if no one acknowledges it.

I've been known to lie upward re my age--WTF?? At the gym, I'll throw out little ripostes to the young thangs, telling them if they stick with a fitness program they too can be healthy at 60. I figure the obfuscation is worth the good it does. Besides, if I try to convince people I'm 40 or something, they're just gonna be thinking that I've lived a sad, hard life to look as old as I do :evilgrin:

Better they think I look amazing for my age!

[Monique1]

26. I know how old I am but I don't feel it most days except when I

climb two flights of stairs or when it is damp outside.

[pink-o]

29. Yeah, or when you hurt yourself and it takes 3 weeks to recover...

when it used to take about 3 hours in your 20s!!!

I try my best to stay athletic and healthy, yet my recovery time for injury and illness is right on time for someone my age.

[Curmudgeoness]

27. Whew, glad I'm not the only one who has a blank stare

when asked how old I am. People act like I am a freak for not knowing---instantly. I mean really, I am one of those ages you mention, I think, and who gives a shit anymore to keep track.

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. I never even told you my age, so there's no reason for you to remember it.

And yes, i do sometimes forget how old I am, so I have to do the math quickly. For the last few years, I've thought of myself as a year older than I really am.

[JTG of the PRB]

30. All I know is that I will celebrate my one billionth second of existence...

On November 1, 2014, at 12:11:40am. I may have to have a party for that. :P

[kayakjohnny]

31. I actually lost the year once. I knew it was either '82 or '83, but for the life of me I didn't know

which.

I was in a tent on a hillside in northern Colorado.

It bothered me so bad, I nearly walked 7 miles to the next town, just to get to a newspaper rack and see.

When I woke the next morning, my head was much clearer and I knew what it was.

It was '83 after all.

That was just weird.
