Age Poll

[walter o]

Well I am 87 and still semi- active .I walk TO THE BATHROOM 6 TIMES A NITE.

 

[jem102]

73 and as others have said surprised I made it this far. Dealing with some health issues but the Dr's have been able to keep things in check so as already stated; a few gallons left in the tank, tires hold air and the engine runs. My Lord has been extremely loving and generous with me.

 

[H Richard]

Well, I'm in that small group just past the big group.


11/3/24: I find it a little disturbing there are so many in the 60+ categories, and so few in the 20-40 age categories.

We're all in the greatest fighting regiment known to man, "The Big Brown One." All our exploits are legendary and the telling only gets better over time. Joe

Or ... at least had a LOT MORE fun when I was still young , strong and vigerous ...

Yup, I feel like I was too busy working to spend much time having fun.

Well ain't that the truth now!

 

[HeloMt]

I always knew I would die...I just never thought I would get old!

 

[NYlakesider]

As I type this the clock says 79 years. Rather surprising, as like many on here I have a bunch of medical problems.

Many I think due to my occupation. (pipefitter/welder) Exposed to many chemicals and nuclear radiation, a 22' fall from a tank and working outside in NY states nasty weather.

 

[Mark8]

Average age so far: 66.2

 

[pmanton]

86 and I wanna be 18 again!

 

[MetalMan]

I'll be turning 70 in January but put myself in the 60-69 category.

Still working but plan to retire at the end of 2025.

Knock on wood, wife and I are still healthy enough to be planning some post-retirement travel but recognize that, at this point in our lives, every day is a gift not to be taken for granted.

 

[Retired W4]

Well we (70-79) don't have a majority but we do have a plurality.

 

[DHernandez]

Crazy that being in my 50s puts me in the younger section

Give it a little more time, it will change!

 

[Tinyman]

Turned 75 on this Mother's Day -- same day Mrs. Tinyman passed.

 

[StephenWhoDat]

I just hit the big 4-0 in May. You old timers are making me feel young! Also, marrying a woman 8 years younger than me is helping to keep me young, I suppose. Now, any of you blue hairs got any advice on how to stop my hair loss?! My father said he already had way less than hair than me at 40, but he also had two wild a** kids by the time he was mid 30s.

My father was the same -- he said to 'suck it up' and let nature do it's thing.

 

[pasound]

74, and happy I'm here.

 

[SGT ROCK 11B]

About 85% of us are 50 or older. Almost 45% are over age 70.

I didn’t expect us to be particularly young, but this is longer in the tooth than expected.

I wonder what this forbodes for the interest in Smith & Wessons in the near & distant future?

Revolvers will be just a niche like black powder shooting.

S&W will continue with the 9mm pistols.

 

[peterdeb]

I'm gonna live forever or die trying.
