As soon as I looked at the poll choices I knew the OP was a youngster! I was born in the darkest days of WWII and I'm 71 now. Some days I feel like half that age (mainly when I am out riding my motorcycle) and other days feel every year of my 71. Not being careful enough to take care of myself in my younger years, I am now the product of modern medicine. Quintuple bypass 18 years ago; double knee replacements; partial corneal transplants and several minor operations have helped offset the carelessness of youth.

Maybe I have good genes, since my Mom turns 100 in a few months. But then again, my Dad who never smoked, exercised regularly and was a health nut, died before his 64th birthday from lung cancer. I figure that if I'm lucky I've got about 20 more years in me, enough to see my 10th grandchild reach his 21st birthday.

At my age I keep thinking about simplifying my life but I keep wanting new toys. Lately I've been thinking that I REALLY need a good 45 caliber revolver......

Well...on my birthday - the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas opened!:)
 
I'm in the 22-31 crowd, so I'm a young wipper-snapper. :D

This poll does explain why I like it here, I don't have a lot in common with my generation. Don't have Facebook, a smartphone, a video game system and would rather spend a day in the woods or at the range than go partying. I feel I have more in common when talking with "old" people than people my own age. :confused:

I actually had a friend say that some people are young at heart, but I was a old fart at heart. :D
 
I was what is called a early boomer, born right after WW2 was considered over! Translation of that puts me at 69 and counting.

Considering my wild past when I did not think I would make 30 that is quite the accomplishment. Was a bar bouncer in a couple rather wild bars, enjoyed climbing cliffs without any sort of climbing gear and was a very serious street racer in the muscle car era of the 60s.
