I tell everyone I am 24 41 times. Next year I will be 24 42 times. I don't have other people strong math skills but I know how I usually feel. :-)

74

67

1941 model

60 I was excited for senior discounts , but haven’t seen many, I exercise more now than my younger years and feel pretty darn good!

62. I'd be happy if I just stayed at THIS number. Cryogenics can just freeze me in time....please?!

Will be 73 when my 1st Greatgrandchild is born in April.

Born 1945, shortly before the war in Europe ended.

I am 87.

Sue

Recently became 69.

73

Will there be a KT in 30 or 40 years? Makes me wonder. Will Amylou be the only one here? I think she's the only young one amongst us.

76! I'm a baby boomer!

Turned 69 this past May. b. 1953

Main complaint -arthritis in hands and feet. ugh. And I have lots of garden and property to care for. Hoping to win the lottery so I can pay someone to help me in the future.

62 for a couple more months. 1959

OK, all you spring chicks............I'll be 96 in a couple of weeks. I certainly didn't plan on this much life, but it's what I was handed. I feel great, although I use a rollator, for which I'm grateful, as it keeps me moving.

Gotta love it!

I am a 1942 model. For an 80 year old, not too bad of shape, so there (I hope and think) will be at least a few more years to come.

I just turned 60 in April. Today is my sister’s birthday She’s 70

I'm 79. I didn't mind any of the other decade birthdays, but 80 sounds serious. lol I won't mind that one either though. My mom had just turned 38 when she died, so I've always appreciated my various ages.

I threw myself a party for my 40th, and handed out hints of what the guests should say to me. ("My gosh, I thought you were 22!" was one.) My dad died nine days before my 50th, but friends threw me a surprise party with lots of singing around the piano. Another friend gave me a party for my 60th with jazz musicians. And my kids threw me a surprise party at an elegant venue for my 70th. The surprises were truly surprises, and great fun, but even though I won't turn 80 until April I've already told my daughter what kind of a party I want--much more casual, at her lake house, with my friends and hers (I love her friends), either catered or potluck. I figured I'd let her decide something. And if we're in another Covid surge and don't want to gather indoors, I'll just move my birthday to summer and we can move the party to the dock.

Fun thread. Nice to know we're all kickin' to one degree or another.

82, and amazed as my siblings that i have lived decades longer than our parents , who died when we were still kids.

My grandmother used to say that a woman who will tell her age will tell anything. And my favorite aunt said that she picked an age she liked and waved to her friends as they went by. They're both gone now, but I'm still here at 66 (born 1956). I've just begun to notice some wrinkles. I think that means I need softer lighting.

59 and holding. And holding. And holding.

Sixty-six as of this month. My parents were the same age, but looked almost ten years apart. My siblings who resemble our father, get mistaken for being older than their age. My siblings who resemble our mother, get mistaken for being younger. I'm the only one who's a blend of both my parents, and I don't get mistaken as older or younger, in person.

But on the phone, (if my age is relevant to whatever I'm ordering or discussing) I'm often told 'You sound a lot younger.' I've offered that perhaps my voice sounds higher pitched on the phone. The response is always along the lines of 'It's not your voice, but you speak in a quicker cadence, like younger people.' Well, okay, if that's what they think equals a youthful way of speaking. But I'd still rather be mistaken for looking younger than sounding younger, lol! ; )

double nickels as they say ;-)

I'm in good company - like Lars, I'm 72, just another 1950 baby.

65 for a few more days

I’ll be 72 next month.

62. Ouch.

Ancient boomer!

70. This was a hard one for me.

I just turned 76.

1959 baby, turned 63 last spring. I feel pretty good, except for some right hip pain. I've had two doctors tell me it's not my hip, rather sciatica, so I've decided maybe I should try an injection. In any case, it's not bad enough for replacement surgery I feel too young for that ha ha.

73 so far

73, still can't believe it!

Yikes!!

Jane

I turned 77 in September- hard to believe!

I'm 58 and holding very tightly to those 50's!

I turned 62 this past August. (same birthday as Glenda's grandson I believe? The 15th) I won't ever lie abt my age, I'll take every year given to me.

That's a beautiful sentiment Katlan!

I've been told that I sound younger on the phone, but I think that's because people think I sound silly. I also think that is why they laugh at me a lot.

I live with my brother who is 15 years younger, and we have often been asked whether we are twins, which is rather insulting to my brother. He really hates it if they go on to ask which one of us is older. However, he is a redhead, and those often do not age well. He has also always acted mature for his age, whereas I never did.

76 --never thought I would live this long, as there is not longevity in my family. I love every birthday I have! My birthday celebrations are truly Happy.

I’m 65 and tomorrow my husband turns 70.

LOL, he just told me he hopes these 70s are as much fun as the last 70s he experienced.

From the looks of it, the age medium appears to be 70.

>> 83? Glenda that's not what you said the last time!

I don't understand. Did she say another age last time? I think that none of us are the same age that we were the last time this was asked (unless it was asked recently)! Haha.

I am 69

84 soon to be 85 in Feb.

66 and just went through one FIERCE hurricane and glad to be here at 66!!

People often get funny about telling their ages as the numbers get bigger. But on this thread people are coming out of the woodwork to share! It's interesting to me how many names I don't recognize here.

We were never in the woodwork!! lol

Just now seeing this. I'll be 62 two weeks from today, but my 3rd graders keep me young (most days!)
