People don't post their actual age

My real age is 35 and my birth certificate says so... so unless the Dept. of Vital Statistics in the province messed up... yep, that's my real age.

30 and terrible at jokes.

I'm a supercentenarian in goat years so.

How old would I be in dog years? Hmmmm.

Muddle-aged topic

I am actually in my fifties. I have had some members wonder how old I really am. I never thought I came across as a young person. I am not interested in Facebooks, Myspace, MSN, Youtubes and the like. I prefer print media and reading, though I am very visual, as is the case for many Aspies.

There are seniors, some in their seventies and eighties on this site. Aspies are not all in their twenties and thirties.

TallyMan, what is that thing in the coffee cup? Looks like one of your bones.

I'm not an "old-timer" lol, in any sense of the word, but the age listed under my username is real. I'm 26 now & will be 27 tomorrow.

When I was born;

There were 48 stars on the flag

Cars had Tail Fins

The Russians had just launched Sputnik

Elvis was King (and slim...

Smoking was just fine for you.

There was no problems with ozone or carbon..

Toothpaste came in metal tubes

Communism was the big threat, and we had all the oil we needed (gas prices were maybe...a quarter or so per gallon)

If you wanted to program a computer, you had to visit it. You had to program it either with punched cards, or wire plastic blocks in a particular pattern, then reinsert them in the computer. They hot new language was COBOL (which is actually older than I am...

If you wanted to dail long distance, you'd probably need an operator.

If you wanted to mail something, you had an entirely different set of state abbreviations. No one had every heard of a zip code.

Eisenhower was president, and Nixon was only 2nd banana...

Segregation was in full effect, there were no Miranda rights, and only a handful of schools were integrated. The Army was using most of the same equipment they had in WWII...rifles still had wooden stocks. In the South, you couldn't get gas on Sunday morning, anything alcoholic the whole day. Stamps were just a few pennies (maybe 3...) apiece.

People still took airplanes most places, jets were being introduced to the public (well, to be honest, most airlines had them, but short-haul flights often had propellers).

Movies didn't have ratings, because the Hayes commission wouldn't let you have 14 categories of action (including bad guys winning, long kisses, or bad cops). Art films came from Europe, and pr0n was unknown to many people.

TV had 3 channels. There were a few UHF stations, but that was it.

Telegraphs were the email you'd get, and those cost money.

Schools did nuclear war drills (they stopped before I actually got to school in the 60s, but older folks will remember 'duck and cover'...

Well, that's enough reminiscing... I'm an old f%rt at 51..

Age 44, and I posted it from the beginning because I didn't want anyone creeped out by thinking I am younger.

I put in my right age. 18 I am. Indeed.

I'm really 30 years old.

<-- 51.

I'll be 52 by summer.

Indeed, I do in fact have an age.

I'm really 30, I'll be turning 31 in August.

I turn 30 on December 10th.

alright, ya got me. i'm an elven princess who ages very slowly. i'm 1,000 and don't look a day over 16.

Perhaps some people are insecure about their age.

Or maybe they choose an age that is more of a state of mind.
