Re: How old are you?

Post by DrStraw »

I'll be 58 in two months and as my hair has been completely white for several years most people think I am older. At my last checkup at the physician's I was told I was in the top few percent for my age and that reflects how I feel. If I work too hard outdoor, as I do most days in the summer, it takes a little longer to recover, but I still feel at least 10 years younger than I am and can usually outdo many people in their 40s.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

54 now, when I look in the mirror sometimes in the morning I see my father. Running and cycling help keep me in relative good shape. When I grow up I want to be like a friend of mine, he's 77 and still skis black diamond runs on a regular basis.

Im 24, my wife looks 12. and my son looks 3...

Usually i feel alot older then i am due to walking pnumonia (it sucks) but when i go to the park with the wee one i have to say i feel 13 again... until we go home then i feel 60.

Most of my life there was alot of unneeded stress around me so it made me more mature and horribly ages me, both mentall and psyically.. This also made me have a beard of gray >.<

but oh well.

34... I'm surprised to see that there are so many people of my age and beyond on this forum. I'd have believed that the average was much lower.

And yes, as most mentioned, time flies.

Uh, your wife looks 12?

And...walking pneumonia? I've had that, it took me a few months to get back to full strength after having that, but it is temporary. How long have you ahad the pneumonia, and how much longer is it expected to last?

22, but i certainly feel a lot older due to poor genes. very slow metabolism, some physical pain, im already going bald...often feel like i really should be in my 40s-50s. though i never did enjoy being young so i guess it works for me.

I've just realised, much to my great amusement, that I got my own age wrong, I'm actually 27. It's sad that I only noticed after I read shapenaji's post and thought "wait a minute, that's how old I am, I'm certain I said 28" :P

FWIW, I will be 28 in ten days, but still ...

My handle contains my year of birth. So there, gonna be 30 in a month's time.

I often feel old because I tire very easily. But when I look at fashion these days, I wish I am 5 to 10 years younger.
