How old are you?

Post by Joaz Banbeck »

...and how old do you feel?

I started this same thread on GD exactly one year ago on the occasion of my 51st birthday. In the interest of furthering the introduction of new members and celebrating my next, I'm starting it here.

I'm 52. When I get up in the morning I feel 62, as the damaged C8/T1 disc is always a little sore if I lie in one position for more than an hour. That goes away in about 2 minutes. The knees loosen up about 1/2 hour later. By breakfast time I feel 52 again.

At least once, maybe twice a week I play volleyball with a group that ranges from 20 to 55. But I can keep up with people in their 30's, and I feel like I'm 30 again. ( Those people in their 40s are awfully slow! )

I'm 28, and I kind of feel like whatever I am I guess. I don't really think about it a great deal, but I certainly don't think I feel much younger or older :P

I'm 26, and over the course of the week I feel various ages within 10 years of that.
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

I'm 26. I guess that makes me Joaz divided by 2.

I feel like I'm 16 or so.

Old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway.

41. Mostly I feel young still. When I look in the mirror or at photos I'm sometimes surprised how old I've gotten. I'm still in decent shape thanks probably to exercise, eating right-ish, and good genes...but my hair is gray and my skin is rougher and more lined than it was 10 or 20 years ago.

Also once in a while something reminds me that I'm getting old. I've got some tendinitis now. I get pain in my lower back when I abuse it. That didn't used to happen. :-|

I'm 24, but I feel like I'm going to wake up tomorrow and find that I'm 40.

You will, don't worry. Or it'll seem like tomorrow.
