Do you know how old you are every day?

Holding to anything I can.

 

I tend to forget, so I ask my daughter. She remembers everybody's birthday. I mean everybody. Get me Dave K's phone number and I'll have her call him at 5:30 every morning with a list of required birthday greetings.

 

I’m 17 as I have a Birthday every four years.

 

I’m 27 forever…


Yeah I have to subtract my birth year and often ask whoever is asking what the current year is too…

 

I'm one day older than I was yesterday. That's close enough.

 

Got reminded this week and it was fucking 70...

 

My margin of error is always +/- one year. It's always either the age I was, I am, or I am going to be. This margin of error accuracy percentage gets better with every new year.

 

I went almost a whole year in my 40s subconsciously thinking I was a year older than I actually was. That was kinda weird.

52 now (pretty sure) but still perceive myself as late 20s/early 30s

 

somewhere between 35 and 45 is always my guess

 

Plumbing works, hair is present, I can remember where my keys are, I can work a 30 yr old til they want a nap.
I'm not old til I fail one these.

 

Saw this today and it hits home..."Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight."

 

I smacked my head pretty hard at the 24 hrs of Nelson one year and they tell me that I was unable to correctly tell them my age in the med center before the ambulance ride to the hospital. I don't remember that ride, either. I kept telling them I was 57 and the asked Evelyn if that was true. I was 33 at the time.

 

Feeling it this year for some reason. I'll be 69 in a couple of weeks which is actually both surprising and awesome. My mind is still young and nimble. My body keeps insisting that I'm not really that young anymore. I ignore it as much as possible.

For the most part, at some point in your adult life, the actual age doesn't matter much. I don't think I've ever lost count, as I mark years of sobriety, and years of survival with the virus.

The number of years until you'll be living off savings/retirement/401K, etc. matters because of the resources needed by then, but not your actual age.

Friends and family tend to mark the "milestone" years. 40, 50, 60, etc. Sometimes they don't bother. For some their expiration date arrived before yours.

Its all pretty meh. We're here. Be joyful and happy.

 

I was born in a year ending with zero, so it is rather easy to quickly do the math even if the number isn't immediately remembered. Born in 1980, so in 2024, I'm 44. I was also born early in the year, so it's only a month and a half where this could be wrong. I'm usually considering my age though during that month and a half, so I'm relatively aware then.

 

I count the ankle and knee creaks between bed and the can first thing in the morning.
Apparently i'm only 96..

 

But you only look 90

 

Year I graduated high school, yer just a youngun.

 

79 for me....two years early.

 

I got out half a year early, was done mid year. Stayed home to farm.
