Howdy agent. If you're a "member" at 15, what do you suppose they'll call you when you're 50 and have posted ten zillion messages?
Glad to see that I'm not the oldest. 2OldGeek and Gunnard have me beat. I'm 62 and will be 63 in May 06. I have gray sideburns, but most of my hair (and I still have a 98% full head of it) is blonde, so the gray doesn't look too bad.
I streaked by my wife naked the other night , and she said what ever that was she saw out of the corner of her eye needed to be [bold]ironed.[/bold] Thats how old I am.
forty eight (48) my oldest son is twenty eight (28) my oldest grandchild is four (4) my last hapiest moment was today (this day) my next happiest moment should be tomorrow (the day after this day)
@regor, Right on bro, I have 12 grand kids and 8 great-grand kids and as my favorite guy once said…. ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been. That was Will Rogers...
WOW WOW WOW 12 and 8. Somebody was busy Good for you and yours! Yes, as GrandpaBW says, "Life is Good" btw - I was right... my next happiest moment was today. Looking forward to tomorrow for yet another. plus i get better looking every day, that helps
Thought I'd put in a plug for my dear ol' Dad. I'm 53 but at that, I was an "accident"; my Dad will be 100 in June. He is the youngest of 18 kids (farmers/lumberjacks in Quebec all had huge families)and my aunt Germaine, his sister, is still going strong at 102. I remember (barely) my grandma, dad's Ma, who died at 102 when I was five or six (she looked and acted like grandma on the old Beverly Hillbillies!)...hard to believe she was born before the civil war! It's neat at family dinners ... five generations at the table. Dad recently got his first great great grandson. At 53, I'm in a hell of a precarious position though...seems we either die around fifty or live to be over 100! On my office wall, I have dozens of ancient photographs (great icebreaker given my kind of work) and the wierd thing is, I knew every one of them. Sort of neat.
Hi ddp! That was an unintentionally loaded question on your part but, if only by point of fact, the answer to that is no; I'm a first generation american born in New England. My parents are from Ste. Felix de Valois and Ste. Jude in Quebec. I was born and raised in a totally french canadian (some folks would give me serious hell for that) town in New England; even the schools were taught in French. I spent quite a lot of my childhood in Joliette and Ste. Jude. I spoke very poor english until I went to high school in Rhode Island where I was kept back because of my poor english. I've lost most of my accent except for the occasional slip but give me a couple of drinks and slowly, "H" and "th" become impossible to pronounce and say things like " Me, I tink dat..." and everyone gets a good chuckle! While I like to think that I've gotten the best of both cultures, I was raised in a totally french canadian culture and I miss it more that I can say as I now live in Philadelphia. I often think of trying to find a way to move to Quebec; the U.S. is a great country with wonderful people and it is a privilege to be a citizen(so please, folks, don't write back and call me nasty names) but given the people and the culture in which I was raised, the simple truth is that I miss it and sometimes feel like the proverbial fish out of water. I think about moving to Quebec all the time and back to the culture and my roots from which I frequently feel estranged. I know you asked a very brief and simple question, ddp, but I didn't know how to respond in kind! Sorry for rambling!
I am 57, and have been married for 38 years have two daughters and 1 son. I have 7 grandsons and 1 very spoiled grandaughter. Age is just a number it's your outlook on life that counts and what you do with it.
At 63:Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
