What ages are we here at DU?

[ima_sinnic]

I've been curious to know where we fall age-wise. Have been surprised to learn how young some DUers are. Please indicate which group you're in, and don't bother lying, since it's all anonymous! I broke the first group at 17 because (most) 17-year-olds will be old enough to vote in November 2004.

of the immaturity of the posts.

[ima_sinnic]

[goobergunch]

and angry because I can't vote in 2004.

[VermontDem2004]

13. I am 16 too and won't be old enough to vote in '04 either by 22 days.

It surprises me you are 16 because you seem to be one of the most informed people out there on what is going on.

[goobergunch]

16. Thanks

I'm the only kid at my school that would rather watch C-SPAN than MTV. :shrug:

[VermontDem2004]

17. lol me too

[never cry wolf]

49. hang in guys (gals?)

it all evens out. i turned 18 30 days in time to vote for mc govern against nixon in 1972, the first election 18 years olds could vote. started college and had a crazy poli sci prof who actually thought that that silly little break in at the watergate would lead to something BIG TIME. sometimes things move much too slowly for a teen.

as a bonus, 30 days after my 19th b-day illinois lowered the drinking age to 19 and soon after i turned 21 they rasied it again to keep the little shits outta the bars.

hey, I am very surprised at the age for both of you guys and agree that you both are very well informed, it is very heartening. keep it up!!!! my son is 17, registered to vote and is the chicago area high school coordinator for kerry. havn't gotten him into du yet tho, time will tell.

[marmoh]

reminds me of the headline on the Variety obituary for Jack Benny:
"Jack Benny Dead at 39" (Benny was 39 and holding for over 30 years...)

Vitruvius

P.S: My favorite Variety headline was after the 1929 stock market crash: "Wall Street Lays an Egg".

[leftist_rebel1569]

[SPICYHOT]

We're not 30 yet!

:toast:

[stilpist]

43. Late forties.

Next birthday I'll be forty twenty one. (Sixty now, in case that's confusing.)

- stil

[angka]

44. using onlineconversion.com's 'dog years' calculator, i would be 129.

and it's not 7 dog years to one human, either, so that won't help you. they said it's "10.5 dog years per human year for the first 2 years, then 4 dog years per human year for each year after."

i'm not even gonna check and see if that's right.

[rainydaywoman]

45. 28

29 next month

It's great to see all the young ppl on here!
It gives me hope. I live in a rural area of Pa and most young ppl know nothing about what's going on!
Hmmm...maybe that's why I married an older guy. LOL

[greatauntoftriplets]

46. Barely

54. And I have NO problem with it.

[baldguy]

47. 39

And I'm planning on staying here for a while.

[Sperk]

48. 42 and KUDOS to the under 21 crowd! When I was that age..

I was more concerned with next party than the next President. And as for the over 90 crowd, WOW good for you for learning how to surf the internet! And words of wisdom for us youngsters? See, I'm still a youngster to someone. :-)

[Section_43]

52. 38

[Syn_Dem]

54. 15

I think I am OFFICIALLY the youngest DU'er as the other 15 year old is LeftistRebel....and he's older than me.

[Nomad559]

55. 44

People are always surprised when I tell them my age, they tell me I look to be about 25 to 30 years old.

I've always looked young for my age. :hi:

[noiretextatique]

57. me too 44...and everyone thinks i'm younger

:D thank goodness for good genes!

[St. Jarvitude]

69. Wrong!

14 here (15 in late september)! :-D

[MiltonLeBerle]

56. Wow- turn it on it's side, and you've got a nice bell curve...

Just as it should be.

[StaggerLee]

58. 35

36 in December

[MiltonLeBerle]

59. 42.637 as of today.

I'll be 43 in February.

[Quahog]

60. 43

And not feeling a whole lot different than I did when I was 29.

Well, angrier! :grr:

[sujan]

61. 24

[Aristus]

62. 34. Sometimes I feel like I'm a million years old.

How will I feel when I'm 100? I dunno. Life goes by more quickly the older you get.

[Zephyrbird]

63. Hey, you middle agers

go to the window, throw it open, and scream with me:

"WE'RE MIDDLE AGED AND MAD AS HELL AND WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANY MORE!!"

YEAH!

[CO Liberal]

64. I'm 50

And I EARNED every wrinkle and gray hair........

[Lydia Leftcoast]

65. A couple of months into age 53

but most people peg me as being in my forties. :7

[punpirate]

66. A young-thinking, but...

... but old-feeling 56. They say the legs go at 35, and mine went at 40. It was still a long time ago--too long ago for me to be giving Michael Jordan fits on the court.

Exercise now is limited to consumption of pleasant wine, inspired cooking, good conversation, longish walks and a little sweetness in the night, every once in a while.

Cheers.

[kmla]

67. 41.

Slightly paunchy. Receding Hairline. 29.5 years left on a 30 year mortgage. Soccer dad. Minivan driver.

If you put a big pair of plastic rim glasses on me, I turn into Clark Griswold...

[MaryBear]

70. Just how old would

a grandma bear be?
