I just realized I am a year younger than I thought I was.

[graywarrior]

How the fuck did I walk around for 6 months telling people the wrong age? How does one do that? This truly a sign of old age. And now I have a resentment against myself for wasting all that time thinking one thing and being another. WTF? No wonder I hate it here lately. I am completely wrong about everything.

I just hope I don't run into myself too often. What a disaster.

1. I shouldn't laugh at you.

But I am. Sorry. :rofl:

[graywarrior]

9. Why not, I am laughing at my own self...specially in the full length mirror.

It's that or I vomit.

[WCGreen]

32. You need to squint when you do that...

I find that I look at least ten minutes younger when I do that...

[mzteris]

2. look on the bright side

you're a year younger than you thought you were!

Reason enough for a :party: in my book!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

3. I did the exact same thing a few years back.

For almost the entire year I thought I was forty eight, when I was in fact forty seven.

Tell ya what- it's a great feeling, getting an entire year back after the realization hits ya!

[SPKrazy]

4. Come see me

I work in a place where we can help you get it all figured out :D

you're fine gray

:hi:

[some guy]

5. eh

after 21, it's just a number, and doesn't signify anything important.

Congrats on reversing the aging process, though. :P

[Nikia]

6. On several occaisions, I have told people that I am younger than I am

And actually believed what I was telling them for that moment. Last time I went to the emergency room when I was a bit out of it, I told them I was two years younger than I was.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. I caught myself doing that the other day... sadly, I will be a year older

in two weeks. :cry:

And, what a shock, I hate it here lately too.

:hi: :hug:

[u4ic]

11. 29 isn't so bad, MrsG

;) :hug: :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Awww...

You're the best. :loveya:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

14. When's your birthday?

Mine is June 7. Just curious.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. June 6th...the day before yours.

I was born in 1970. :hi:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

27. Then you're still quite a young lady.

I was born in '55, which makes me.... er, never mind.

I also have a big sister whose birthday is June 3. As fellow Geminis, we've stuck together all our lives.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Yes, because nobody else ever really understands us.

:D

[u4ic]

28. Spring chicken!

I'm almost half a decade older than you!






Don't mind me, just passin' thru...

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. That's a cute smiley...

...but you act younger than me. I used to have to post a MrsGrumpy is not a septarian thread everyonce in awhile. ZombyWoof thought I had grandkids.

[Lars39]

8. I've done that!

It's embarrassing. :blush:

[graywarrior]

10. Now I understand why Mr. Gray spends his life rolling his eyes when he's with me.

I'm a walking, talking idiot.

[ornotna]

12. I've done that

If it makes you feel any better, my dementia lasted a year and a half. :P

[graywarrior]

13. What gets me is the people who know me, never said anything.

Like I'm the crazy, altzeimer old bat with pureed spinach all over my housecoat.

[wildhorses]

15. look at it this way ---

you just gained 6 months:shrug:

be sure to say hey to yourself as you pass...heehee

[alphafemale]

16. That's not so bad. I have to mentally calculate every time someone asks.

It's not something I place much "selfhood" on, I guess.

And speaking of age...When do people stop attaching fractions to their age?

I'm 11 and a half.

I'm 15 and three quarters.

You don't hear anyone say....I'm 43 and a half.

And people hold onto 29 until the last nanosecond.

Although really old people, 85+ seem to get a kick about bragging about their ages. Just like kids do.

[graywarrior]

17. 98% of the people I work with (over 300) are 65 and up.

Shit, I have to navigate around walkers and oxygen machines. And it sounds like a TB ward. I'm one of the youngest there. Ain't nothin' to be proud about, tho.

[Inchworm]

18. I do the math too

Unless someone I know is around, I immediately look to them for the answer. Most of my family/friends know that I truly am guessing if I say a number so they blurt it out.

The last little while I remember because it's on my website and I see it often.

:silly:

[graywarrior]

19. You belong in my pathetic little club of victims with dying brain cells

[Inchworm]

25. I'd join

I may forget I'm a member though.

:D

[alphafemale]

24. So I'm not alone in my lunacy.

kewl

[Withywindle]

20. My mother found out a few years ago that her birth certificate was wrong!

In her late 50s, she found out that she was actually a year younger than she'd thought HER WHOLE LIFE. Her mother died when she was little and her family life was kind of chaotic and it just kind of slipped notice. She'd always celebrated the right birthday, just the wrong year!

[femmocrat]

23. That is really funny!

I always have to stop and think and do a quick calculation to remember! The way the years just fly by, it's no wonder we can't keep track!

:silly:

[graywarrior]

26. Man, I remember despising people like us.

[snailly]

31. My sister did that

She told everybody she was 36 when she was 35. I asked her why the fuck? She just said she jumped ahead with the acceptance. 35,36,45 It doesn't matter. We all melt into nothing soon enough. No I'm not Jewish. LOL

34. One of my exes did that for a few years...

I had to convince him that I was correct, he wasn't 30 yet! :rofl:

[electron_blue]

35. LOL, I've done that before. As recently as on my birthday last week when I told someone the wrong

age. Anda higher number, of course. I think it's a good sign that we're not attached to our age that much. ;)

[NewWaveChick1981]

36. At least it wasn't the other way around...

:hi: :D :toast: Enjoy your "extra" year...you need some fun! :bounce:

BTW, my husband has to ask me how old he is from time to time. He can't keep up with it. :rofl: And incidentally, he's 46. :P
