Do you like your age?

[cynatnite]

I'm 44. I feel much younger. In fact, my age isn't a big deal at all. I like my age.

Happy Birthday to me :toast:

How do you feel about your age?

[JTG of the PRB]

1. Somewhat insecure. Not that being 25 is bad...

...but next month is my birthday. I'll be 26, and at the end of my mid-20's. Then it'll be the late 20's, and, soon enough, I'll be in my 30's.

I don't feel bad about it, but I'm not totally thrilled about it either. I guess I'm somewhat indifferent? :shrug:

[mcctatas]

2. Which one?

the one I tell everyone, or the truth :P

[PaddyBlueEyes]

10. No

the one you act like when you go out....:hide: :rofl:

[mcctatas]

14. Oh, you mean 25.....

like the boys who buy me drinks? :hide:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

15. sharpens numerous weapons

and begins the list....one by one. :grr: :patriot:

[mcctatas]

16. Calm down agro-celt....

I am a reformed woman remember :loveya:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

18. Yes Honey

You are so beautiful...That i just cant help it.. *curse this wrapped around her finger thing*

[darkstar]

3. Happy B-Day!!!

:toast: :party:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear cynatnite!

Well, I'm 65...

And I like my age just fine too!

It beats the alternative by a country mile...

Age is a consequence of living...

:hi:

[Redstone]

5. What choice to I have? Like it or not, it'll still be here. Happy birthday to you.

Redstone

[emilyg]

6. Happy Birthday.

[Skittles]

7. any age I am is fine with me, doesn't bother me

probably helps that at age 51 I have no gray hair and am a size 4 :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. Happy Birthday cynatnite

(sign at night?) :D :party:

[DarkTirade]

9. I didn't mind too much... until I went back to school.

Now I'm ancient. Decrepit. Old. Well over the legal drinking age. :P

[cynatnite]

12. going back to school hasn't made me feel old or anything like that...

In a lot of ways it's made me feel much younger.

I'm just glad to be over the legal drinking age, you know. :smoke:

[DarkTirade]

13. It's weird though.

The people I'm in class with are often from a completely different generation than I was.

[flvegan]

11. Just a number.

[KitchenWitch]

17. I am 44, I act much younger.

:P

[Inchworm]

19. Sure

I like yours too!

Happy Happy!

:toast:

[LeftyMom]

20. Not really.

I'm old enough that my metabolism isn't what it used to be, and I can't stay up all night without feeling like shit the next day, but not old enough to be quite settled down and established (read: not broke) yet.

[reyd reid reed]

21. A year ago I was fine with it

Six months ago, I was okay with it. Now I'm not so sure. Inside I feel young -- until the mood swings kick in. Didn't help that I tripped and fell in the garage before Thanksgiving -- and was sore for 2 weeks after. Couldn't really take a good deep breath for another 2 weeks after that.

[kentauros]

22. Happy Happy Joy Joy Birthday cynatnite !

:D

I'm 47 and I don't feel it, either. Most say I look like I'm in my late thirties. I can't really tell if I still feel like I'm 30-something, but I don't think about my age as it is. Although turning 50 in a little more than couple of years may make me think about it more, especially if I'm still out of shape... ;)

[Lucian]

23. I'm 26 and I feel old.

It's scaring the hell out of me that I'll be turning thirty in three and a half years. :scared:

[Ava]

24. i'm 18

not much to complain about, though i'm sure i could if i tried ;)

[Juche]

25. 29 is nice

Being a young adult is a nice window in between the period of being an insecure, confused kid (which most people are when they are young) and being someone who is old enough to start seeing their health deteriorate to the point where activities and recovery are limited. My SIL said she cried when she turned 30, but I am looking forward to it. I predict my 30s will be alot more stable and enjoyable than my 20s because I have more life experience, social skills, comprehension of relevant issues, etc. Plus I'll still have decent health for at least a decade or two if I work at it. Hurrah.

On another note I think I'll really like my twilight years (80s) as I figure by then you have a good enough understanding of who and what you are that you really don't care anymore about what people think and all the risks that scare the hell out of everyone else are petty to you by then. I look forward to my 30s and 40s.

[RebelOne]

26. Absolutely not.

I'll be 70 on Sunday. I don't want to be that old. But it's better than the alternative. At least, I am still alive and in fairly good health.

[meow2u3]

27. Being 48 stinks

Too young to get any respect from the kids, but too old to indulge in youthful exuberance :(

[seemunkee]

28. I'm comfortable with it

I'm glad to be alive and don't take any day for granted

[swag]

29. I'm 47. Probably more than half-way there! Yay!

[Fran Kubelik]

30. Happy birthday!

And yes, I like my age. Glad you like yours, too.

[raccoon]

31. I'm 59, and I like it , Yes I like it love it like it love it.

There are some downers about getting older, but I personally am much happier than I was in my childhood, adolescence (arghh!) and my 20's.

[MorningGlow]

32. I just turned 43

"19 in the head" as the poem goes. I can gleefully go about my business till I look in the mirror. YIKES! Who IS that woman who looks a lot like my mother, anyway?! Is that a...WRINKLE?!?! :scared:

[PRETZEL]

33. I don't know

I'm turning 50 next month. That in and of itself doesn't bother me. I think what bothers me is that I'm not happy where I am or where I thought I would be at this stage of my life. Not career wise, I love my job and I wouldn't trade that, it's my own personal life and my personality.

[MissMillie]

34. I'm 44 too

and I'm ok w/ my age except the hot flashes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. Not really, but I can't do anything about it and it's better than the alternative.

Happy Birthday.

[Wapsie B]

36. Well it's not like I have a lot of choice in the matter. It is what it is.

Until they invent time machines allowing someone a literal do-over in their life we had better be ok with our age 'cause there ain't no changing it except moving ahead.

[MineralMan]

37. I'm 63. It beats the alternative.

[LaraMN]

38. Yes, I do! I wouldn't trade 31 for 21!

:thumbsup:

[azmouse]

39. I'm 47 and absolutely love being this age.

I've taken care of myself and most people think I'm only in my mid 30s. I can live with that. :)

[Bake]

40. No dammit. I think we should have Age Change Amnety!!

:-)

[AwakeAtLast]

41. Just turned 39, not too happy about it

I'm hoping to get out of this funk about it. :(

[LibDemAlways]

42. I hate my age - 56. I have a 15-year-old daughter who

looks a lot like I did at her age. I love her to pieces, but she serves as a constant reminder that my youth is gone. Those of you who are younger, enjoy every minute. One day you'll look in the mirror and say, "Who the hell is that?"

[auntAgonist]

43. happy birthday!

I had one too on the 12th. I am ok with my age. Can't change it. :)

I guess I'd like to be about 20 years younger with the knowledge I have now. Oh what changes I'd make.

aA
:hi:

[Arugula Latte]

44. I just turned 43 and I feel sort of ... antsy

Like I want to do something more with my life. Definitely make more money -- I hate thinking about how my parents were much better off financially at my age than I am. I don't want great wealth -- just more security, able to pay for kids' college, retirement and some home repairs that have been neglected. Also, I'd like to do something that matters or helps people and animals.

On the other hand, I've done okay -- graduated college, grad school, successful marriage, wonderful son and daughter, nice house in great neighborhood in city I love, have traveled a lot, a parttime job in my field, and I'm very healthy, so I know compared to LOTS of people I have it great. I just need to step it up in the career area. Oprah -- I need you! ;)

[Swede]

45. Happy birthday.

:toast:

[applegrove]

46. Happy Birthday to you. Yes I agree. 44 is young.
