We've done this before. Someone was wondering who was the oldest.
I just turned 61 but I don't think I'm the oldest. Grandma Ruth thought she was and signed up under her current name. I popped her bubble, though.

I beat you by a couple of months (October) so you can still consider yourself a youngster.

There ant no place like Sussex until you goes Above,
But Sussex will be Sussex, and Sussex won't be druv.

Respect! I love it to see people who reached this age and who use the Internet! It's so cool because you don't see persons with 70-74 on the computer very often! !*th_up*!

I'm actually 14, but I'm turning fifteen in November so I went ahead and picked that range

54, but when I wake up and go to bed, I feel 94. I suppose I can blame that on too many years of the opposite of "good, clean living".

Tell me about it!!!!!! !!jabber!!
I'm now 65 and WISH I could go back and at least quite my wild and crazy days about 30 years sooner. I've been clean and sober now for about 10 years or so, but rest assured, the debt collector has come to collect.
I used to be able to get out of bed, shower, and out the door in 20 minutes. Now it takes me near that long just to get out of bed. ^**lylgh
