without giving it out, is there anyone on this forum who is embarrassed by his or her age? embarrassed enough to not want the rest of us to know?

Not me... I have spilled it many times on here 8-)8-)8-)

Not me. What's to be embarrased about? It's a fact and it doesn't make a bit of difference to me. I am what I am!

Not me-55 next b-day. I earned every year and grey hair. Ok, so I only have a few grey hairs.

wvdek - Right there with you! Mine happens in April how about yours?

Never ashamed of my age, I am as old as I am...some days I feel everyone of my years and then some, others I feel very young in spirit!

why do you ask? ...and no, age is one of those irrefutable facts of life. I'd rather be whatever age I am than entertaining the alternative.

let me rephrase the question: is there anyone here who is willing to announce hers or his age out loud? i'm not embarrassed to begin. 66 years old and loving every minute.

43

It ain't the years that are important, it's the mileage.

nope. it's where those miles have taken you.

70 here

Oh well I might as well tell the world, 61, everyone at work knows and it's the head and the heart that will always be young...age only counts when I hurt.

I will be 34 in May! I have enjoyed my 30's more than my 20's

HENRY!! i haven't heard from you in such a long time. where've you been?
have you been lurking?

Yes I have been lurking around. So many things to do so little time....LOL :)

I'm 57. I told my sister today when I called her for her BD, "I'm still 5 years younger than you.":lol:
OBTW when our younger sis turned 50 she sent sympathy cards to us as our baby sister was now a half century old and the rest of us even older.
Having a sense of humor keeps us all young :thumbup:

I was 75 last August and didn't start making quilts until 3 years ago from last September... loving it... mainly community quilts. You are never too old to learn anything at all...

Yipee. I'm 57 too and I love it. I've earned every gray hair and all my aches and pains and life is still wonderful. I have great kids and a wonderful DGD. Life is good.

I will be 52 January 10th and very grateful to still be breathing and creating. I wouldn't trade anything for my life or my gray hair, I've earned and learned with every day.

No. I'm 54 55 in May... Cinco deMayo ! yep that's my bd :D

48 and worked darned hard for it. THAT SAID, I went to the thrift store three days ago. I picked up two little books $1.00.. the woman said oh today is Senior day so you save... I was speechless.. I don't hesitate to say I am as old as dirt but when you look oh 20 yrs older than you are.. sigh.. to come home relate the tale to my dear one who laughed went out and got the mail. Tossed it on the table and waited. A letter from AARP for me. So no I dont mind my age, it doesnt mind me. I do and would rather live and EARN each additional year vs be gifted it in doses!

62 and loving retirement. I'm a red head, no gray hair, except a few that peek out between dye jobs.

I am more than happy to say my age 47 in April. I am lucky to have survived a massive heart attack at 36 years old. My children were only 7 and 7 months old. I am just grateful and blessed to be able to grow old with my husband and two children.
Cheers Jakcie.

I just turned 55 in Nov., sometimes I feel very old and then other days I feel like a teenager.

I have learned a lot throughout these past years, wouldn't change that if I could.

I'll be 49 tomorrow (Monday)! :D

41 and I feel like such a baby here. I am not ashamed.

58 and after having breast cancer at ages 35 and 51, I'm very happy to be this age. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance017.gif

Born in '57 a good year. :)

me too, lol ;)

Not ashamed to say it here (I'm 50), but I decided to stop being so open about it at work (when I'm working again) because a couple of years ago when I was 47 - 48, it scared some of my younger co-workers. They'd been treating me as a peer (which I wanted - as in, hey, we're all adults here) and it unnerved them to realize I was old enough (or almost, in the case of the early thirtysomethings) to be their mother. Teens all think I'm a senior citizen, though, so go figure.

happy to be alive and 47 wonderful years have passed..consider myself to have had 42 years 'extra' as got hit by a car and almost died when i was 5 so every year after that is a bonus!!

Happy Birthday to the both of you!

OK People don't hurt me...but Im 26, Ive been married for 7 years this spring, and have a 3 year old dd, and 2 year old ds.

oh and quilting for 4 years...getting better every quilt :)

I'm 50 and proud of it! My children are all grown and now I have time for me!!!! :)

I am 53 and don't have a clue how I got to be this old. :wink:

I'm 59 and glad to be here.

I'm 28.
I realise that I'm one of the younger people on this forum, but honestly I think it so cool that there are older folks who are just as computer savvy and up to date with technology to be able to keep up with the younger generation.
My grandmother could barely work a remote control for the TV, nevermind telling it apart from the one for the VCR. I guess I automatically assume that older people can't be bothered to keep up with technology and I was pleasantly surprised to find how many people here are of that generation and just as capable as the rest, and with more experience on the subject at hand than I!

43 with two girls 18( lives with me) and 23(married) - feel way young to have kids that age. My oldest is talking about having a baby. I don't know if I am ready for Grandma yet!

Nope, we're glad you're here!

You, too, Baren*eh*ked Canadian!
