How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?

~Satchel Paige


I just saw this quote and thought I would throw it out here -

What would you say?

Sloan Quinn 12-15-2010 08:18 AM

In terms of how old I feel, or how old I look?

I guess that I was thinking of the difference in how old you feel mentally and how old you feel physically.

Sloan Quinn 12-15-2010 08:27 AM

Mentally, I'd say around 25/26. Physically, I don't even want to talk about it.

BTW, I'm 22. Sad state of affairs when I've got just as many aches and pains as the 60+ yr old ladies I work with.

sueisallaboutquilts 12-15-2010 08:31 AM

A lot younger than I am, I'd say around 30 maybe :D:D
I even look in the mirror and think I look like I always did but I know my mirror is a magic one b/c nobody else thinks so lol
But my bod is not like it used to be. Normal wear and tear, nothing to complain about!

About 34.....I am 64, and my body thinks it's at least 84!

bearisgray 12-15-2010 08:49 AM

two going on 90

JulieM 12-15-2010 08:58 AM

Hmm I would say 24-26.

cjomomma 12-15-2010 09:04 AM

Right now I feel 60 physically and 75 mentally. When I start playing with Elijah I will feel like I am 4 again both physically and mentally. BTW I am 42 gonna be 43 in a couple of weeks. When I look in the mirror I look and feel old.

quiltsRfun 12-15-2010 09:06 AM

Some days 102, some days 18.

redkimba 12-15-2010 09:15 AM

Most of the times I feel at least 2 years younger than I am; sometimes I act 5-10 years younger, BUT most of the time I act like I'm 10 years older.

(btw - I have passed the Rubicon of 40...)

grammiepamie 12-15-2010 09:40 AM

My brain thinks 20's but my body knows I am 65 and somedays it tells me how I/m going to feel at 80 should I live that long.

Somewhere around 38, think that was when I was at my best weight, health and level of activity. May in Jersey

amma 12-15-2010 11:48 AM

Mentally I am in my 20's, much to the dismay of my 20 something children... but my grands love it :D:D:D

Aully 12-15-2010 12:31 PM

I am 23 but feel like I am senior already 60 maybe. lol! I get made fun of all the time because I enjoy quilting, everyone says to me it is for senior's. lol!

Sloan Quinn 12-15-2010 01:26 PM

Don't listen to 'em! They don't know nuthin! Lol! I'm a year younger than you, and I enjoy crafts of just about every kind, so whoever says that to you is just crazy.

Kooklabell 12-15-2010 02:03 PM

I'm 55 chronologically, but mentally 25. I thinks its from working with freshman college students for all these years. And of course when I play with the kids, I'm 3 again. :)

vjengels 12-15-2010 02:04 PM

Oh ! Just ask anyone that knows me! ... I'm a 12 year old boy!

Cyn 12-15-2010 05:11 PM

30 but I'm 51.

Lady Tapioca 12-15-2010 05:25 PM

I usually feel 20-25 years younger than I am......always surprises me
when I'm asked my age and have to face reality!

DawnMarie 12-15-2010 06:33 PM

Tomorrow, I'll be 29 1/2. I think I'll stay that age forever....

annyroony2 12-16-2010 12:43 PM

My MIL told me one time that she felt 16 until she looked in the mirror, and I thought she was crazy! Now I know what she meant.

auntmag 12-16-2010 02:40 PM

I feel like 50, but look like my actual age.

DeneK 12-16-2010 03:42 PM

I am 66 -- but have "finally" agreed that my mental age is mid 40's. Hey, at least I graduated from the 30's.

I read a book once when I was young and the woman decided on her birthday that she wanted to be 32 and was going to just stay 32. I was a lot younger then and now I will stay with her at 32. I am older and I think 32 is a beautiful number.
