I will be 73 on my next birthday! Never had a birthday I didn't enjoy! I just celebrated the easing of the Covid restrictions by buying a new F150. Well, new to me, 2018 model year with 29K miles. Should last longer than me!

I was in Hawaii that same day. One of my early memories was the celebration of fireworks.

57, and I agree - most of you seem younger than your calendar age.

I’m 111,000 in binary....in some ways that number feels more accurate than it does in decimal, 56. But I know I’m still young-ish.

Hoping to retire at 3C hexadecimal...which is 60 decimal.

I was born in Honolulu 5 years before statehood. My birth certificate says Territory of Hawaii. Jeez, it makes me feel old to say that

Same here, but about 5 years younger.
Recently started using glasses for the fine print, hate them.

Check out one of their birth certificates, it's tiny, about 3"x4". Kapiolani hospital was where I got my start

54 1/2.... Still ski hard and can make a fast lap or two on an MX bike, but my ambition is going down and my body is not as limber as it once was. I wake up sore after a day of any kind of physical activity. Just hopping down off the tail gate of my truck can be a painful experience.

Getting old sucks!

Going on my 74th trip around the sun

Yep, as hard as you fight it, mother nature, genetics and age just takes its toll.

At 56 yrs old I still try do do the same stuff I did at 20. Unfortunately my body has an issue with that and imposes a penalty on me.... But, I will continue the fight!
