17, and will be 18 in a few months.
And to those who mentioned the Gaussian nature of this poll, the 25-40 group has the largest number of numbers to choose from, so logic would dictate it to be the largest group.
New thought though, if I continue down that logic, my own age group of 18- should have more people(but you have to admit that there's probably 0 people in the 0-10 age group).
In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.-Thoreau

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('bobeau', 'A') couple weeks ago, to my surprise, I talked to an ex-girlfriend who knows about PO and actively reads this forum. I'm 29, she's 28. Frrom the quality of discussions I tend to assume the average PO.com reader/poster is quite a bit older. So, um, make me not assume so much :)


Sounds like a re-kindling if I ever heard of one!

Good luck Bobeau!

The look is because there's no sun in Ireland to age the skin.

I can't account for the immaturity, though.

A little baby son, that's real nice JM. Make sure you don't have pennies or coins on the floor when he starts crawling. My son got one stuck in his throat and came in to me looking bad and worried. Scared the shit out of me. I turned him upsided and it dislodged. If he's fed and dry in the night but still crying, you can put on some classical music and jiggle him around on your knees. I used to do that and it put him right to sleep. I wouldn't let grandma have all the fun. Your influence on your boy will never be greater than in these next few years. (maybe you could tape record his baby talk and play it backwards just as an experiment :-D )

36... For years I thought I'd been born after all the interesting world-changing stuff was done - Woodstock, Moon landings, Vietnam, TV, etc.

Compared to the 60's, the 70's 80's 90's all seemed so 'more of the same' - sure, hard drives got smaller and bigger simultaneously, the Internet exploded, and phone's went wherever; but that was about it really.

Now, is some guilty way, I am pleased that it looks like I am probably going to live through some extremely significant, interesting and challenging times.

Hmmm

Bump.... bump. Nice find dino. A groovy little bump for the new ones....


Holy toledo! How time flies! Now I'm 54 in a few weeks!! And what you see here may very well be somewhere around the last time I used a swear word anywhere. I knew it was around then when I pulled the plug on that silliness.


A bit of personal as well as PO.com history right before your very eyes. :)

Dude, you're just 37? I wouldn't have thought that.

You've spent your 37 years well, no matter what anyone else might tell you.
