Being 52 means feeling 35 at some times and 65 at others. :wow:

sylens - 7-23-2008 at 01:22 PM

59 in december, so next year i'll be 60 :spingrin:

feel about 58 most of the time, sometimes 35 and occasionally 70.

Cypress - 7-23-2008 at 01:26 PM

62 on my next birth date.

There're a bunch of old geezers on this forum.

Well...

DianaT - 7-23-2008 at 02:37 PM

Sixty-two in September and for the first time, happy about being another year older----it means we get a raise in income. Social Security, here I come! :yes:

Well, actually every birthday is worth celebrating just because we made another birthday.

Diane

comitan - 7-23-2008 at 02:41 PM

well here i go 76 in two weeks feeling like someone else s 58 because when I was 58 I felt like 42. My wife says she's 40-33 need I say more, she's young I guess its all the 5gal water jugs she carries.

Full steam ahead

Lee - 7-23-2008 at 02:44 PM

61 years 7 months 22 days -- keeps getting better.

61 here

Skipjack Joe - 7-23-2008 at 02:48 PM

Christ, we're all alike!

Why is that? That can't be a coincidence.

cabobaja - 7-23-2008 at 03:02 PM

60 in January. After a day at the beach with my 5 & 10 year old boys.....I feel 80!

Taco de Baja - 7-23-2008 at 03:07 PM

42. Been going to Baja for most of that time, heck I was probably there when my mom was pregnant with me.... :lol:

Nice bell shaped cuvre.

Older that Comitan!!! 77 years May 17th, went into Surgery May 28th, Doctor told me he would add 20 years to my Life.! I am feeling like I was 92{Mentally} until Comitan told me that "It will get better'! That I will be able to pull in a 50 Lb Yellowtail.

I've been nursing a stereotype, and just wanted to see if it might have merit.

I'll go first; 51 in a month, still a Virgo.

Looks like about 75% of us are over 50 (I'm 64). That sure explains all the cranky posts recently with so many suggestions about how Mexico needs to change. Personally I'm not buying into that crap. I enjoyed Baja when I first went there 34 years ago and enjoy it still. I hope to be riding my old KLR650 around the back country for years to come, I'm showing my optimism right now by doing another engine rebuild on that 17 year old machine as well as putting a second rebuilt engine in reserve. Should keep me going till I'm 80 or so. For the record, in those 34 years of Baja travel I have had nothing stolen from me, never paid a mordida and only one traffic ticket. Been shot at but never in Mexico.

dtbushpilot - 7-23-2008 at 03:55 PM

54 but my beautiful wife makes me feel like 34.
and we both love Baja just how it is.

At 52 I am older than I once was, but younger than I will ever be.

I'm older than dirt!

SIXTY-ONE LAST MONTH

Less than 60 posts so far, but I can see the trend is going toward the 60+
since the majority of frequent posters are above 50 and we have not stopped counting yet.
This poll assumes we are all telling the truth :spingrin:

Gypsy Jan - 7-23-2008 at 06:13 PM

You can probably make a well-educated estimate.

But. since you are asking in person, my answer is 29.

[Edited on 7-24-2008 by Gypsy Jan]

DanO - 7-23-2008 at 06:15 PM

47, but with the emotional maturity of a 17-year old, if I'm lucky. You would think that those 30 years in between would have led to better judgment, but all they did was enable me to make bad decisions in a much more educated and experienced fashion.

Udo - 7-23-2008 at 06:48 PM

It only takes 5 extra seconds to vote after you look.

Bajagypsy - 7-23-2008 at 07:20 PM

I took the poll, I'm one of the 4.29%!!! Yup the ripe old age of 37!!! :lol:

Oso - 7-23-2008 at 07:27 PM

Ay que bola de pedos viejos! Grover, you're obviously into something here. I'm 63, the first wave to get screwed out of a year of SS. I''ll have to wait till 66 to apply for full benefits.

bigeye - 7-23-2008 at 07:45 PM

37, but I feel 26 almost every day.

Paula - 7-23-2008 at 07:59 PM

OK fine. I'm 63, and next you'll be asking how much we all weigh! :lol:

And I'm not telling!!!

When I turned 50 I figured I was half way through my life, and now I think that with luck I'll get another 20 or so. I think that means I've misplaced 17 of my years

So if anyone sees some stray years lying around on a beach or in the mountains they belong to me. Please send them to me in Loreto.

Wow! Surprisingly, I'm the only one in my 20's and Asian (I'll bet I'm also the only Asian on this board) so I look even younger. If you see a younger Asian out on a run in Ensenada, that's probably me.

Oh, I finally made it to Fenix 2 weeks ago.
...hands down. That's all I gotta say.
I was the only non-Mexican there too. Big surprise.

Edited out my exact age

Lets just say late 20's.

Al G - 7-23-2008 at 08:56 PM

At 63-64 life is good and is getting better everyday. I think there is a better way to live life...(been around the Internet awhile but)
I want to live my next life backwards:

You start out dead and get that out of the way.

Then you wake up in a nursing home feeling better every day. Then you get
kicked out for being too healthy.

Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension.

Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work
40 years until you're too young to work.

You get ready for High School, drink alcohol, party, and you're generally
obnoxious.

Then you go to elementary school, you become a kid, you play, and you have
no responsibilities.

Then you become a baby, and then......... You spend your last 9 months
floating peacefully in luxury,

in Spa-like conditions - central heating, room service on tap, and
then............. You finish off as an orgasm.

I rest my case

Bajabus - 7-23-2008 at 09:35 PM

50......but not for long.

Exactly the same...........

All right, so I'm half way through the 60's, but I'm always shocked and surprised to find I'm not 24...actually, I think it's better to tell people I'm older than I am, so they'll say "wow, I can't believe it, you are in great shape for 70"!

DianaT - 7-24-2008 at 12:21 PM

Now, all of us are really one year older than we think---maybe.

A good friend always likes to point out that when one turns a certain age, like 50, they really are beginning their 51st year and in some cultures would be considered 51, not 50. :lol:

Hi Bernie...

Pompano - 7-24-2008 at 03:04 PM

Hey, being a little older isn't so terrible. It means you could be released earlier in a hostage situation.

I come up with a funny one every once in a while.

Problem is that linguinelinguine can recite all my best jokes. She still laughs though. Must be why we've been married for so long.

Reminds me of one of my best jokes when someone asks:

"How long have you two been married?"

Gazing lovingly into wife's eyes, "Seems like 20 minutes ..................... under water."

Bajafun777 - 7-25-2008 at 01:43 AM

Well currently now the Nickle Nickle age but I hope that my next 20 are just half as exciting as my first 55 were. I have done some things that were fun and very close to being trouble and then did them again just to see if they really were as fun as I first thought. Just love seeing how close the line in fun is to 'the what the hell did I drink to make my body treat me so badly after I just laid down for some peace and quiet!!!!!" Later----bajafun777
