I'm still a young whippersnapper at 59 - will be 60 next April, if I survive the BushCo junta that long.

:shrug:

16. Hey TahitiNut, you won't remember this, but --

you answered a question I asked in one of my very first posts on DU a long time ago. It was such a great answer, funny and thoughtful. I was hooked on DU from that moment.

Anyway, I'm 61, as long as we're talking about it.

[TahitiNut]

23. Gee... I must've been having a good day.

:evilgrin: "Even a blind chipmunk turns up an acorn once in a while."

More seriously ... Thanks for the kind words. :hi:

[trof]

21. 64 Welcome to DU.

:hi:

[FlaGranny]

22. There was a poll a couple of days ago.

I can't remember the exact numbers, but 40s and 50s are the most prevalent, and then 60s and 70s came next. This is not a board of "kiddies."

By the way, I am 65.

[newswolf56]

24. 65 here.

[Window]

25. I'm 60 years old.

26. Also, a belated welcome to DU!

From the tone of the discussions I've been involved in, I believe there is remarkable age diversity here, though I think the young'uns tend to be on more during daylight hours (probably because -- as was surely true of me in my youth -- they have more compelling things to do after dark), while we elders tend more to be on late at night. Just an impression though; nothing scientific to back it up.
