Poll question: How o-old are we? How o-old are we?...
Gimme a demographic picture of DU, or at least of Lounge Lizards. Offer random abuse in the form of replies to keep this kicked a while, please.

2. I will be 28 on the 27th...
So I will offer random abuse in the form of a <truly obnoxious hijack>:

If you want to wish me a happy birthday, I can think of a good place to send $28.27 (or $2.27 or $928.27, if you're so inclined)....click the "Join Us" link in my signature for more information....

:evilgrin:

19. Oh, for goodness sake, eyesroll!
That really went beyond the bounds of propriety!

BTW, I will be celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary on the 27th and, if you want to wish us a happy anniversary, I can think of a good place to send $19.27 (or $27.19 or $919.27 or $927.19 or $9,919 or $9,927) to http://www.democraticunderground.com/donate.html.

<truly obnoxious play to DU Admin)

Oh, yes, Happy 28th next Saturday :party: !

3. Thanks for reminding me that I am only fifteen
months away from turning the big 4-0! I'm still having a hard time believing I'm over 30, so that particular birthday should be interesting. To paraphrase Pete Seeger, where in the hell has all the time gone?

16. Wouldn't it be funny if I were Bruce Springsteen?
Edited on Tue Sep-23-03 10:25 AM by Iris
God, there are some days I would really love standing up in front of a crowd belting out songs like "Born in the USA"!

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

6. I'm thirty-four.
It has been said that thirty is the end of being young, and forty is the beginning of being old. What an awful prospect!

11. Nah.....not true
I'm 67 and not old yet. Age truly is just a state of mind. Heck I just went out the other day and bought a new bike and have been whizzing all over my neighborhood. My vacation this summer was camping(yes, in a tent)in the Sierra Nevada with lots of long hikes.
Stay active and you stay young. Maybe that is why I am here at DU. This is the most active bunch on the net.

15. No way!
That was probably said by a 25-year old!

Age REALLY is a state of mind.

So many people die at so many different ages, even children, even babies, even teens and so, I say, you are the age you FEEL.
