All DUers check in ---- how old are you?

[expatriot]

Poll question: All DUers check in ---- how old are you?

The poll on the most enjoyable period of your life made me think about what exactly is the age demographic bell curve on DU. It defintely looks like upper 20's and 30's got the most responses in that poll. How old are you, DU?

[progmom]

1. 33

[ClintonTyree]

13. Age discriminate poll.........

your intervals for younger people are 5 years, then when you get past 50 there are only 2 categories. AGE DISCRIMINATION, AGE DISCRIMINATION! :sarcasm:

[expatriot]

18. if I knew how old some of you were I'd have put

the options in like 36 font, gramps! :)

the upper 20's and 30's DUers are not the most represented age group in DU... they are just the most chatty.

The answer is true!

I'm placing a small blue "A" next to your name in the ledger under this morning's date.

[Redstone]

20. Early fifties, if I remember right.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

81. Hi there, my dear Redstone!

And you are still one extremely good-looking gentleman! I actually prefer how you look now to how you looked when you were young...Something very sexy about a well-muscled, confidently masculine man that I find very appealing...And you've got it...in spades. I know, this is the wrong thread for this; too bad!

:blush:

[Redstone]

86. It's never the wrong thread to pay me a compliment in;

compliments make me feel good not matter the location!

Thank you, Miss Peggy, as usual...you're a peach, because you always know how to make everyone feel better about themselves.

We need more of you, not just at DU, but everywhere.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

92. Blessings on you, my dear Redstone!

Now I'm blushing...:blush:

[In_The_Wind]

21. old enough to know better

but I'm still too young to care

:woohoo:

[expatriot]

24. Im going to work now, keep this baby kicked for the evening crowd.

that should help the younger folks catch up since people will be getting off of work and gramps here will be going to bed before the sun sets.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. I'm 61, and proud of it, damn it!

I feel great, look, well, OK, and I LOVE my life! So there...lol I can sass and talk with the best of them...

Today, I'm in what my husband calls my "Peg the conquerer" mood...

[ghostsofgiants]

29. That's what matters

I hope I have that kind of outlook when I hit my 60s.

[Seabiscuit]

77. I'm 60 and damned proud of it!

I can't wait 'till I turn 61!!!

So nice to see we're in good company here - 11 of us 60 plusers have checked in already!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

78. Hi, Seabiscuit! Welcome to the 60plus club!

Another SoCal Du'er, hey....How are things in San Diego? Which month is your birthday? Mine will be November...

[Seabiscuit]

80. I turned 60 this May 2nd. San Diego is warm and sunny, mostly.

A few clouds in the morning. Last week's heat wave is gone.

What part of SoCal are you in?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

82. I'm north of you; Manhattan Beach...

A very pretty part of the world..here we are!

[Seabiscuit]

94. Lucky you! We lived in Playa Del Rey 1997-2001 and spent a lot of time

at Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach. Beautiful coastal areas.

I just noticed we picked up 2 more 60 plusers since I last posted in this thread.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

110. These areas are gorgeous, IMHO!

BTW, how do you like the pic? I took it in Jan of this year...got lucky with the foamy waves and that little rainbow.

[Seabiscuit]

114. Great pic! Somehow you captured a perfect wave.

Movies have been filmed at that pier. One with Michael Douglas (final scenes) comes to mind.

[TahitiNut]

103. Me, too ... for another 20 days, at least.

111. Happy Early Birthday, TahitiNut! nt

I've seen your pix and thought oh, mid forties?

You go, girl!

Mid forties, omigod...THANK YOU...You just made my day, again. What a love fest we have going on here...

You are the BEST...:loveya:

Edit to add: Sorry to be so slow on the uptake...I don't always review my posts back this far, so I missed you yesterday...

31. And how many of us would want to be 14 again?

[Shrubhater]

32. 13 and 14 are generally turbulent ages.

Of course, I'm probably the youngest one here!! Although I'm still more nieve than anyone here, because I often get confused with some posts.

[uppityperson]

144. 50 and I get confused on some posts too

Don't worry, some posts are confusing. Keep checking in. I would never ever ever be a teenager again. I like being 50, may finally be taken seriously and can act like a young twit anyway.

[Ladyhawk]

109. 37...trying to forget I have a birthday in August. :D

I'm sort of sensitive about my age.

[The_Mule]

197. What a coincidence!

37 and birthday in August here, too! 15th for me. 1967 - Summer of Love.

I was a bit bummed out last year 'cause I can't with a good conscience say "mid-30s" anymore. This year, who cares! I'm used to late-30s now.

[khashka]

192. Oh my god

You are actually younger than me and I thought you were older and wiser.

Khash.

[Nay]

37. Old bag. 54. Too old to have to live through this asshole's 2

terms in office.

[khashka]

194. Really? I'm amazed.

Sometimes I think you're a really amazing 17 year old or a really cool 50 year old. I'm shocked! We're like contemporaries or something!

My cute little sundoggie is an adult!

[terrya]

42. 49 here.

Dear god...one more year until...

:scared:

[xmas74]

44. 30.

[Miami Liberal]

48. Ditto

[xmas74]

49. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

How about you?

[Miami Liberal]

51. It's worse than I thought...

I'm kidding, I still feel like I'm 25. I think I'll have a harder time when I reach 40. :)

[xmas74]

52. I've heard that 40 isn't too bad.

But 30 really scared me for awhile there.

[Miami Liberal]

53. 30 used to scare the hell out of me too

when I was in my early 20's. Maybe when I start approaching 40 I'll have a different view about it. At least, I hope I will.

Isn't 40 the new 30? :7

[xmas74]

57. That's what they say.

So I don't think 40 will be so bad.

[Jane Austin]

108. Thirty, forty and fifty are great!

So quitcherbitchin!

I'm not far enough into sixty to be sure, yet, but so far so good.

[xmas74]

116. 30 feels so rushed.

And I feel like I have no time to myself. Actually, posting on here is about the only time that I have to myself. Everything else is for my child. When I am forty she will be a teenager and I might have an actual spare moment to myself. At least I will be able to go to the bathroom alone by then!

[Jane Austin]

123. You are so right. I can hardly remember my thirties,

they went by so fast.

If you can stay healthy, things only get better.

[xmas74]

129. That's what I'm hoping for.

I have a soon-to-be five year old (on the 17th). My life revolves around her. Plus, I am one of those hands-on parents so I show up to every school board meeting (starting doing this last year because I knew she would be attending in this district), volunteer for everything in her school and out in the community along w/ the political and issue groups that I belong to.
Of course, we also have our sports, church and such. So it seems like life never slows down even for five seconds.
Forty has to be better.

[Left Is Write]

286. My thirties have sped right by too.

I'm looking at 39 shortly here, wondering how it all went so fast.

But I know how it went so fast - marriage and kids! :D

[tigereye]

63. 30 was worse than 40

for me, anyway.

[xmas74]

75. That's what I keep hearing.

Right now everything seems so rushed. I heard that at 40 you feel like you have the right to slow down just a little bit.
Actually, I have heard that 50 is fabulous. I have a friend who turned 50 a couple of years ago and she is having the time of her life.

[Seabiscuit]

99. I've heard that 90 is the best age - you really believe you're still 25.

And no one can convince you otherwise because you can't hear them.

[expatriot]

124. now that's funny. I like that nt

[Shrubhater]

163. Did they ever prove that stereotype?

[Seabiscuit]

167. Nah, it's not even a stereotype - just a joke.

[tigereye]

139. I think

that at 40 you know yourself well, you are often settled with family and/or career and you have time to really enjoy things. It also seems to be a "sensual" time for many women! I like myself better than ever and appreciate what I am and what I have accomplished. I would recommend the 40s unequivocally. :)

[Left Is Write]

288. I loved turning thirty. I felt simultaneously empowered and liberated

by it. Liberated, I suppose, because I was able to stop the dreaded anticipation of it. Empowered because I finally felt as though the world would take me seriously.

I'm almost 39 now, and I still have young children (three and five), AND I have one who will be 18 in less than two weeks.

[expatriot]

318. i don't know how i feel about turning 30 (in one and a half years).....

i need to look at it the way you did.

I was born in 1962, what year is it again? I still feel like it should be 1989 with Jesse Jackson being sworn in as President. "If I could turn back time ..."

[Shrubhater]

90. I'll be 50 a week from this Friday

Half a century. Geez, where did the time go? It went so quickly! :shrug:

[Shrubhater]

306. I know I didn't lose the time,

I just put it someplace I don't know about.

[khashka]

91. I am 36

and I'll kill anyone who says differently.

Khash.

[tjwmason]

121. Not trying to get you to kill me or anything

But that does surprise me - I would have knocked a few years off that.

[khashka]

183. Yeah well add a few years and you'll be closer.

I admit to 36 but I'm really 39. But I look younger - I still need my driver's licence, passport, and a note from my mom just to buy a pack of fags.

So when I actually do start to show my age it's gonna be a disaster. Picture of Dorian Gray time.

You on the other hand will age beautifully. Good bone structure, colouring, skin. At 70 you'll look as good as you do now. And those eyebrows! I swear to god you have the all time sexiest eyebrows.....

Oops sorry, I'll keep your eyebrows to myself. So to speak.

[expatriot]

126. you seem to be on the extremely young end of the spectrum here

I can't get over how gray DU apparently is.

[MadisonProgressive]

277. It's the people that have seen the much better days

and always had hope for the future that are the most pissed off. It makes total sense to me that older people would be more concerned. We are concerned for ourselves as social security is attacked, and our children and grandchildren, who we always thought would have as good a life or better than ours. Younger people simply don't have the perspective that the 50+ generations have.

[Lowell]

127. Rapidly approaching 60

It just gets better. No hair to comb, no teeth to brush and can't hear without help. Now if I could just remember where I left my skateboard . . .

[Up2Late]

263. Clay wheels or Urethane?

Sounds like the Guy who wrote that new movie, "Lords of Dog Town" must be in his 50's, because he talked about his first Skate Boards having Clay wheels.

[Magrittes Pipe]

128. I am thirty, and I am beautiful.

[expatriot]

130. I am getting scared of 30... less than 2 years away. nt

[Left Is Write]

189. Why are so many people afraid of thirty? I *loved* being 30!

Thirty is a great age.

[Seabiscuit]

132. As of this posting it appears this bell curve has a different demographic.

233 posters identified themselves in the poll as 40+

156 posters identified themselves in the poll as under 40.

Therefore the 40+ posters outnumber the under 40 posters 3 to 2.

Color me surprised.

[expatriot]

133. Yes, I was very naive yesterday when I used the word "bellcurve"

I thought the majority of DUers would be in their 30's with the standard deviation's being in the 20's and late 40's. I had no idea the predominence of boomers here on DU

[Seabiscuit]

134. The average age appears to be about 43.

And 27% are 50+!

[expatriot]

135. I really wish I would have divided the 50-59

into 50-54 and 50-59 and combined 0-12 and 13-18 into 0-18.

[Seabiscuit]

136. The division of 50-59 into 2 groups might have shown interesting results.

It could be bottom heavy or top heavy.

OTOH, the 0-18 group only comprises 4%, which as a sample isn't particularly significant statistically.

[In_The_Wind]

247. you may add this number and recalculate if you wish

I'll be 56 until :party: August 24th.

[tblue37]

283. I will be 55 in August.

236. Yeah, how did DU get so damn old?

This so does not help my chances to meet single Democratic women. ha :)

138. So what's happening in Chicago this weekend, StaggerLee?

[StaggerLee]

143. Well from what helpful DUers have told me

There are two concerts going on. Interpol/Queens of the Stone Age and Kraftwerk.

I'm definitely going to the first one. This will be my first time to Chicago and I am very excited.

I'm also going to visit museums, art galleries and other exhibits.

(and a White Sox game if I can fit it in)

[in_cog_ni_to]

153. Chicago is a BEAUTIFUL city and

there's so much to see and do! Be sure to visit Navy Pier and the new Millennium Park. You'll get to see the monstrosity, the flying saucer Soldier Field too. :( They ruined it, IMCPO.

Have a GREAT time! Chicago is the best "Big City" I've ever visited. :hi:

[StaggerLee]

155. Will do!

I'm going to get as much in as possible. I've got plenty of memory for my camera and I'll buy another card if I have to!

A friend at work told me that New Millennium Park is definitely a must see.

Thanks! :hi:

[Up2Late]

266. You have any pictures of the "New" Soldier Field?

I've only seen what they show during Football games.:shrug:

[Seabiscuit]

166. What, the Cubbies are out of town??? :)

Have a great time.

I've never been to Chicago either beyond a stopover at O'Hare.

[StaggerLee]

169. Yep they're on the road

I really wanted to visit that shrine.

Rats.

Well maybe next time. :)

[Seabiscuit]

[alarimer]

158. thanks

when I consider the alternative to having birthdays is not having them, things don't seem so bad. Actually things are going okay for me right now so I don't feel bad.

[hiley]

170. alarimer it just is an adjustment

sometimes, I have had them. Oh, when I turned 30 it was awful. Thought damn, it is over now !
Now I am happy to have another birthday because my health is atrocious and then I realized there is so much that I want to do especially having to do with bush / pnac / war , well you get the idea.
Have a nice evening and enjoy yourself, relax. Here are some roses for you. Happy Birthday !
I hope you have many, many more birthdays !

[Seabiscuit]

187. That's why I'm not waiting until I'm 67 to cash in - there may not be

anything left. I don't like having to receive a lesser monthly amount beginning at 62, but * isn't giving me any choice in the matter. Friggin' bastid!!!

Fortunately, I can begin receiving it in May, 2007 before he totally bankrupts the system.

[EnfantTerrible]

195. kick

cause I'm curious now about the demographic breakdown.

[Seabiscuit]

199. The demographic breakdown has remained pretty constant.

There are more than twice the number of votes when I first made note of it but the results haven't really changed:

Those 40+ outnumber those under 40 about 3 to 2.

27% are still 50+.

6% are still 60+

4% are still 0-18.

[expatriot]

June 11, as I recall. 45, gad.

And I felt every bit of it last week, trying to keep up with 20ish "kids" on the basketball court on the Norwegian Star cruiseship. To think I used to dismiss halfcourt hoops games as wimps only.

turning 16 in august.

[expatriot]

253. the power is yours, mass liberal....

i know i for one envy you teenagers on DU... when I was 15 I had my head so far up my *** that although I was current on current events my political identity was so nebulous I didn't know up from down.

Do you have any friends (in the real world, not online friends) that are political? Because then I would envy you even more. As politically undeveloped as I was at the age of 16, I was the most political kid in high school.

[u4ic]

255. 38....will be 39 at the end of August

Isn't it great to see how many young people are on DU? :bounce:

257. Why not 60-64, 65-69, 70-74,75-79 etc. instead of 60+? n/t

[expatriot]

258. Only 10 poll options available... I created the poll thinking there was

younger demographic, as you can see in some of my earlier posts I seriously regret not combining the 0-12 and 13-18 into one category and dividing 50-59 into 50-54 and 55-59 or maybe 55-64 and then having a 65+

[mbperrin]

261. 53!

Probly only got about a hunnerd more to go.....

That'll be sad, because mostly, life is quite beautiful.

[loudsue]

264. 55 here....I love it that we have 29 members under 18!!!

267. you fifty-somethings apparently DOMINATE though.... nt

[expatriot]

269. oops... forty-somethings dominate.... i forgot for a second that

i made the mistake of lumping all tbe fifties into one option. If I knew there were so many of you I'd have lumped 0-18 together and divided the fifties into two groups. (only 10 options available in polls).

[KaliTracy]

268. today I'm 39.... in a month I'll hit 40. what I want to know

One of 41 old farts checking in.

Just imagine - we were studying physics before most people here were a gleam in their fathers' eyes! We lived through 1,000 glorious days of JFK's administration! We had friends who died in Vietnam. We protested in the streets and in the media. We created a "counterculture" which lives on today.
