POL TB2K age metrics

[Swampdweller]

I’ll be 67 years young tomorrow.

 

[Barb]

I just turned 80.

 

[Mtsilverback]

I 'm 69 and still work a full schedule. However, I grow very weary of the crap.

 

[Dennis Olson]

 

[Cohickman]

I’ll bet there is no one under 20.

My kids, 19 and 17, don't have a membership here, BUT they ask me what the latest news from the site is almost daily.
But yeah NOT many youngsters around here.
Sad. It will be mostly up to us.

Repopulating the Earth after the WEF is finished?

 

[briches]

51 for me.
I’ve been here 21 years.

 

[Jaybird]

49 and 3/4.

 

[Kris Gandillon]

who is the most senior member here at timebomb

I am in the top three I am pretty sure. December of 1997. Ed Yourdon, the founder, reached out to me. I had taken many of his software development courses over the years.

 

[Ordinary Girl]

I’m 50.

 

[Breeta]

I’m 48. Member here since I was 30! Lurked before that! Someone over at the old Syzygyjob site (Jim Berkland earthquake) posted a link here for somethin prior to Y2k, IIRC.

It sucks getting older.
I went to the urgent care on monday for high blood pressure. 229/117 (and the doctor said I was fine to wait 3 hours so back in the waiting room with the coughing sickos I went).
Anyway. The triage nurse asked if I was still menstruating. !!! I looked at her like she had 2 heads for about 15 seconds until it dawned on me what she was asking. Wow I didn’t realize how old I was getting! Guess I’m going to be heading into a new phase of life soon.

 

[Cacheman]

Was I really in my thirties when I first found this site in the late 1990's? My gosh the time has flown by. I think it must have been two decades till I joined and now two of my 20 something sons lurk. It's rather amazing a website can span two generations.

 

[onmyown30]

I knew I was on the young side!! Y’all were my age now when I found this place!! I can only hope in 20+ yrs I’ll be on the other end…… we need to get some younger crowds in here lol

 

[Firebird]

We do need younger members, or YB2K will die off with us older members

 

[stormie]

This thread caused a light bulb of realization to go off in my pea brain today. I'm now closer to age 70 than 60! Oh my gosh. How did it go by so fast?

 

[Lone_Hawk]

My son is on here also, but a busy life and raising two boys keeps him busy, he is my youngest at 38. I just turned 64

 

[oops]

LOL...I can honest blame Dennis...followed him n...Anita?..I think it was ...from a different board to here back in the late 90s...used to roll laughin at the "city slickers tryin to learn to live like country hicks" like me...spent many a hour laughin to the point of tears...especially...Russ?...or whoever...was settin up a homestead n the others showed up to help...the hours I spent laughin with tears streamin... sayin oh lordydord...they DIDN'T...groan...they did...LOL...

 

[kenny1659]

I'm not old, I have just had an exceptional number of birthdays.

 

[Great Northwet]

I lurked here starting around Y2k. Joined in 2004 and now in the 60 club earlier this year. This is a great place to hang my hat.

 

[greenhart]

GGK here. ----->8/17/35 It's not ok to wish me a happy birth day 'cause of thread drift.

1935 was a good year for wine too. I am a few days older than you.

 

[Gitche Gumee Kid]

Hi greenhart. Yes, it was a good year. Thanks for the reply to my post. Were you any where near the recent KY floods?

GGK

As Little Feat said "You know that you're over the hill when your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill".

 

[greysage]

I don't know my age in metric.

 

[ainitfunny]

we have done this one before a few times, if i recall.

i'll answer the way i always do.

i'm old enough to know better, but young enough to still try.

MY Mother (I'm 77) used to say "I'm old enough to know better, but too young to resist!".

 

[FireDance]

Sorry. There IS no time so I refuse to answer a bogus question.

 

[JeanCat]

I guess I am just a Younker at75. Of those that posted their age I am about 3rd or 4th oldest. (So far)

 

[helen]

Miss Irene (OAD) is one of them, but she's not active anymore. She's in her late 80's, I believe. I miss her!
We have lost way too many of our older members in the past few years.

She passed.

 

[packyderms_wife]

I did an age poll here a while ago, mayb3 seven or more year# ago. It’ll be interesting to do a comparison of th3 two polls.

 

[Walrus]

I’ll be 67 years young tomorrow.

Happy Birthday tomorrow from a birthday boy today!

 

[packyderms_wife]

She passed.

When did OAD pass?

 

[packyderms_wife]

Here was our age profile in 2010:

Link to that thread?

 

[jward]

Around here we used to giggle (kindly o' course!) at those who were coy about their ages, but I'll be darned if I didn't hear myself just a while back claiming I shouldn't make a career change in my own "late middle ages" :: rolls eyes at self :: That may indeed be a time in HISTORY, but taint in the human lifespan, we decided. So, I was tickled to see that by this poll, at least, I am indeed exactly in the middle of the middle column, so theoretically, haven't even hit "late" yet. THANK YOU!

Anyway, been around a long time myself, and try to never let a chance to acknowledge the great gift some posters, like GOATLADY, (may good lord rest her generous and gracious soul!) bestowed upon me. Thanks to her and those like her on the various sites, I was able to hit the ground running with my own flocks, foundation stock, and herds, and still am ridiculously lucky to find them exceptionally healthy n easy keepers. You could pay good $$$ and not get the quality of education, or educators, that I've received here! <3

Night Driver goes back, as does Helen. That's all I can think of, right now. I thought that Flint came back under at different name at one point, but I might be wrong.

Added: I'm wondering if Old Git has passed, now that I'm thinking about original members.

Same here, GGK, but '51 instead of '35. Happy Birthday!

 

[wintery_storm]

how so . . . they got hair growing out their nose and ears too?

they have shavers for that

 

[helen]

When did OAD pass?

I apologize, the last news was in March or May of this year but no word of her death.

 

[The Hammer]

Hey, maybe we can put together a spreadsheet with all the members' ages overlaid with how many posts they had, overlaid again with their region of residence...

You have no idea how many miscreants I have nailed with social media info like that.

 

[jward]

Santana's BD, and possible house closing today as well, iirc... and Pauldingbabe just had a BD, and I totally dropped the ball and forgot to make a thread to wish her and the other leos a happy solar return
So, for all yall:

[lostinaz]

This is definitely The Old Doomers Club. I've been on here since 1999.
