I'm 37. No grays, no thinning.
Same. :cool:

Gray and white hairs are starting to show up in my goatee though.  I remove them as quickly as I find them. :blush:

How long as this place been around, since the early 2000s? I can't remember how I even came upon this forum. Must have been some hyperlink from EU OT.

42, but my knees are about 57. Thinning on top, greys in beard. Very happy where my life is right now.

Strangely I'm reminded of that cute Dane who got circumcised on a whim; what was his name again?  And TopCat...  wonder if he made it as he wanted.

28. I'm amazed that I'm the youngest so far.

I took a road trip yesterday to the neighborhood I grew up in--my childhood best friend is a new first-time Daddy and visiting his father at the old house; they're starting to pack him up so he could move in with them.

Most interesting thing about the old neighborhood is there are no children.  All the children we grew up with, grew up and moved off;  most of the homeowners stayed and got old.  Those that turned over homes turned them over to other childless adults.

The entire neighborhood is is reaching the end of its generational life cycle.  Kinda weird to look at it that way.  But Languish is too.

The neighborhood I grew up in was already like that 40 years ago..  My brother and I, and a few kids 2-5 years older than me, were the only children living in the neighborhood when I was a kid.  By the time I was a senior in high school, I think my brother and I were the only people living there who under 50.

I bought and live in my childhood home and most of the older residents have died or moved away, some in with their kids. There are still a few left but for a  while now there are a number of newer families with children. When I was a kid all the neighborhood streets had twenty or so kids, which is about what my street had when I count it up. So there aren't as many kids as in my childhood but the neighborhood has gone through some change from old timers to new families with kids.

41.  Some days I feel like I'm in my 20s and others I feel like I'm in my 60s.  Come to think of it, a day I feel like 20-something is usually followed by a day I feel like a 60-something.

When you feel like a 60something, do you feel like feeling a 20-something?  :P

Yep.  At least in that sense I haven't aged much.
