52, and about...20 minutes, according to the clock. B-Day's over, wah.
Now, on FB, there was a test to gauge emotional age... I'm about 16. Guess it's all the years of raising kids with lots of quality time... I'm taking MY emotional age, shaving it off and giving it to them.
They're in trouble.

Can I vote again in another category? You left out "39." That's the Jack Benny category. I realize 39 is "under 50," but so is 49.
Vote early and vote often. Is there a prize for the demographic that wins? Maybe a coupon for an early bird special at the BF.Net Lounge?

Somehow, I fail to understand the problem, since no one knows who HiYoSilver is except HiYoSilver, and, by definition we are all over 50 (except a few).

My mother used to say "Every woman over 25 is still 25."

Well, I used to teach math, and, as I recall from long ago, 39 is "under 50" unless the "new math" has changed things.

There's an Under 50 category and an 85+. So what could "other" possibly be?

There is ALWAYS someone who doesn't think any of the categories fits them. From hard experience, I always include an "other." Otherwise I get some sort of smart-alecky remark.
