50+ Age Check

50+ Age Check. It's been awhile since we have done this, and it has been a long time since one of DnvrFox's polls!!

What is your age?

You got to wait until I post the poll!! It takes a few minutes after the thread is posted for the poll to get posted.

Now, be sure to go back and answer the poll!!

Since we are all getting windchill temperatures ("It's 47 outside but it feels like 35!"), how about an age chill poll - "I'm 53 but I feel like 41, or 35, or 61."

I just joined in September. Kicking and fighting all the way and even resorted to denial. Now that I am here, it isn't such a bad place.

I checked the 65-69 group even though I am 64 I am a lot closer to 65 than 64. Will be 65 April 3rd and can signup for Medicare - if we still have it.

My analytical mind and my great math ability concludes that, since I did this poll about 5 years ago, some of us have gotten older!!

Anyone know how to stop that?
