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

Looigi is right. As I said earlier: "You left out "39." That's the Jack Benny category. I realize 39 is "under 50," but so is 49."

:D

Oh, and one more thing, this emoticon here :D should have bugs in the teeth, because if you're flashing a grin like that on a bike, that's what you're gonna get.

Carry on.

:P

But if it was a hard problem then the answer is "42".

People who don't understand 42 didn't ask the right question.

I was so hoping the bars would tend to be higher towards the 80's than the 50's!!!

We have one guy 79 who hasn't responded, and a couple more in their 70's I know about. Perhaps they will respond?

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

I wish that I had noticed that before I voted.

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.

...in the 50+ forum?

I am 54 but I figure that everyone in the 50+ forum is my friend, regardless. I think of all of us as one big family.

You don't need some gas money, too?

Hey, we can come up with smart-alecky remarks no matter how well planned out it is. Can I change my vote? I want to switch parties.

If he's a good dad he'll fill it up first and leave a $20 bill in the glove box.

Seems we always have some younger folks who apporeciate the 50+ ethos!!

I'm old enough to know better but young enough to not care.

rubic 03-10-11 07:46 PM
You know, I started my job as the youngest one there. Now I am the oldest. What happened?

That's funny; I couldn't wait to start posting in the 50+ forum...but I didn't dare before I actually turned 50! It was like a rite of passage, like reaching voting age, or being able to go into bars legally.

cehowardGS 03-10-11 08:43 PM
Okay, who is the youngster that is the lone "75-79"??

Whoever you are, you get big props!! :thumb:

For those of us in the upper age brackets, is the next rite of passage entering that nursing home? :eek:
