THat's twice in one day something's made me feel youthful
THe first was my boss sitting me down and saying. . . "When I was twenty something. .. " (Which I am not)

THe second was this poll.

THe third was when I backed my new Honda Civic hybrid into a flower embankment at a friends' house. It hit the muffler, only, squarely and directly. THe tailpipe curved under like a McDonald's straw, completely cutting off any flow. We managed to bend it back partway. THis didn;t make me feel youthful, it made me feel idiotic. :(

Still, 2 outta three ain;t bad.

On the bright side, none of the whistles in the car were harmed.

Tell us something.: Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Part of what I love about celtic/folk style music is the sound of a handful of handmade instruments that remind me of simpler times.

As boomers, there will always be more of us, although I recall seeing a chart indicating that US births are just reaching the level of the late 40s and 50s.

Does this poll mean that all 50 somethings will lose interest in the whistle when they turn 60?????????????

I'm 56 years old, but emotionally and psychically (unfortuneately not physically) 24 years old, after the year of the birth of my daughter, my very favorite time.

I'm sure Dale and Rich will make good use of these statistical threads to better the Board.

I was going to chose 20 something, then I realised I can only do that ten years ago. I wonder if anybody has lied about their age?
