I posted my age in another thread.
I wonder if the fact that most of us are in our 40s and 50s indicates that persons of that age bracket have no real social life.

I'm 18.

I wanna know where all the other "teen and unders" are. There aren't too many of us! Only ten as of now. Who are you teens and unders?

Nah. Just means you've acquired a taste for more meaningful relationships . . .

-How old are we? We are not amused.

-Despite Betty Friedan's observation that age brings with it a wealth of non-monetary riches (true!)-I wanna be 11.5 years old again and stay up late getting into mischief in the sure and certain belief this puts mortality & fate on the ropes and the universe at my feet. Thomas Jefferson said something to the effect he would love to have life to live over again, but no sane person would wish to repeat the years between 17 and 24. I concur.

43... but it's not the age, it's the mileage.

It is true that it is the mileage...
... but were was the driving?

I know people that knew more about people than I hope to, but couldn't balance a check book. Others knew things about global affairs, but couldn't keep a relationship stable. Others were financially stable but didn't know anything about the world other than exchange rates. Maturity is strange in that way, it has different levels.

PS I like the mileage more than the years. If you are not traveling, then you are just sitting and waiting for death.

You're not supposed to ask a woman her age you know

Some folks live and do more by a younger age than most do in an entire lifetime. Thinking in terms of mileage is the best way I have to describe it.
