Age you are/age you feel/age you act/age you look/age you wish you were. 46/ 40/ depends on the day / I’m told 30’s / 24 I can feel 64 (or what I imagine 64 to feel) or 6 years old, depending on the day. Feeling like I’m 6 doesn’t mean I act 6. I could really use a do over in life, but then again, if I did that, I wouldn’t have the kids that I do etc. So, I’ll stick with what I have (like I have a choice). Did that answer the question? 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Baffle] 23/19/27/27/6 [/QUOTE] Bless you, Baffle. For a while there, I thought there was no one here who didn’t look five to twenty years younger than they are (though Dopers as a group are fairly hot, I guess. And smart.) Me? 31/31/25-75/33/31 ---

Age I am: 30 Age I feel: 25-35, depending on how achy I wake up Age I act: 15-40. I’m responsible yet emotionally immature. Age I look: last guesses by others were - 26, 25 and 22. Age I wish I were: 18 or 33. The former to do things over, the latter with an optimistic eye towards making life _now_ work out for the best in the relative near future. ---
