Well, I urned 83 on 8/10. Was so depressed that only now getting around to posting. :D.
I keep hoping that some doddering old fart here is older than me, but that seems unlikely.
I am probably going to give up the SDMB when I hit 100.

Happy belated birthday, you old fart!
Seriously I am just back from holiday in the true north and we were all put to shame by an energetic, active 82 yr old. Has been on dialysis for like 8 years, 4 hrs, 3 times a week, still makes it to the north for the summer weekends. She was out walking bush trails and inner tubing with her grand daughter.
As long as your brain’s still sharp, like yours, I say post till you’re 105!
Hope you had some fun on your birthday!
Cheers! You put us all to shame, my friend!
Congrats. Also: now that you’re old and falling apart, is there any sin you’d like to commit that you’ve previously abstained from because of health reasons? (For instance, pick up smoking?)
I’m only half-way serious.
Oh, hell, there are plenty. The only trouble is that I I am no longer capable of committing any of them now.
I was feeling old on my birthday a few days ago, but you’ve made me feel a lot better! Don’t leave the board! When people make fun of me, I can always tell them “well at least I’m not as old as KondikeGeoff!”
Bummer of a typo there, Klondike!
Hmm. I checked the spreadsheet and … closest to you is Ignatz, born in 1939. Sorry about that.
Happy Birthday though !!
There’s a spreadsheet on doper ages? Dayummm ain’t nuttin’ sacred around here!
Happy belated birthday KlondikeGeoff! I’ve tried to get one of my friend’s father to join up because he’s got stories about bein’ a pilot in WWII you would not believe. He’s 88. He says he won’t because if he spends anymore time on the computer than he does now his wife will make sure he doesn’t make it to 89. I’ve shown him some stuff that piqued his interest so, there may be hope for a doper older than you yet.
The Cat in the Hat on Ageing, just to cheer you up.
66 last month. I may catch up with you sometime. :rolleyes:
Stay heathy, my friend.
Thanks for that, Canadjun. I can still laugh, and that sure made me do that! Great b’day gift.
Hope you had a great day, Geoff, and I hope that I’m I’m still posting at your age. Looking forward to your posts for many years to come!
Happy Birthday to a fellow Leo! I hope I still have the faculties to complain about my state of being in another 40 years…
Everyone mark you calendars for a Dopefest at KlondikeGeoff’s house on August 10, 2027!
Happy belated, KlondikeGeoff. We’ll try to think of a sin you can commit, lots of sin experts around here.
The French say “Dans le noir, tous les chats sont gris” (In the dark, all cats are grey) I tend to think this applies to the internet. Each one of us can be 16, or 83!
Many happy returns!
I am not older than KlondikeGeoff.
Happy Birthday Old Man.
A couple of years ago, I sent you a PM congratulating you on your continued wisdom. You told m
e that it was no big deal, but only a matter of genetics, and choosing your parents wisely. I lovedthat responsr and you have been on my thoughts ever sincem. I’m amazed at the pseudo-contacts I’ve been able to manage on my brain over the years. Long lay you run, Klondikegeoff.
Hope you had a terrific birthday and Mister? Can we have our ball back now? Please?
Happy belated birthday! Hell, you’re still on the top side of the grass and you’re still making us smile!
Me post on smart phone. Ughhh
