Inspired by [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-turned-31-776-times-on-this-orb/996515/15) (happy birthday, @Hari_Seldon ), I’ve learned that I have been drawing breath for **24,054** days. How about you? [helpful link](https://imrodmartin.com/my-days) mmm ---

I’m at **20,044** days. I hit the big 20K back in December. My birthday is only 45 days away and my 11th anniversary is 10 days later. (I like chocolate cake and rocky road ice cream, if you’re wondering.) ---

As of today Jan/23/2024 I’ve been here (Earth) 30,000 days. My father made it to 30,117 days, so that’s my first goal. My mother made it to 33,247 days, and I’ll be really lucky to make that one, but it is my goal! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-days-have-you-been-alive/996518.md?page=2)
