Chronologically and emotionally, I will be 31 next month. My attitude toward life is more like that of a 21 year old, but with the child-like wonder of a 6 year old. šŸ˜ƒ > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by mkmiller99 \* > \*\*Iā€™m a 29 year old Texas gal, hitting 30 this year, and not too thrilled. \*\* Howdy, neighbor! We have a pretty good representation here from the Dallas area, and we are a friendly bunch, to boot. Watch the [MPSIMS](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=4) board here and join us next time we all get together. I have missed the last few, but hated that I had to. ---

On Sept. 1, 2000, I celebrated the Third Annual 29th Birthday (that makes me 31, BTW). Iā€™m a reasonably young man, but Iā€™m practicing to be a codger in a few years; Misanthropic and grouchy outside, heart of a softie inside. Who knows, maybe being born on the 30th Anniversary of the official start of WW II influcenced me, and the fact that my first solid memory of childhood is sitting at the kitchen table with Mom and watching the Ervin Watergate Senate hearings didnā€™t help. ---

I turned 37 in December. I watch the Simpsons daily. I sing silly songs daily. I pretend I donā€™t know my children daily. At supper, when Mrs. Nipples is working, we play,\*\* ā€œNow you see it, now you donā€™tā€\*\*. Itā€™s a wondeful game where you put a huge peice of food in your mouth, and your kids giggle likeā€¦well kids. 37 is a lot like being 20ā€¦or 16ā€¦or 7. ---

of those who post but donā€™t reveal anything, I will give you some useless clues as to my age. I am also your parents. I can say my name, count to ten and see with one eye closed. The difference of ten minus four has three letters. My dog farts after eating cheetos. If you had an apple, and he had a peach, then I had a watermelon, HA! There was a Staff Sergeant at my technical school in the Air Force. His name, as I recall it, was Sergeant Eaton. He was a tool. Sand in the trunks is no fun. I like marshmallows. Good luck. ---

Iā€™m 47. In all honesty I usually have to subtract to remember the number. One good thing coming from a family that never made a big deal over birthdays: it _is_ just a number. All in all itā€™s a weird but nice suprise, that I can still feel young inside w/o for one moment wanting to ā€œundoā€ the years or experience. Hadnā€™t expected that.
