Eh, fine. 35 two months ago. Whatever. At least I’m older than that young rascal **Ambivalid** , talk some sense into him. I stopped counting after … I can’t remember when. Probably after I hit 30 I just stopped counting. ---

32 next month. I still remember thinking how old I’d be in 2015 (the future year Marty travels to in Back to the Future II) and how impossible the awesome touch panels on the Enterprise in Star Trek: TNG were. 2015 is in two years and I do NOT feel old (often) and I’m posting this with a hand held, touch sensitive computer(smart phone.) Life is weird, no? ---

There really just has to be **somebody** who has yet to vote in this poll! It’s been stuck at > [@](#): > > Voters: 799. You have already voted on this poll for weeks! Does a voter count of 800 or more cause a rift in the space-time continuum or what? 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-old-are-you/584122.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-old-are-you/584122.md?page=11)
