48 Some days, I feel like 48, some days, I feel like 108 and some days my inner 8 year old comes out to play. 😛 BTW, I read my first Straight Dope column as a teenager. I bought my first SD book around 1983 and still have it, although it’s in tatters. Quit lurking on SDMB in 2007. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > I’m 30 so far. Ditto. I still get carded, and one friend still says I have a baby-face, while a client of mine was astonished that I wasn’t in my mid-30s (hopefully because of my demeanor and professionalism, and not my appearance.) Nothing wrong with being mid-30s, I just want to look my age ;D ---

I am 20. I’m surprised how few people are in my age group. I started lurking on the board the summer before I started high school, so I guess I was 14, but I didn’t sign up until the board went free to post. I’m kind of amazed that I’ve been reading the SDMB for _six years_. ---
