Even though the poll itself doesn’t identify respondents, I wonder who the 88 may be, and probably others in the Over 50 crowd who didn’t participate in the poll yet.

I’m 68 until December.

Help me decide that there have to be more than 88 Dopers over 50!

Most folks over 50 hate polls.

3

I’m 56, and I’m included in the poll count.

You can count me, but please don’t make me stand up too long.

4

I’m apparently not considered old folks! You have no idea how my day has been made! :smiley:

5

I’m 56 for a few more weeks. In the poll.

6

Save me a seat, I’ll be there is a few weeks.

7

I think Klondike Geoff is in his 80’s. I have no clue who answered 90+ – maybe it was a fib.

8

54 for a couple of more weeks.

For once, I’m the youngest person in the room–since I’m 50, the minimum age for this thread.

Proud member of the 1954 Doper gang…whoever we happen to be.

Check out this pivot table:

12

I’m 57 and I have the brain and body of a 25-year-old.

I’m telling where. The authorities might misunderstand.

13

Just turned 56. AND adopted the Firebug, currently two and a half years old, last year.

I don’t look or act my age, but my body feels a LOT older than it did this time last year!

14

Will not be allowed in gated, perfectly manicured, old-fart communities (55 and over) until late summer.

15

On my last birthday, I told my wife that I was reminded of the Paul McCartney song,

16

I’m only 37 in metric.

17

57, and just voted (so I’m not included in 50-59 number in the OP).

18

I’m 53 but already voted.

You misinterpreted – not that it matters much at my age, except on those magic birthdays when you start being eligible for “senior discounts” – I’m 64.
