Two other Dopers whose age I don’t know, except that they’re older than me would be Polycarp and Triskadecamus. There’s also a fair number of >50 Dopers, whose ranks I shall join next year, provided they don’t jam a hambone up my bum and let the hounds drag me off before that.
I hope you make it to my age and beyond. I am looking forward to many more years. After you pass 70, you begin to be thankful to get up in the morning and see something in the mirror,you know you are alive,can still see, and if you can still recognize your own face,life is Good!

Get my third SS check next week at 65 and 6 months. Then a retirement check on the 26th, then a paycheck on Friday. Born on Friday the 13th, my lucky day. Keep working, younguns!
Where’s Desert Geezer? He posted once a couple of weeks ago after 2-3 months off the board.
Only 50 here. I knew I was old when I was ITTG*

Just maybe I’ve got Mr Simmons beat. I’ll be 78 in August. It ain’t great, but as they say, it beats the alternative.
The answer to “What’s it like being that old?” is:
Everything hurts. What does not hurt is numb.
Actually, I’m still pretty active. I climb a local Arizona mountain of 3400 feet elevation almost every day, and when possible, still go to the High Sierra in California and do some of the 14,000 foot mountains, including Mt Whitney.
Of course, I’d never do this if I as in my right mind!

awwight, I maxed out my quota of ":eek:"s. Can someone loan me a few? Thanks.
My wife corrected me yesterday, when I said something about being 67. She thought I’d be glad to find out I was only 66, but I would have rather waited until my next birthday. Anyway, it is nice to get a whole year back. I’m glad to find out there are two other dopers besides David Simmons older than I am and one about my age.
No, he’s older. But this thread has been around several days now and since he hasn’t responded, I don’t feel quite right going into details I may remember incorrectly.
And me? I’m older than Zoe, but she’s a lot smarter.
I just stopped in here to see who was older than me.
It seems like the whole world is full of kids anymore, and I’m only 57.
Here’s to alla youse!
Punk here (52).
So, do you prefer being called “codgers,” “geezers” or just “long in the tooth?”
Kicking up my heels at 62 here! I celebrated by getting my Golden Eagle pass for National Parks…$10.00 for a lifetime. Beat that, sonny!
The average age of this board is far higher than any other I have been a member of. I wonder why that is?
Twenty-three here. Quite the young’un.
