On the verge of turning 56...and getting crabbier by the moment :wink: :wink:

Definitely fitter in my 50's than during the previous two decades :D

I'm 46 and I've definitely entered crabbyland.

:think: Pretty sure 36, but I keep forgetting (no seriously I do keep forgetting, I end up having to do the math which I suck at)

I've been crabby since long before hitting my 30s though. And I would like to clarify that I don't whine. I b!tch :P

I was born in the fifties, now I am in my fifties. 51.75 to be somewhat exact. Still not old enough to know better. Still crazy after all these years.

This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

I was born in the "upside-up" year—i.e., one in which the numerals that form the year look the same as when the numerals are rotated upside down.

I don't remember how old I am...let me ask the nurse. She says I don't meet her dating formula but do I want my bag changed.

I'm 45, but when I'm out for a run I feel like I'm still in my 20's - and that's why I run :D
