Ditto here Shinobi

I like the way BG did those groupings... since I'm 30 I get lumped in with the 21 year olds instead of the 40 year olds.

Hi FLtechiegirl - with comments like those in your post you should get on VERY well here Razz What you you lack in years you obviously more than make up for in charm Wink Dear God, that sounds like some ancient chat-up line from a sad old g*t Rolling Eyes Regards. Bob.

As the poll stands now I'm either the youngest or second youngest to vote as I am only 19.

Assuming that the results of the poll are a fair representation of the demographics of this site, its probably why I like it. I've read a couple of times where people have been asked to "think more carefully" at how they respond to posts whereas especialy on other sites you sometimes need to translate a post even though it is apparently written in English.

Well, we will never know for sure. Most polls don't have much participation, this one is no exception. We have almost 11,000 members and so far on 18 votes.

I know that we have a 13 year as a member.

Cheers Smile

Of course thats true, but it just depends on how you class a member. You could easily argue that a lot of people become members for one problem and then disappear, which is of course both good and bad at the same time. Wheras a few such as yourself post regularly and could be said to be a net contributer to the site, or a regualr member.

Still I'm babbling, the joys of youth (and lack of exams Very Happy ) perhaps ?

The most disgusting thing (Almost) about getting old is my hair is now in a reverse growth cycle- its growing through my brain and is coming down my nose and out of my ears, yuk, is that disgusting or not. I go to the barber now and ask for "Just a trim please and an internal grope up the nose and in the ears with small scissors please" Gosh it sounds more than disgusting. I think one or all the Moderators will remove this as being a threat to young people Cool Smile cheers. Jim (The Nose)

Glad to hear that you have a big old honker or snoz. You could have the the barber rip them out with tweezers and transplant them to the old headball.

I agree as we get old we have hair that growing places that never used to be there.

One of our "older" members/moderators (wont say who) has a full head of dark hair, unless this is a retouched photo that I have of him. But need to remember that "god" only created a few perfect heads, the rest of them he covered with hair.

Most of us came into this world pretty much bald, I except the fact that I will be leaving the same way.

Not funny. 8O I know a woman who has tried to pluck my eyebrows and that's enough to make me want to run screaming from the room.
Guy.

Remember the old saying? "Big nose, big ....". Or should that be feet?

Hi Guy9663
We must not mock the afflicted, a large nose means a overhang of the top lip; when eating ice cream the nose pokes into the cone before the lips can make contact, Cool and you must always buy bigger mansized tissues.
I remember a time on the Underground Piccadilly line when I sneezed and cleared a row of passengers Embarassed things looked bad -I got off at the next platform,which was not the one wanted Sad so you see the trials and tribulations of a large honker are not blessings Smile cheers Jim.

I think I may classify as the youngest member being just 18 Cruz, don't mock me with your no exams though, I'm in the thick of it right now which is why I haven't been around much lately. Still time for a break and nice to know the community side of things is still going strong, makes a break from computer woes.

Cheers, Dave.

My wife tells me that bushy eyebrows and hairy ears (nose too probably) adds to the impression of age in men. She used to be a hairdresser and still cuts my hair. This now includes an eyebrow and ear trim. The 'nose' bit gets left to me ..but I can't blame her for that! Smile
