Age check thread

[Bat Boy]

For the record, I'll talk to anyone on DU, regardless of age. I particularly like to see under eighteen DUer's taking an active roll in politics.

When I was younger there were times I felt my ideas and opinions were discounted solely on the basis of my age. I remember how frustrating that was. Well let people know who you are, so we can all be amazed by your brilliance!

So check in folks!

For the record, I am 43. Today. And yes, that's a cheap and tawdry way of getting people to say "Happy Birthday" to me. I'm shameless and proud of it!

[JimmyJazz]

Happy Birthday!

:party:

But, I'm not telling.

[GOPisEvil]

23. Heh...you're 29, right?

:-)

[JimmyJazz]

31. Why yes! As a matter of fact I am! Today, too.

:P

[GOPisEvil]

33. Happy birthday again!

:spank: times 29! :P

[JimmyJazz]

36. Squared, maybe

[GOPisEvil]

37. Stop!

1. Happy Birthday, Bat Boy

I'm 35 - too old to get drafted :)

[kdmorris]

Happy Birthday to you!!!

Yep, fell for the bait... but I'm 35, for the record. Will be 36 on April 10, 2005.

[Droopy]

2. I'm 32

Happy Birthday! :toast:

[smurfygirl]

3. happy happy birthday.

I'm between 25 and 27.

[babylonsister]

4. Happy Birthday, you cheap, tawdry thing you!

I'm older than you and when I was younger I got thrown out of my house because of my opinions. Sadly, so much time has passed I can't remember why it was so important to Dad/Mom/me. Caused quite a rift. It was one of those 'I own this house and while you live under my roof..." kind of things.

[ogradda]

5. happy birthday!

hope 43 of these don't hurt too bad!:spank: :yourock:

[Bat Boy]

12. Doesn't hurt a bit.

After about 25 of them, everything goes a bit numb...

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

[BoX o BooX]

11. Hey, Lefty!

Wanna go to a Woody Allen Movie?

Oh, fuck, I'm SO tombstoned.

[JimmyJazz]

15. Perhaps it is time to put it to rest. Just a thought. n/t

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

20. Well sure.

As long as you're aware that I could easily kick your ass. :D

[BoX o BooX]

24. You realize, of course, I deserve it?

I'm a naughty boy.

[Left Is Write]

7. Happy Birthday!

I'm 38.

[Susang]

10. What a clever and unusual way to post a birthday thread

Crazy bastard! :loveya:

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

13. Happy Birthday!

I am 34 years old.

And I like the fact that teenagers here are treated respectfully for the most part. They have something to say, too. And I love it when I see adults treat teenagers like the adults-in-training that they are.

We need more kids to be politically aware and active. And know their history. I wish I had been more so at that age.

I always hated forums where the teenagers were chased off with insults about their age. Made the adults look REAL mature. NOT.

[Susang]

21. I would have killed for something like this when I was a teen

I used to join political groups and attend protests as a matter of course. I was often the only person my age there. I craved intelligent discussions about politics and world events and desperately wanted to my views to be taken seriously.

I was lucky, in that none of the adults in those situations felt it was beneath them to discuss and debate issues with a teenager. They were happy that there were teenagers that gave a shit. They took the time to have real conversations with me and it's made a huge difference in my life.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

47. That is so awesome.

Yes, everytime I run into teenagers at meetups or campaign meetings or rallies or whatever, I make it a point to introduce myself to them and make them feel welcome. They are the future.

[GOPisEvil]

Happy cheap, tawdry birthday! :party::hi:

[Bat Boy]

30. You have no idea how cheap and how tawdry.

You just...really. You have no idea.

[sakabatou]

18. Turning 18

on April 1st.

Helped my local DNC headquaters and got a lot of new registrees.

[Susang]

25. Welcome to DU

Thanks for all the work you put in on the last election. Hope the next one goes a little better for us. :hi:

[Bat Boy]

29. Well done!

That's a hell of a lot more than a lot of people did!

Welcome to DU!

[jpgray]

19. Happy birthday to a Lenny Bruce fan

:hi:

[Bat Boy]

35. Nice to know there are still people who know who he is.

I fear that one day he'll become a mere blip on the comic radar.

[Seabiscuit]

22. Not quite old enough to vote for John F. Kennedy. 59 going on 30.

[Dogmudgeon]

26. Bat Boy ... or Paddle Boy?

I haven't seen so many spanking icons since before the Great Sex Thread Ban went into effect.

I'm 46. A few years ago, the FDA declared my rear end to be a major Repetitive Stress Injury hazard.

--bkl

[Bat Boy]

28. Ah, those were the days...

Now it's just subtle inuendo. Then outuendo. Then inuendo...

[Dogmudgeon]

34. And then, she offered her honor

And he honored her offer.

And for the rest of the night, it was offer, honor, offer, honor.

--bkl

[lcordero]

I hope it was a great one!

Oh, and I am 36

[meow2u3]

40. 44 yo bbw

[ofrfxsk]

41. Happy Birthday to you!

Me, I'm somwhere between 33 and 35. Can't say it out loud.

My baby sister is 18 and I keep trying to get her to sign up here but she's a stubborn little cuss. Maybe if I nag her some more. hee
Actually, I've stopped that. She's a "grown-up" now and I'm more and more impressed with the strong, intelligent young woman she's turned into. We don't always agree but we listen to and respect each other. She has (and some of her friends, even!) given me a lot of hope for the future.

[welshTerrier2]

42. Happy BD, BB ...

the next ten years will weaken your eyesight and strengthen your vision ... have a good one ...

i'm 54 ... i can see both goal lines from here ...

[Bat Boy]

43. Don't give it away! I want to be surprised.

'Course the way my memory is going, I'll be surprised no matter what.

[welshTerrier2]

44. yeah, memory ...

i remember stuff that happened 20 years ago better than the stuff that happened last week ...

[UpsideDownFlag]

45. old enough not to be talked to condescendingly.

that's for sure.

[progmom]

46. I'm old enough to not require a "*" by CO Liberal's logic

But not so old that you would kill me on Logan's Run.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

48. I'm trying to remember

was the limit 30 years old in Logan's Run?

If so, I'd be dead.

[progmom]

49. Oh poop - if that's the case, then I lied.

I think I am a year younger than you, my haiku friend.

:hi:

[China_cat]

50. Between menopause and dead

[flamingyouth]

51. I'll be 36 next month

Hooray. :cry:

[Hello_Kitty]

52. Happy Birthday! Are you on the 22nd or 21st?

Mine's Nov. 21 so it's still my B-day here in AZ. I'm 36, hence officially in my late thirties. Which for some reason does not bother me nearly as much as turning 35 did. :shrug:
