Is this some clever way of asking us how old we are? Didn't your mom teach you better? :D

I'm younger than 50, dammit.

12. Yes. (No? I'm confused now.)
Edited on Tue May-23-06 09:23 PM by ZombieNixon
If x is 1 less than 50, then I am x-.6(x+1).

:P

Edit:
Whoawhoa! Older? A minute ago it said "younger?" Or am I really crazy after all? :crazy:

I am not. Repeat NOT! Older than 50. Do the math. :P

32. So you are two and a half years older than I am--or even less!
YOU ARE MY AGE! I love it.

(Actually, I'm just freaking out because my periodontist just told me that I have to lose ALL of my teeth.)

33. Oooohhh!
Nasty! I've just spent the better part of a year and a half getting mine all done. I'm waiting now to have a piece put in for the top back teeth. My sister lost all her teeth though very young, so I empathize. Just think, though--they'll be white and not like my dingy "yellow" ones!
