OT: How old are you ? - Page 4

dmm · #31 March 29th, 2001, 11:33 PM

I do research for the US Army. I'll be 39 this summer. Wife and I just had our 5th child a few weeks ago. I'm thinking about returning to grad school.

Warning -- soapbox speech coming:
Age is definitely not just in the mind -- you have to push yourself harder as the years go by -- but most people let themselves get old too soon. They stop growing, and start dying. What a waste. If your goal in life is to retire early and goof off full-time, you'll be dead by 60. Or, if you're not, everyone will wish you were!

31 years old. I am a manufacturing Tech working in the semi-conductor industry. I have been helplessly adicted to stratigies games since I got my first copy of SimCity.

I am also a hobby photographer,and spend way to much time driving around on my off days taking pictures. (15 years now)

To old, with not enough time to play the damn game! I have more time to read the board than play the game.

I do computer support for a major tech company. I work 12 hours a day. Read the Boards at work, play the game at home.
let's just say I am older then you are.

Looks like I got to so far bear the load of being the oldest at 55. Hope someone out there takes my 1st place away HA!

Nope, I already posted at 56. In addition, Greg Hacke posted that his mother, at 72, plays and follows this forum. She, however, has not posted claiming the title. She also has not posted saying what she thinks of Greg posting her age or calling her an Old Fart.
