I often don't see eye to eye with people my age because they seem so amazingly immature.

I'm right with you on this one, poptart.

Actual age: 22.

Age I feel? I guess 25 or 26. I've always been a homebody, maybe that's part of it--I've really never enjoyed the party/casual hookup scene, which is what the vast majority of other people my age are into. Also the point that poptart made above--WOW is that true.

Things that make me feel my age: not being ready for children, not having a steady job (though, with my line of work, I hope I never do!!), and still driving the car my parents helped me buy before college

i'm with everyone here. i don't feel my age at all. most of the time i still feel 19, i don't know why 19, i guess it was a good year?

then i'm brought back to reality when my daughter asks, "mommy, spongebob and squidward tied up mr. krabs!"

i know being 25 is still a baby, but i feel so much younger than that! i think i'll always feel like i'm 19. sometimes at work, we'll have a tough problem/situation and i'll be able to handle it with ease, afterwards i'll think to myself, omg look at me now! i'm working full time, overcoming problems and not in school anymore? when did school end?? how can that be?

weird, but i love being an adult. i feel like a kid with lots of power and money to do the things i couldn't do when i was younger! no need to ask mom for permission to do this, i can do it!

hahaha...okay.

age i am: 32
age i feel: 25 or sometimes younger!

for me i feel younger because i remember what my mom was like at 32 and she had 3 kids and this big serious life and my life is sooo far from that. so i feel more like i am still in my mid-twenties. also i shop at all these young, hip, trendy stores and am kind of a tomboy in terms of that kinda thing esp in summers so i don't feel like i wear clothes a '30 year old' should wear. lol i was in forever 21 last week and i bought the cutest blazer even though everyone in there was literally 21. hehe. i know times are different now and i am not an 'atypical' 32 year old around here, pretty much everyone i know acts and looks younger, but i tend to FEEL younger because of just remembering how my parents and their generation were at 'my age' and it was very different and more serious than my generation and our friends are now.

what makes me feel young...ahhhh...i don't know? i feel young all the time. but maybe...picking up some cute clothes that seem like a younger gal should wear them and they look super cute on me. hee. also, going out dancing.

what makes me feel old...three things specifically but i don't often feel old, thank goodness. one is when the mid 20's trainers at the gym say things like 'for your age...' like i am 75 or something. come on kids i am only 32. the second is that my youngest sister is 16....and it makes me feel older to realize how quicky she is growing up. the other day i told greg 'wow do you realize that when we met, my sister was 8!'...now that made us both feel old. and then when i think wow when my sister is 21 i will be 37! and so forth and so on. and the last one is when some sort of health problem pops up and you think 'gosh i am so young to be having something like 'heartburn' or similar...i mean obviously illness can happen to anyone but it makes you more aware of your mortality and along with that is age. OH and one more...bar scenes or really loud club scenes. i am like SOO over that. haha.

i think overall one's mentality hugely determines how old they end up looking and feeling. i always get carded and people are always absolutely amazed that i am 32. i think part of it is good genes (my mom looks much younger) but also the fact that i have a younger attitude and am pretty casual in how i dress and act. in a corporate environment i can pull it out and be professional, but on my own time i definitely have a more carefree look and attitude.

greg is 38, but everyone always thinks he is early 30's like 31 or 32. so kind of a similar thing imo!

Real age 45

Feel much younger though. Part of me grew up very quickly, was very mature at an early age. Had some tough life experiences. But then there is a part of me that is still very young at heart. Can't believe my daughter is going to be 19 and my son is going to be 17 soon.

I don't love being called Mam. That drives me nuts.

But the other day I was at our specialty market, where the guy has known me since I was a kid. He said, Lisa you never get older!!! I nearly kissed him, LOL!!!

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
