Ann Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Do you tell your real age, lie or avoid it all together? Does it bother you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I tell...............but someitmes I say I'm OLDER than I am so the person will tell me how GOOD I look ! I used to fret over age......now I'm ecstatic each birthday for another year alive!!!!! Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I weigh who is asking and usually tell my real age. Of course, sometimes I tell the age I FEEL at the time (around 80)... Now, if you were to ask the same question about weight...LOL...I lied for my driver's license - BIG TIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calintay Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I tell my real age or at least try to sometimes I forget how old I am. Like Snowflake I think my drivers license is about 90lbs lighter originally it was only about 20lbs lighter but then I have gained. You know when you go to renew your license and the idiot says same weight? Like I am going to tell him no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish2418 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I don't LIE about my age, but I usually try to avoid the subject. Keep 'em guessing.. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm almost 73 and proud of it. So I tell my age, sometimes even if not asked. LOL Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melindasue37 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 you're only as old as you feel right.......so how could it be considered lying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Yes I lie like a dog! I come from a long line of age liars. When my grandmother died my grandfather found out she was actually 5 years older than she had told him. She even went so far as to not collect her social security for 5 years! My mom has it down to a science-- she remembers nothing prior to 1935. I only tell the truth if I am under oath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I tell my real age, I am happy that I have made it to another birthday. I actually love my birthday as it is all about me By the way I am 44 Alan on the other hand hates his birthday and would like to put his head under the covers and pretend it never happened. So he avoids the subject of age at all costs. (Alan is 60 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geri Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I tell it like it is, especially this year - 60 - I'm amazed I'm that old.......here I'm still waiting to feel like an adult and most of the world already thinks I'm old!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laban Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I tell and I'm proud to be 60 and blessed for feeling so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I, like others, will tell you my age, BUT, my weight is shared only with my dr. The problem I have with lying about my age is that I would have to have my children start lying about their age or tell people I got married in elementary school. I am 64. I don't mind being 64 I just don't like what gravity has done to me over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I feel with the life i've lived and experienced that i'm proud to still be here at my age..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggiegirl62 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I am 44 but look way younger. (My secret is that I am not married and have no kids.) LOL Anyway, I love to tell my age and see the shocked look on people's faces and then they tell me how I do not look nearly that old.

J.C. Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Age: I do tell my age (79) but hate to do it, because of my hair. Black natural hair runs in my family and harder to explain with each passing year. Weight: If asked will tell, but I'm underweight so people don't ask often.... Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myrnalu Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I tell everyone im 27.My oldest daughter will be 40 soon.Dont know how my kids got older than me and my grandchildren are catching up too.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I was just 60, keeping it low key. And bang.... they had this hugh surprise party for me. So, so much for that. I don't look sixty at all so that makes me feel good. Not to be vain, but I don't. My family has good genes that way. And Kasey You don't have to tell people you are older, you look marvelous, sweetie!!! There are things that make me feel old though. Like finding our the Beatles "Sargents Peppers" album came out 40 years ago on June 1st. I remember that like it was "Yesterday".... hmmmm sounds like another song.

kamataca Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 My son tells everyone my age (don't know why), so I don't get a vote in it. Oddly eenough, I often forget my age. Truly. I've had to go back and correct my age before to people--then I feel like an idiot. Sometimes I have to take my daughter's age and add 25 to it to make sure I get it right. I'm not in denial, just not with it. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I just found this "Just for Fun topic area"! I like it! I will be 46 on June 15th-this Friday! We're having a "70's theme" party, which my daughter is throwing for me, and everyone is dressing up! Can't wait to see the grandbabies dressed as Hippies! LOL! I always tell everyone my correct age, but add that I still "feel" 20 "at heart"! Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well, let's put it this way...I have never had a 30th birthday...I only have anniversaries of my 29th! Blessings, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
