Poll: What generation are you?
 

After my visit to Forum Fest, I realized that I am probably in the minority on the site. I wonder what the average age of our members is? Please take the poll

I am on the low end of the 40-60 range. ;)

44 and feeling great!!

that strange age!
 

Old enough to know better but too young to care.

WBB - I'm gonna assume you're about 30?

(AW will be having her 29th b-day for the nineth time this October.) :D

33 to be exact. I just noticed I seemed to be one of the younger members at the fest. I know at least one other poster personally that is around my age. I was just hoping that people my age that love the lake were on here as well. I notice in the poll there even seems to be some under 30, good to see!

I was not there but
 

I am going to hit 28 this November!:banana:

age
 

I turned 29 this past January...for the 12th time. So, well, actually just do the math.
I try not to.

I know there are lots of winni lovers my age!! I am 31! :)

Way Old
 

I've decided to stop counting.... born 5/6/51 older than dirt! :emb:

Youth is wasted on the young! :laugh:

I'm 69 and damn proud of it. Over 57 years of it has been spent at the big lake in Alton and the rest on the ocean half way up the state of Maine.:)

39 and I will be 40 in December. I remember as a teen thinking 30 was very old. As you can imagine, I no longer feel that way. :)

I was not there, but just turned 37. My wife is going to be 29 for the 6th time on Saturday. :laugh:

Turned 55 at ForumFest.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?! (Yes, I'm yelling!)

You should have let us sing to you... or maybe spank you? :laugh::eek:

Age!
 

Shoot! I knew it! I'm the oldest...oh well, guess there is no age limit on enjoying the Lakes Region and liking to hear all the goings on. :)

Hitler and the Moon......
 

Two very good years.......I was born the day of the unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin helped me celebrate my 25th by walking on the moon.....I am ....... OLD! I guess that makes me part of the Pepsi Generation.:)

I LIKE this poll, lol. I'm just to one side of smack dab in the middle of the 40-60 age group, and I'll firmly deny every word of this whenever I'm lucky enough to meet any of my fellow forum posters! :laugh:

On another note, I wasn't able to make FF -- yet again -- thought I was going to, then promised my 13-yr-old to take him to Clark's for Train weekend, not realizing there was a clash of dates at the time. :emb: I was very sorry to miss yet another one, BUT son and I had a wonderful time in Lincoln. I hope the weather in M'boro was close to as wonderful as it was in Lincoln, and it sounds like Krista did a fabulous job with the organization -- kudos to her, SteveA, rrr, and everyone who donated raffle prizes and to all who participated in the FF! :cheers::banana::cheers:

44 and feeling great!!

I'm 44 and need a nap:D

Boy, are YOU old! :eek:

Ummm...What date was that? :emb:

I noticed the same thing at ForumFest '08, but anticipated that the number of attendees at a September Forum Fest would include retirees: the average age of members here is probably much younger. (Many at the ForumFest '08 haven't replied as yet, making this poll somewhat more "youthful".)

47...48 this winter. :eek:

Ageless.....
 

...39 with 24 years of experience at it!!!:laugh:

At 42 years old, I find it amusing to be lumped in with the "up to 60 year old" crowd by a 33 year old. I'm only 9 years older than you, WeirsBeachBoater, but you have me in the same category as someone almost twice your age. Where's the 40 to 50 option? :D

Dave R, I meant no offense to anyone, I came up with the categories by what I observed at the FF. It looked to me in my humble opinion, that most at the fest, were between 40-60. According to the poll, it looks like that is true and it is the largest demographic on our site.

I was not offended at all. Amused, just amused. :D No worries.

ages
 

I think there should have been a 40-50 then 50-60 category.

old enough for one & young enough for the other
 

I could be in both of those category's :laugh:

Age.......
 

:laugh:I may be 54, but from the neck up I'll always be 16......just ask my wife...

yup
 

You have to grow old not up! My head says 18 but my body just laughs!!!:laugh:

Come on now, you still haven't revealed your age. :confused:

Ok
 

easy math born in 1954!

Age is 62 and loving it. The body is slower but some parts are still alive and kicking, Yahoo.

Dave M

34 years been at the lake since I was 7

Not Far Behind You!
 

I'm not too far behind you, HC. I was 20 (almost 21) when Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the moon.

There may be snow on the roof; but there is still a little smoke rising from the chimney... :D

What was popular
 

This is what was popular just before I started to drive :laugh:
