Happy Birthday to all celebrating February birthdays!
Kay

Checking in at 62. ...and glad to be here!

BTW, great thread!
Gwen

I forgot....HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all of you with Feburary birthdays. There sure are a lot of you!

I'll be 48 next month--looking forward to 50. I should get a new sewing machine or a new sewing machine cabinet to celebrate!

40 until July and loving every minute of it. Not nearly as awful as 30 was!

Wellllll, when I started reading the postings, I was keeping track on my fingers of where I fell in line, but heck, I had to take off my shoes. I'm part of the SIXTIES BUNCH... will be 65 in May. And I guess every peddler of insurance knows it since I'm getting all kinds of info on which company and plan I should use to supplement Medicare. MEDICARE... somehow 65 doesn't do much since I'm lucky to have as good a health as I've always had (chose great genes!) but to be going on MEDICARE>>>> ACHHHHHHHHHHH! Luckily I have good insurance through my teachers retirement so don't have to do anything but trash all the "junk mail" on this subject!

hello ladies, i don't post much but i read the post often..lol i have learned so much from your ideas and topics as well as advise for others.. i am 28 until july 30th. and i have a daughter who is 8 in the third grade. and i have been married for 10 years in june. erica

Well, so far the average age is 49½.

57 here! I don't know how that happened either. I don't feel that old MOST of the time.
Linda OH

34...until Cinco de Mayo. The years are slipping away. At least my hubby is 10 months older than me. ;)

Darla

Turning 59 in May...happy to be alive and healthy, at any age!

Like Polardream, I turned 53 in January.

I can put the average up as I am 73!! Not on any medication, pretty mobile, can get down on the floor and up again and have almost all my teeth !! I tell you girls, I am really grateful.!!!

Kathryni
you'll have to move back a number - I'll be 68 in June and thankfully retiring the end of this year.

Carolyn

Well, I don't feel old, but I do feel average. I'm 49.25, turning 50 in November. :D

The Other Marcia

Hi,
I'll be 59 on Feb.29th.I'll just have to use the 28th.Like to at least celebrate in Feb.

Well Shirl, I hand the crown over to you our Queen Mother, but I'm still next in line for the crown, LOL Rene I love my age!

36 today!!

This has been interesting to read. I'm 49 till October. Happy Birthday stashie, mary c, and kelly. How exciting to have so many people with the same birthday or close to the same day. My husband and I have the same birthday.

I'll be 54 April 2..same day as byrdseay..and Omar Sharif!LOL.
Happy Birthday today stashie!

I will be the big five o on Sept. 24, I don't know where the time went, but with 3 grandkids and my oldest son will be 30 this year I guess I can figure it out.

I will be 57 in November. Looking forward to retirement some day.

Age: 65 and using Medicare to replace knee on the 12 of March.

Inside I am really 16. The body just won't keep up.

Here is a link that might be useful: SewitSeams

Count me in with the 50 group. Or, as I like to say, I'm 29 + 21 (where the 21 don't count, hehe).

I am 54 (November18).
I can honestly say I would not go back to any previous age, especially my 20's.
Life for me has gotten much better with age!!!!! Can't say that for the body LOL!!!!
I just have a much younger DH, he's been holding at 39 for 16 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rosa

Well I might as well join in.
The calendar says I am 65 until August.

My mind thinks I am in my 20's especially when I hear the music from then. But when my back
problem acts up, the body thinks it is probably around 90.

Haven't been 90 so don't really know that feeling yet,

Just hope I make it until then.

Happy Birthday to all February Ladies.

Jacke

I am 23 and I too, am looking forward to retirement! So that would make it 50 years to go...the countdown is on!

Count me in with the 50's group; until September when I will be 52. I got a senior discount at the gym where I work out at and hated to complain about a 20% discount. D

LOL jmcocoa! I thought that way when I was your age. Now that retirement is almost around the corner, and while I am looking forward to leaving the rat race (though I do love my job), it does feel, um, strange (for lack of a better word) to know that I'm at "that age" with so many years behind me. In other words -- don't rush it, you'll be there before you know it. <:-o>Jen

This October I will celebrate the 40th anniversary of my 21st birthday. I couldn't wait to turn 60. At this age I can get away with a lot more than I did at 50!

Just turned 51 this month. I'm glad that I'm in such good company.

lol...I believe I was in denial when I somehow missed this thread of messages back in February. Now that I just finished and sent my April "Sunbonnet Susies" birthday block, I am now faced with reality: I'm the next birthday block girl - I turn 50 on May 6. FIFTY! To be honest, I feel like I'm still in my 30's on most days. My life is filled with a wonderful man, a wonderful family, and an amazing group of friends. They all keep me active and young at heart!

Judy in Massachusetts

Judy - Fifty is only a number - we are as old as we feel - I've known women who are in their 70's who have the spirit and energy of someone much younger, and I know women in their 40's who are old before their time! My personal philosophy is that "old is about 20 years older than you are!" - and the concept of "old" keeps changing as I age.

I'll be the big 5 O in September. I don't feel my age either. Only when the kids start having their birthdays. My oldest son will be 30 this year. I don't know where the time went, he is still 7 years old in my mind

I'll be 64 in July - only one more year to the Old Age Pension (Canada) I'm going to be a great grandma in three months which is making me feel ancient.

Grandmaquilts, it is when the kids and nieces and nephews, and then the grandkids start having kids it makes you think of the time passing.
I was complaining to my Mom about my son turning 30 this year and making me feel old.

She said and I quote " how do you think I feel my daughter will be 50", so I just shut my mouth. LOL
Liz

I'm the fourth youngest by technicality, as I turned 27 on February 14. Lyndawn is the same age, but her birthday is before mine. :D

Well, I turned 40 a week ago...on the 8th of April. I had a hard time with it....then my brother called. Needless to say, he didn't make me feel any better!!! haha
Susie

Well, I happened to come across this thread, and was surprised at how many of us are 50 this year or will be turning 50!

I turned 50 in April, guess 1957 was a busy year. Glad that so many of you are my peers!

I am 17 will be turning 18 Septemeber 9.

I am 55,will turn 56 on January 1,2008,2008.

You see the way things go downhill at this age. Didn"t preview that message very keenly. If only it was just my sight that was going!!!LOL....Geraldine

I was 59 again a couple of days ago.

I'm sixty now and have to be reminded that some people think of that as elderly. In my mind, I got stuck somewhere in my forties, a very good decade to be in. Retirement? What's that?

I just turned 70 but I'm sticking to 45...It's neat to have 4 of my kids older than me....Boy where did the time go?
Dorothy

I just turned 54 on July 10th.

Kathi

I missed this thread in the spring, but count me in the 50 something group too......53 WOW is right, where has that time gone! Jill

I was 74 last May 4 but I feel like 50, does that count?
Jayne

I am 19, i will be 20 on December 23rd. I was a little happy to know i am not the youngest, I always feel like i am the only person my age that quilts. All of my friends think i am weird because I love to Sew....

Leah

I am a very OLD 46 year old. I wished I was like the one of you in their 70' that can get down on the floor and get back up again. Nope, I have many health issues and they age you.
