We're old and older. 

The wife and friends were calling me Graybeard long before I found this forum.  A member of the public wanted to know how to recognize me a couple of weeks ago at a F&G function.  I told him simple look for the only member with a graybeard.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Well, I'm 56, but in body only.  When I look in the mirror is about the only time I realize how old I am (or when I'm feeling the aches & pains).  I figure if I can go to the range more often to play with my toys it will keep me younger. ;D

if we are voting all the way into May, some may have to change their answer.

The reason the poll runs so long is for people that may be away or don't visit often. I see no need to change your vote. This will give us an idea of the average age of the members. Dale

For what it's worth once you've voted you CANNOT vote again and there is no provision for changing your vote. That's not the way polls work here.

Like I said I'm 58, and retired.  The thing I am looking at now is to live long enough to draw enough of that retirement to have made it worthwhile.

Not to be a smarta$$ but the question does not ask what your age is it asks what the average age is, this could also be taken as a poll of what you "think" the average age of members is.  I think we all understand what Dale is getting at though.  Anyways I am 34.
