Title: Speaking of Birthdays - Average Age of Forum Members
Post by: Dennis Markham on November 09, 2010, 02:34:13 PM
The "study" is inconclusive because only 66 of the current 454 Registered Members have divulged their birth dates in their profile--which automatically appear on the calendar.

Of those 66 members, the average age is...............(drum roll).........

45.121212..........years young.

And I just aged another year without having the birthday!! :o
It could be worse, though.  I could be Ben or Kenny C. or AE Tom.  Actually, it's youngsters like them who keep our average age low.

If we could get the other 400 people to put in their birthdays it might bring up the average age.

A kid at 44?  Try 22!  I went to a couple TCI shows a few years back, I was BY FAR the youngest person there with any interest.  Which was fine, I just wish there were more young guys into pones.

I tried adding the year I was born (but not the month and day) on my profile page and it seemed happy with that but after saving it I guess it didn't like it afterall.

All that I wound up updating was my Avatar (since I was there anyway).

I just turned 61 last month. I've come to realize it is never to late until you are dead.
I recently (4 months ago) started to play the Guitar. Never played an instrument until 4 months ago. Well I finally did my first solo performance of playing and singing a song by my self at church, two weeks ago Monday. I was petrified, but I was told I didn't do to badly. I didn't miss a chord, but my strumming needs work. But still after only 4 months at 60 years young. I feel good about it. I started to practice July 7th, and have played  2 hours a day every day since, with the exception of 3 days when my Friend and Partner Kaw-Liga passed away, even then I managed to practice a few minutes to get my mind focused. I recently become friends with 2 new guys art church, and find out they both are very good Guitar players.
I'll be looking up Finlover here in about another 6 to 8 months.
BTW, Guitars are as addictive as Phones, I went from one my Mom gave me, now I have 5. They are all different types however.

Hey one thing I have learned, age is but a number. I took a physical test in the National Guard last month. I ran the two mile run in 13:05. For my age group I had until 17:18 before I failed. Needless to say I maxed my run time. I beat even all my younger soldiers. Heck I was the fastest person in my unit. The next guy ran 13:10. Age is but a number!

It seems at 45 that I'm right on the average age for the group..though it took me far longer than a lot of you to get into the telephone hobby.
