Who is the oldest DUer?

Not me I'm just 24. If you think you may be the oldest, throw down!

Shouldn't this be a poll?

Poll who they think the oldest is other than themselves?
WTF, Polls are for opinions.

Woof

but I'm a "Boomer"
:hippie:

I only hope to live to see the election...and if bush* wins...I want to live to see the NEXT election after that!!! :evilgrin:

I knew I wasn't "The oldest"....patdem has a year on me!

So far, I hold the record.

want to steal his thunder.

I am 62.

'49 was a vintage year!

:toast:

When young and everyone else was born in the '50's'...we seemed so much more mature...but then when we got older we became old farts much quicker...oh well....49 was a VERY GOOD YEAR!

in SEVEN decades -- ouch!

:toast:

I have the best birthday....5/5/50!
Cinco De Mayo!
:party: :bounce: :party: :bounce:

My grandmother is almost 90, and I still call her a spring chicken. :)

Who is the oldest fart on this board???
I come in in the 'mid 80's'...anyone?
Junk

Turns out junk was in the process of completing his life when he posted that. He died on March 10th a few days later. What a charming man he was and at that time, he apparently WAS the oldest Du'er just a few days shy of his 85th birthday.

Prodigaljunkmail is his great grandson.

I am an old fart , but not the oldest one here

merde

you francophil, you....I bet you eat French fries and drink French wine...for crips sake, I bet you even think those French were RIGHT about Iraq! :bounce:

I turned 63 in November by cracky !!

How often do you rotate the crutch tips on your walker?
;-)

Of course I remember him. Brings tears to my eyes knowing he passed only a couple of days after saying how DU keeps his neurons firing and how good he has it. What a good person. DU dropped a notch when we lost him. My eyes are welled with tears now readig the "Old Fart" thread and his G.Grandson's notice to us all that he had passed.

thanks for the memories.

I was a newbie at the time. That was sad.

on memories of those lost in the past year... :toast: for alljunkmail!

<-----13

its gotta be me. born sep 9 ----.spent 24yrs in the military,22 years civil service,retired 7yrs ago,someone do the math I am too tired.

62

70.

Man, I hope to be posting here when I'm 70. When, of course, it'll be known as the DemocraticAboveground! :)

piss and vinegar...it kinda stays with ya. You'll be here!

Do you feel any worse at 70 that I do at 62, or is it about the same?
Thanks.
;-)

honest...70 has sucked so far. Was sick as a dog on my b'day in August, but worked anyway. Ignored my daughter's orders to go see my doc - and ended up in the ER 2 days later. Now I'm putting off a foot operation. Too much earthquake. I can't deal with anything else right now. But on the good side, I kvetch...but keep on ticking.I have the two best kids in the world, marvelous friends and even a guy I divorced almost 40 years ago who calls to see if I'm okay. And then, I have DU. I may not post every day - but I am always here - first thing in the morning and last thing at day's end. It keeps the juices flowing. Life's too interesting to take a pass. But then, you knew that, didn't ya!

Not oldest anymore!

180

You light on Trof-san.

Yo tsu chi chi...69.5

not 180

away from turning 46... still young at heart though~!

Doin' what I did again,
singin' a song...
when the red red robin comes bob bob bobbin alooooong.

a *tad* adorable, too!

We *eldsters* need to hang together. :)

As for trof...I just moved over. We're sitting on the same *throne* -
(oh, lord, that didn't quite come out right, did it?)

I think we're both kiwis of a sort...maybe we can each perch on a wing?

you can see what happened from there.

Unfortunately, I suggestyed an 'earth', too bad God listened, those billions of years ago.

I hit 75 on Dec.13th. It's been a wonderful life. My sister and I are the only only ones left of our birth family of 9. Liz is 88 and has me beat in the brains department. I hope to hang around long enough to see what comes around, but I would love to see my loved ones on the other side someday. I will say this, don't ever think getting older is a thing to fear. Life can teach you to take everything in it's stride. I am still young at heart, the child inside never leaves....and GO DEMS!!

Congratulations! I'm glad you are here with all your wisdom!

I'LL KICK YOUR ASS

I'm a War Baby. You don't hear too much about us. I was born while my dad was in Germany during WWII. Didn't see him till he was released from a POW camp when the war ended in ’45. We've been eclipsed by the boomers. I started kindergarten in 1949, the same year we got our first TV.

I'm 138 years old.

Okay, I'm only 35.
