How Old Are You?

[fightingirish595]

A 24 year old good luck charm. The first pats game I ever watched was the raider playoff game in 01, but I don’t remember all too well cuz I was 6

Old enough to remember when tv broadcast ended at 1 am (I think) and started at 5 am w the playing of the National Anthem

Hit 60 this year and wondered what happened to that 18 y.o. starting college......that 28 year old getting married and starting a business...that 36 year old raising rugrats ( who are 13 months apart).......that 42 year old who saw things nobody should ever see from that terrible day.... that 54 year old who took one child to college and watched another go into the military .....
Now for the first time I actually read those Social Security notices that they send out that tell me how much I will collect if I retire at 62, 67 or 70........

According to the calendar or my wife - results may differ

My wife has often referred to me as her oldest child

 

[primetime]

A month older than Devin McCourty

Also a month older than Jason McCourty

EVERY 50 year old man thinks he could date a 28 year old woman. Ask me!

The formula is half your age plus 7.

 

[signbabybrady]

This was fun we have a wide variety of ages and some interesting responses expressing your ages. I can't help but think of how lucky we all are to have been born and lived through a time that gave us BB and TB!!!

I fell into the first category when I registered here in 2005. Since then I've done college, war, grad school, Fulbright, work, marriage, now a kid. Lived in half a dozen different countries, all of which I watched at least one Patriots game.

Forums are kind of dying, and maybe rightfully so, for Twitter and Reddit and Facebook groups and the like, but there's history here.

 

[wrangler]

Sailed to England on the Queen Marry and back again in the summer of '49, ...?
or was it '48. I'm old enough to not remember which.... I think?

Mine often groups me in with our boys, as in saying she's successfully raised 5 boys but the 6th is a work in progress.

28, spoiled and have experienced little beyond sustained success for the team. Joined this forum when I was like 15.

I once was the wanted man on Boomtown.
I remember being picked in line and was took to the set and first thing i see was the wall at the back of the corrall was open to a parking lot.
I was a bit stunned and was brought into the bunk room and disguised and Rex took my picture.
I was brought to a gift room and overwhelmed by a thousand prizes picked Clue. Never caught by the sheriff and had my 2 minutes of fame.

I was 20 when Ray Lewis killed two guys.

In the Army, I say "as ****", but here it looks like I'm the youngster

 

[DarrylS]

Classic "Baby Boomer" who first was a Cleveland Browns Fan in the 50's to late 60's, when they were good, then became part of the Pats Legion after the NYJ won the Superbowl and I knew the AFL was real and here to stay..

The greatest adventure about being old is the opportunity to meet lots of different medical professionals and have lotsa tests.. good health insurance is a plus... then convincing yourself that none of this medical stuff is real and you can live for another 20 years...

 

[Froob]

I'm so old that.... my back goes out more than I do!

Lol I’m the same way at only 27.

Funny story about that. I remember they gave everyone a number and if they called your number you were the wanted man. They called my number and I was all excited. OOPS, they gave out two of the same number and let the other brat, I mean kid get it.. I was pi**ed and never watched the show again..... Even as an 8 year old, I could be a stubborn one....
