I just ask this cause i'm married and have two kids and most of you seem to be young(er) ...

any other old farts ?? :laugh:

meta

depends on what you mean by older?* I don't consider myself to be a young pup, but perhaps others would...

lol...just checked your info...I'm even older than you :D

as I remember... the oldest on this board is about 70... there are some 60's... 50's... 40's and it works its way on down from there and the mode seems to be somewhere in the mid to late 20s...

hope that helps with the age question...

Don't worry Pika, there are plenty of us mature fans around. We're the ones that don't tend to post unless we have something of value to contribute, so we are scarce sometimes! We are here though! :D

That's it Willowy- mature... I mean I know I'm semi-young age wise... :lol2:

for the record (and for those who are too lazy to go look up member info :) )

I am 25 (but I feel 60!)

my goodness... 25 and an 'old fart'.
Double that and add a few.....

I'm a 30 year old mom too. =)

This board and the Lost fandom in general seems to skew to the over 25 crowd.

You guys are still so young!

But I know how you feel...

I'm 19 and am dreading 20, sad huh? :-\

I guess you could call me an old fogey. I'm 67 years young! I may HAVE to get older, but I ain't gonna grow up! So there! :lol2:

My sentiments exactly, Mygirl!* ;D

From someone for whom the age of 25 happened in the 80s.

24 and married hear. No kids though.

Guess you found out that ages run the gamut around here huh ? :lol2: LOST is the kind of show that appeals to people of imagination regardless of age. A few years ago you might have only seen the very young on a board like this but these days only the very technophobic steer clear of the internet....

Don't worry Pika, there are plenty of us mature fans around. We're the ones that don't tend to post unless we have something of value to contribute, so we are scarce sometimes! We are here though! :D


Or we're just shy and 'skeered' to post.* *;)

19 and dreading 20!?* I had the most fun in my early 20s.* Like Mygirl said, we all have to get older but we don't have to grow up.

For the record, I'm 28.* I'll turn 29 in February.

Wow, old at 25 lol. I still think of myself as "young as I was when I was 25" :) Tho I am only 30. Married, and planning on having kids next year so I hope I'm not TOO old yet :)

LOST is the kind of show that appeals to people of imagination regardless of age.
I like this show very much, but I especially like that my 18 year old son and I can both watch and talk about it in intelligent ways. I value those opportunities a lot. This was also the case with Buffy. It was almost a family night to watch it (and now Lost) together.

I'm 25. It's a good age, but I tend to like each year better (I was never much for "youth.") Looking forward to the future...

I'm 26. As for maturity... somedays, I feel like I'm 90 and other days, it's more like 15.

33 here...with 2 kids...sometimes I feel twice my age...other times I act half my age :lol2:

I know I'll probably have the most fun, I just know I'm slowly leading to the path beyond that lol.*

Hi, I'm an old married lady too :).

I'm 32, 2 kids (ages 6 and 4), married 10 years!

I feel old sometimes too, but I'm actually in the best physical shape I've EVER been in. The key is to do some form of exercise to get all the stress out!! Stress is baaaddddd! LOL!

I am 43 and loving it! I have no kids, but a wonderful hubby and two dogs that are my 'children' .
(which is why i wonder about the 'alex is my child' remark)

I'm 19 and am dreading 20, sad huh?* :-\


I'm the same way! I still have a few months left, though ... :P

Sweetie, you are still a babe!*
I'm closing in on 68 years and I still don't feel old!* Age is irrelevant.* It's how you view the world, throw away those cares an have a blast!* :-)


Mygirl

I am 29 but look 20...really. My genes don't allow me to age. Thanks Mom :)

Melanie- That's OK- I look about 12... :'(

People tell me I look like I'm in my low 30's so I'll just stick with that.* I feel even younger!
Of course they may be using Celsius or is it Fahrenheit?* * *:lol2:

I am 29 but look 20...really. My genes don't allow me to age. Thanks Mom :)


Hah! I look a lot younger than I am, too. I got it from my mom as well.

I look and sound (and act) young too. I still get carded and when ppl call the house they ask if someone older than 18 is home lmbo. It cracks me up and I ask if 30 will do. I don't mind, except that sometimes at work it's hard for ppl to take me seriously.

Early thiries right now, with one little girl. Turning a year older on Thanksgiving, though.

I can never remember my age, which my wife says is just ridiculous. But I can't. I always have to do the subtraction, and half the time I get it wrong anyway--I miss by a year or two. My thinking is that age doesn't matter--you feel how you feel; it is just how you are. That's why people in their teens feel like they are 40 and people in there 60s feel like teenagers. Age doesn't determine how you feel--it's just you.

But then, it is a little early in the day for philosophical thoughts on the nature of time--back to work. ;)

I get carded at the movies. I can't even go see a horror movie without getting my ID out :-\

I get that on the phone too : "Is your mommy home sweetheart?"
cracks me up everytime!!

I'm 53, married and have an 18 year old daughter off at college* ;D* ;)* Love the sites that have all age groups, more interesting.

I'm 19 and hope to never get older...things seem to only get crappier as you age.
*insert pathetic sigh here*

31 with two children. I used to feel young, till my 2.5 y/o started to drain the life out of me. ;)

Delete.

As a matter of fact, I am/did. I have an 11 week old now too. I agree, the more times pregnant and nursing seem to take a toll on the mind (however both are TOTALLY worth it). ;D

*insert pathetic sigh here*

nah... I wouldn't go back if I could. I like being an old far... uh, fogey. 8) But enjoy 19. and 20... and 21... they're all good.

I'm 26, with three kids: Ian is 4 (today's his birthday), Jake is 2, and Michael is 2 months, + 1 husband who is basically a child anyway.

I didn't nurse, and my children suck my brain cells out anyway, probably with some kind of psychokinesis. Sometimes I can't remember if I ate or not!

Stephanie

Pikameta,

Old at 25??? Shut your mouth, girl!* :D

I'm 32, and I'm in the same situation as mommamia - "I'm actually in the best physical shape I've EVER been in". I started training in martial arts about ten years ago, and I love what it's done for my body.

Jules

WHOOWHOO After being around some of the younger fan sites, it sure is nice to find more people closer to my age. My screen name says it all!! :lol2:

I am 43 and loving it! I have no kids, but a wonderful hubby and two dogs that are my 'children' .
(which is why i wonder about the 'alex is my child' remark)




Which is why I think Vincent is Alex!!!!


Oh..... and I am a happy 50 year old who doesn't act her age. Age is just a number to acompany all those other numbers in life.

Yeah but I'm like Toonces. I have a 2 yr old and a 4 month old and it's draining... I'm going with Sabrina on the swiss cheese thing...

:) meta

41 here and counting ... counting ... counting ....

Mommy make it stop!

Buncha youngsters!


sticks tongue out at Meta

My kids are 19 and 21. Hah.

I'm 32 years young ... but I have bad knees (so I'm sure there I times that I look like I am 110 when I walk down the street).* :lol2:

31 years old.
Married 8 years.
No kidlets.. :)

Julia, what kind of Martial Arts do you study?

I train in Seibukan Okinawan Karate.*

You are right, it has gotten me in the best mental and physical shape of my, albeit short life!


* :angel:

Hiram, what are you doing? Why are you wasting bandwidth to make your posts so huge?

Quit it.

Hey, I fit into this group - 36 years old, married 9 years, one kiddo! ;D

Smidgey- you make me laugh!!

:) Meta

I'm sorry Willowy!* I don't know much about such things.* Please forgive me!

I was just trying to get Julia's attention.* I promise it shall never happen again,

as long as I can remember not to do it!

Here's a stumper of a question, if I go back and modify
it to be smaller will that waste even more bandwidth?

Yours always, technically challenged, Glenn, . . . I mean Hiram, yeah that's it!

* :santa:* * P.S. Do Santas waste bandwidth too?

* Oh Julia are you out there somewhere?

* I was asking about your Martial Arts training!

* I guess you can see the above post better!


* :santa:

OK, back on topic:

* If one year to a human is five years to Vincent,
* how old are you in canine years?

* Didn't you just love word problems in school?


* :santa:

[size=8pt]OK, back on topic:
If one year to a human is five years to Vincent,
how old are you in canine years?


or you could figure it in James Marster's years.
back in the "old" days there was a great deal of confusion over his REAL age.
some fans on another board decided to figure out just how
some other fans got the age that he was supposed to be.

math alert:
you figure your age in years but you only count 3/4 of the year.
so if you were 40 your James' age would be 30. :P

add that to the Vincent age thing. ;D

what? i blame the late hour and lack of sleep. ;)

27, married. No kiddies...

But I do have a sweet little honey of a puppy.

I do like when there's a mixture... although, no offense to some of the older fogeys crowd, but I find that the reason there are usually fewer of you is because many of you are not of the 'computer generation'. Thankfully, my dad is computer savvy - but he's not into TV-land like I am.

My mom, on the other hand, loves to talk about Lost, but she's terrified of the computer. *shrug*

Point is, good to have everyone here.

-- Me

I'm 40, and am almost certain that I was the oldest person on another message board (for a show that is now off the air). For that reason, I now think of myself as "old". I agree that a nice mix makes things more interesting.

RE: word problems
They confused me when I was young, so just imagine how they now make my eyes roll uncontrollably in circles.

I think that's why i consider my self "old" in most fandoms I'm the old fogey- so I stupidly assumed that the true would be the same for Lost... good thing I was proved wrong and that we ahve a vast spread of ages and interests. and yet one thing ties us together...

Lost.

*sigh* Meta is content now

Full on pika! I've been surprized at the data coming off my age group poll.
A large percentage of the posting fuseleers are over 30.
I guess I expected more of a younger crowd and stuff.

I'm 27, but I post younger. :lol2:

Great thread here pikameta!!

I'm 36, married 15years, 1 boy, 1 girl, 1 dog, 1 cat, 11 fish, trying to talk the wife into upping the dog ante to 2 but it's not looking good :(

I sure don't feel 36 .. I'm a big kid at heart .. I use the children all the time as excuses to buy tech toys .. game consoles out the wazoo,
installed a network at home just to play pc games with the kids, hit the amusement parks for the kids .. etc etc my most used quote is ..
"no no honey .. it's FOR THE KIDS" and of course she just rolls her eyes.

I can feel my age only when I'm playing the kids in mutliplayer on some game .. was a time when I could beat them easily .. now it's ..
"aww come on .. give ya pops a break!!" :D

My sister is exactly the same. She bought Singstar for her son and she said she was a 'Singstar'. The reason I know she really bought it for herself?

Because when she came to visit me, she wouldn't let her son play on the game and I had to battle her on all the songs. EVERY BLOOMIN single one! ::) ;D

And my youngest is soon to be 41!* Now that's getting old.* I keep telling them they are adopted, because I'm too young to have children that old!* (don't I wish)* Go my Red Sox! I've waited all my life to see them win the world series! :lol2:

Add me to the 30-somethings. I'm a 35 year old single mom with a 10 year old boy (who is also a Lost Addict) and an 8 year old girl. I'm into my 13th year as a federal government slave for my beloved country but confess to sneaking out a few minutes early on Wednesdays so that I can catch the early satellite feed at 5pm my time :P .... girls gotta have priorities!!

It actually makes sense, Boomers created the web and X'ers made it big. We should have a good presence here!

For the record I'm 33, so is my wife, and our kids are 6, 5, and 1 1/2. We all watch Lost together, so that's a pretty good spread!

I'm 32 and enjoying single life at the moment. This is so cool to have people of all ages here.

I'm married with kids the age of most of you here. One son in the Air Force and a daughter in college. I also have a 13 year old here at home.

I got THEM into Lord of the Rings. I'm now trying to get them into 'LOST'.

I've never been a techno phobe and love the internet. We got on the compuer bandwagon early on. Anyone remember the Commodore 64? :laugh:

I'm glad to see that 'LOST' appeals to all ages.

I'm 43, married 18-1/2 years, 2 boys ages 15 & 11, 2 16 year-old cats, and 1 four year-old dog.

I'm old enough to have a 25 year old daughter who unexpectedly came home from many miles away for Christmas. She usually doesn't enjoy the same TV shows I like, but she watched all 11 Lost episodes with me and got thoroughly hooked. Unfortunately, she won't be able to see the rest of the season since she lives outside the country. I promised to tape...

Templeton

Hmm I hit 30 oh lets see about 29 years & 11 months ago:
Looks like I fit right in here :P

you're the only Old Fogey I know... LMAO...

hiya Fogey... *hugs* & :-*

you're the only Old Fogey I know... LMAO...

hiya Fogey... *hugs* & :-*
Hi Dia! ;D

48 and it's still a shock when I catch a glimpse in the mirror without preparation. The other day I was looking at "Classmates" (for you babies, it's a site to catch up with your former classmates) and saw a former classmate's age listed. My first thought was, " I didn't know he was so much older than me." My second thought was, "Nevermind, I'm that old, too"!
Time really passes fast......
I enjoyed my 30's most. Couldn't pay me enough to do my teens again. Twenties were better but life began at 30. Unfortunately, my early 40's were used trying to get a diagnosis for a rare illness and since then I've been learning to live a different sort of life than I expected. It's all good though. I've been blessed in many ways. ;D

Hugs to all my fellow fogeys!!!! :laugh:

Here's another old fogey ... I'm almost 38. I sure don't feel it though!! ;)

I LOVE your avie pikameta!

I'll be 26 tomorrow. I'm am a married lady with no children or pets yet. I do however enjoy being and Auntie. I do so love playing with my nephews and spoiling them.

Age IS a state of mind! I am 34, does that make ME old? naw...just finely seasoned and more aware of myself! :)

nope, i am 44, female, no children/hubby, but i have my pets, birds, cats and an iguana
but i have 7 nieces and nephews who are the best.

it is nice to know i have fogey company.

kris

I just ask this cause i'm married and have two kids and most of you seem to be young(er) ...

any other old farts ??* :laugh:

meta


Hey Pika, your only as old as you feel....and you don't feel old to me! I'm on the verge of 38 and have 1 rugrat myself......

I'm 43, married with 5 kids and sometimes I feel like an oldie!

Rumor has it I'm "older than dirt but still slightly younger than air" :lol2: I've seen a few familiar names on this forum already, so I'm afraid my "reputation" may proceed me. ;)


PS Anyone else having a problem staying logged in?

yes, i thought it was just me but i think we're all going insane with wait!!!!!!!!!
only 21 more agonizing minutes!

yipppeee i made it to coach! a little more leg room on it's way!

47 here, with hubby and 19 year old son and our baby, Shadow, yellow lab

Well, I am young, I am 23, BUT, I am married and have a child. So, I tend to not relate to my age group very well. :lol2: All my women friends are in their 30s.

I'm 29 this year, a preschool teacher and not married, no children(been working hard last 4 years to get my degree is my excuse!), am an Auntie to 2 children. ;D

30 with two girls and a hubby of going on 11 years!!! I feel like I just turned 20! Life is awesome when you get LOST!!!!!

You need to keep posting so I can ogle your avie!! tee hee. Very nice!!

You need to keep posting so I can ogle your avie!!* tee hee.* Very nice!!



i second that what a hottie!! :blush:

Welcome Kiwichick!* Do you say G'day in New Zealand or is that a strictly Aussie thing?

Lost NOB if you like her Avie, I know you'll like mine!



:angel:

Sometimes we say that but mostly just Hi! It's hard to say as my Dad is an Aussie so I grew up saying G'Day as well. It great to be here! I can't wait till I get LOST! Thanks for the great welcome!

G'day Kiwichick! How are ya mate?

I think we've met before! :lol2:

I think we have how are you mate! :lol2:

Definitely an old fart who's young at heart. LOL I have two older daughters who got me into LOTR and then LOST because of Dom. But now I'm hooked because the show is FANTASTIC. Haven't watched primetime TV in years. Sheesh, I'm old but I think I may have a crush on most of the actors on the show. God, what am I thinking??????????? My husband would LHAO.

G'day Kiwichick!* *How are ya mate?* *

I think we've met before!* *:lol2:




Thank you for getting me hooked on this Forum as I stole it from your website. I wanted to know what you were talking about, yaaaayayayayayayayyaay! Hope you are well sweets!!!!!!! ;D

It's good to see you here and that my rantings and rambling have paid off! lol

LMAO I love it here!

Lord, girl! What makes you think you're old? I'm 49!
It would be interesting to know who's the oldest poster on the board! :laugh:

Who you callin an old fogey, you old fogey?? :lol2:

I'm 32, married and slightly insane. If I could go back to any age it would be 20 something, post college, but only if I could bring my husband with me.

I stopped counting years somewhere around 5,000 which probably makes me one of the oldest posters! ;)

LMAO!! Married and slightly insane go hand in hand! I'm 31, married 7 years, and I agree, 20 something if he comes too!! Old is a state of mind, and seeing as I'm out of my mind, I'll never be old!

Lone, I had no idea you were an old fart like me the same age as me (48). We should declare this thread to only 30 and older and call it For Old Farts Only. :lol2:

Then I'll go start a "50 and Over" thread :P I know at least the Honorable Mr. O'Quinn and I qualify for that!!

I started a thread asking who was in their 60s & 70s, but nobody responded.
I guess that makes Fanofangel, Cranky old elf, & me the "Honored Elders of the board!"


:hb2:

I'm 46 next month not married and one son who's 21 in september.

Welcome to our Honored Elder club, Miss Emme!


:laughing:

Does membership in the "Honored Elder Club" include a discount card granting a price break on the cost of posting at thefuslage? Or an autographed picture of Claire/Kate/Sun/Shannon? Benefits like that might entice me into admitting to 60. ::)

I'm 32 and single. My mom (58), step-dad (49), brother (37), Aunt (61), and grandmother (82). All watch the show. There are more that watch in my family, I'm sure.

My 11 year old daughter might consider me old*at 29. Thanks to LOST we have found something to bridge the age gap. Now we both have a crush on the same guy.
