More like the fact that as of today, I am officially an old fart, cranky fogey, and a grumpy old man.

Wait, I'm confused, weren't you that already? Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
LOL. I just had my 29th (on the 3rd of Dec.)
They say 30 is the new 20! Does that help? It makes sense because mentally i'm about 19 (or less). Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
Anybody have the figures on expected life expectancy (ahem) of people round their 20s and 30s today? I heard (well, read, since it was a magazine) that women are 'likely to live into their 90s' and that seems both plausible and implausible to me. (Of course men are always 5-10 years behind, because so many more men work in high risk occupations...filter them out and it's the same, I'd conjure.) Anyway, I've known about a dozen people who lived into their 90s, and nearly everyone I ever knew who died did so in their 80s or very late 70s. But on the other hand, I've always heard the life expectancy is 70 for males, 75 for females...

Look at the bright side, in three years your member # and you age will be one and the same.
I wouldn't sweat the 30's, it is just like the 20's, save for the gray matter that is on the outside.
Congrats, may you look 40 in the eye and laugh in 10 more splendid years.

Besides which, 30 is respectable. Older people don't take 20-somethings quite as seriously..;P
