I tend to change ages depending on what situation I'm in.

I change where I am from depending on the situation.

But I am 41

I should've also asked: do you feel like you're part of your generation?

I don't, but as I go through my "What song are you listening to right now?" list, I'm feeling horribly, terribly entrenched in my generation.

Not sure about feeling part of my generation though, my friends are all between minus 15 to plus 10 years my age or so.  It was not so strange when people my age where getting married and having kids, but sometimes a bit strange when my much younger friends are now doing it.

As for music, though I have mixed tastes, I do not think I was ever in tune with what ever it was with my generation.

This.... but it doesn't seem to stop the behavior.

I'm 44, almost 45.

What I wanna know is, who's over 50?

Me, sweetie. I'm 58.

Been there, done that. The lucky generation.

Because my father (49 now) is so technologically deficient; I'm always impressed by anyone over forty who can use a computer + the internet. You are all awesome.

I don't know... I've been on computers since high school.  Back in the day when they used to teach BASIC programming and they thought that prepared us for using a computer.  

What good would it do us to be able to take apart a carburetor and put it together again when we don't know how to get the car into drive?

Wow everyone seems to be 44 today. Can I join in? OK no really I am 44, I admit it.

We had computers at high school (early 80s), a Sinclair ZX80 at a friend's house (ran on tapes) and learnt PASCAL and machine code at University. So computer technology has always been part of my adult life.

I am one of three.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
