What Gender Are Our Forum Members?

[Miss B]

You and me both Earl. For years I thought Sparky was a guy. It was only recently that I found out she's a girl.

Female, but I'm the awkward sod who always draws another box in forms which ask for my ethnicity and write 'human'. I think government bodies should be colour blind

For the last decade or so, whenever I have to fill out a form that asks race I always check "Other" and where they ask for the explanation I put "Meat Popsicle".
Thus far, no one has challenged it...not even the last local census.

*edit*
Just noticed a few posts later someone else makes the same reference...never claimed I was original though.

They don't really need to. I worked as a poll taker on the last census. Man people can be rude! Still, All we really need to do is confirm that an actual living person is there. We fill out as much data as we can, but that information goes to other things like telling the government the make up of the population, like age, gender, race. Frankly, I won't be a census taker again. We're sworn by law not to falsify any records. We can be arrested if we do.

Maybe we should do a poll to see the average age

Real or imagined?

 

[Rae134]

after looking at Jame's reaction maybe a secret poll

How about both Earl! My Real is 45 but my body feels 80 and my mind is 16 LOL

 

[Mythocentric]

I'll go for that Rae! Age 69, Body pre-Cambrian, mind probably!

 

[Bonnie2001]

We could do an age poll and anyone who doesn't want to admit their age can tick the poll but not post their age in the thread.

I see it's all even with the gender numbers now with 23/23.

 

[Bonnie2001]

I just put up an age poll here: What Age Are Our Forum Members?

 

[Miss B]

Uh oh . . . you think folks are going to tell the truth Bonnie?

 

[James R.]

I will say that I've been alive in 6 decades.

But I'm not in my 60's, nor am I in my 50's.

 

[Miss B]

Well, if you're in your 70's then you're in your 7th decade, even if it's not finished yet. After all, you said you've been alive in 6 decades, not that you lived 6 decades, or is there some hidden meaning I'm missing here? Hmmmmm . . . .

 

[eclark1894]

I'm 14 billion and a half years old. You didn't say how long I've been alive. But I've been around since the universe formed.

Yep, I've been alive in 6 decades, not for 6 decades. I wasn't around for much of my first decade, though.

LOL
Sounds like you are several years younger than me. I have been around since the early years of my first decade. Since I don't mind mentioning my age: I turned 55 back in June.

 

[Miss B]

Geeze, such a child.

 

[James R.]

You're correct. I'm 47.

And I have to paraphrase @Rae134: I'm 47, I feel 80 (some days...okay, a lot of mornings, lol), and in my mind I feel I'm still 16 (my grown up kids remind me that I'm not, though. Ha.).

 

[quietrob]

As to the original question. I'll make it easy to guess. My name is Robin. There! Easy! Another clue. I do have one offspring. I had that child with a person named Pat.
