They say age ain’t nothing but a number. And, here are a few other things they say about aging: Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act. Truman Capote Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Samuel Ullman You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. Author Unknown [One] is not old until regrets take the place of dreams. John Barrymore The idea is to die young as late as possible. Ashley Montagu. True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country. Kurt Vonnegut.
They also say: Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. Mark Twain The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it. Arthur Schopenhauer One of the best parts of growing older? You can flirt all you like since you’ve become harmless. Liz Smith Old age ain’t no place for sissies. Bette Davis Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Henry Ford How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were? Satchel Paige.
The last quote is a question. How are you old? Take this test and have the Grim Reaper guess your age based on your answers to questions such as “Do You Have Pimples”. On the opening page, you don’t have to provide your real email address if you don’t want to. There are no real prizes involved, but the test is fun. How old are you? Take the test to find out.

The Grim Reaper incorrectly guessed my age as 27. I am 33. Makes me feel really good – especially since as I handed a mat to a “girl” in my exercise class last night she said “oh thank you ma’am.” Ma’am! Who the hell . . . oh, she’s talking to me. Ewwww.
It missed me by 7 years. For some reason I feel old now.
Blogger’s word verification is screwed up today. It took me forever to post a comment.
It guessed me absolutely right!
Freaky…
It guessed me at 27. It made me happy because I’m 29! Yeah!
The Grim Reaper guessed my age to be 48. I’m actually 46, but sometimes I feel 50, so I guess I average out about right.
all I can say is THAT WAS CREEPY!!! It guessed my age perfectly! there has to be some trick…Ill figure it out one day….
The Grim Reaper underguessed by 10 years! Yippee! I know I threw him off because I skip and climb trees regularly.
I’m 23! I think that may be because I also hop and skip and climb trees. (well…. used to climb trees when they were available)
I’m 31 and it said I was 22!
…but like pegs, I too climb trees and skip.
Nerd Girl: Really?!?! They guessed you older? No worries. It just means you’re mature.
AWE: Don’t freak, sweetie; you’re only as old as you feel. :)
Darwin: They guessed your age right on the nose? That is freaky!! :)
MamaChristy: Seeee, even the Grim Reaper Test knows you’re young in spirit!! :)
Mel Chickk: The test is genius, isn’t it? :)
marie_butudontknowme: Wow!! I’m surprised that it guessed it exactly right for both you AND Darwin. Good test, huh?
Pegs: I’m not surprised. Baby, I all ready knew you’re young at heart!! *smooches on the lips* :)
ET: I’m a year older than you for the exact same reasons.
Stacy: That’s hilarious! :) And, they guessed you to be even younger than they gueesed me.
it missed me but only by one!
(I think it’s because of the occasional pimple)
I get them too! Someone needs to come up with a cure for pimples. :)
