Pretty certain God limited man's years to 120 after the flood, but I could be wrong ...
Genesis NASB
3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh ; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."

Then again, maybe not. :biggrin
 
Still standing at 46. I waited until this thread filled up a bit so I could feel younger when posting.
 
God willing my grandmother will turn 102 this year.
So if any of you feels old - think again. :lol

The generations of my family are far apart from another, my grandmother was >30 when she got my father and my father was 40ish when he got me. So now you have an approximate idea of how old I am.
 
Be 52 on April 19. I've got a brother who turned 31! Nothing like being 20 and having your father tell you that your mother is pregnant!!!
 
I know what you mean, mcmurry. I have a sister that is 20 1/2 years younger than me. She graduates from high school this year. She was born at a time when some of us were starting college or moving out, but noone had gotten married yet. We jokingly tell people that my mom was getting impatient waiting for us to start shooting out grandkids so she started making her own.

Flash forward 18 years later and they now have 15 grandkids, the oldest of which is in his first year of high school.

Yeah, going to town with your 15 y.o sister and 6 month old brother and having little old ladies come up and say, "Y'all are such a nice couple! Is this your first child?" Really makes your day!

Ha, and seeing you are from Arkansas, I am sure that was a bit more nerve wracking than normal.

Another true story, which caveats into the story I already shared: A few years earlier we were all sitting at the dinner table and I looked at my mom, who had this kind of "look" about her. I look over at my dad, then back at my mom and ask, "Mom, are you pregnant?" They suddenly share this knowing look, and thus I "predicted" the birth of my second youngest sister.

Flash forward to when my parents announced my mom was preggers with my youngest sister. We are all out in the backyard, days before my oldest sister was about to leave for college, and they announce that my mom is 5 MONTHS PREGNANT! Of course everyone looks over at me as if I should have known, and of course noone had noticed before then.

Ah the joys of growing up in a big family.

BTW, getting back on topic, if I haven't contributed yet: 38 years old, will be 39 next month.
