Old enough to know the score, yet young enough to play the game. (If it doesn't go past 9 pm)

Today is my Mother's birthday. Had she lived she would be very grouchy. (111.) She died young, 85. That's young compared to many of my ancestors; they lived very long lives. My Uncle told me they had to shoot his grandmother to start a grave yard.

I found that to be the case while she was alive! :-) BUT 29 grandchildren will do that to a person, I suppose...

83 in June

"I have led a good life, full of peace and quiet
I shall have an old age, full of rum and riot.
I have been a good boy, wed to work and study
I shall be an old man, ribald coarse and bloody.

I have never slit throats, even when I yearned to.
Never sang dirty songs that my fancy turned to.
I have been a nice boy, and done what was expected
I shall die and old bum, loved but unrespected."

Still going strong, but as my middle-aged sone reminds me, odor isn't everything.

The exact middle of the year is June 30/July 1. ????

There are 4 months with 30 days. Two are in the first half and two in the last half of the year.

There are 7 months with 31 days. Three are in the first half and four are in the last half.

The remaining month in the first half of the year has 28 or 29 days.

January through June is 181 or 182 days.

July through December is 184 days.

The exact midpoint of the year is at 182.5 (noon on July 1) or 183 days (midnight July 1 or beginning July 2). It's never "between" June 30 and July 1 (on the calendar).

#$!%@$ old people that forget how to count.

(Or maybe Steve's a kid that hasn't learned how yet? He's still one of the youngsters here.)

I bow to that, John. I worked it out decades ago when someone told me my birthday, June 15, was the exact middle of the year, being the middle of the 6th month. I knew that wasn't right so I worked it out. I posted without rechecking my arithmetic, which was accurate then but imperfectly remembered now! As for old people counting, remember there are three kinds of people, those who can count and those who can't.

When I was 30 I was feeling down, thinking I was nearly halfway through, then I learned that my great aunt was 90, and realised that I might have twice as much still to come, which really cheered me up. Sadly I am now definitely more than halfway through.

Having averaged the ages here with the children who have been born from the children of the people here over the last 10 years along with the number of children expected to be born over the next 10 years... the average age is 13.

Numbers are what we make of them
