Well... Sep 5, 2018

Let’s say that now I’m a fit oldie, who once was a crying baby, never a naughty child or a rebellious teenager, but occasionally a cheery adult and a feisty mid-lifer…

Can we have a poll on polls? Sep 6, 2018

Can we vote on the dumbest poll? Seriously, these polls are getting dumbest by the day. Sorry guys, no more polls for me.

No harm with a little fun now and again. We don't have to be serious 24 hours a day. The polls are not all "dumb". You can answer them or not.

Fiesty Mid-Lifer Sep 6, 2018

I have found that life gets better with age, as I have learned a number of important life lessons over the years that have improved my perspective on things, so I am very comfortable with the age I am.

Great poll! Sep 6, 2018

Cheery adult, with a sense of humour, a quality/feature that is essential in translation to understand the (often) hidden meaning of other people's words.

We get a few grouchy colleagues (cry-babies) here, but they are the exception... So, for those, who

Why were the adjectives of children, babies, and young people all negative?

Feisty midlifer Sep 6, 2018

Or perhaps rebellious oldie would be a better description of who I am. I certainly don't plan to go gentle into that good night, but am rather looking forward to rage, rage against the dying of the light, to paraphrase Dylan Thomas.

Great poll Sep 6, 2018

Makes you think. Maybe my state of mind of the moment is older than I really am ... Why would that be ??

Cheery adult Sep 6, 2018

Since the number doesn't mean anything, I'd like to think that I'm still the cheery adult that I have been for several decades now.

Here’s how a simple quick poll turns out telling much about me: I was much happier in my 40s onwards than before…

Negativity is not helpful.
Why not suggest your own smart polls?

Dirty old man!

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with this at all. As soon I down tools (pun intended), I'm dying to get away from the effing computer and gird my loins.
