I'm 30.
Adding more words because apparently "I'm 30." is too short to submit a reply.

I just turned 32, but as I checked that group, I saw 40, and though it still seems so far away, this was kind of a reality check. I have to admit, I felt the opposite of Little Diamonds. thank you for including 40 in the 31-40 range.

I swear I hate checking that 40-49 box on things just cause I had a birthday a few months ago, LOL!!!!!! I did not even think about that...I am 40, as well, so I guess it was a subconscious choice....

Wow!! I didn't know you could work in a daycare at the age of 14. I always thought you could start working at age 16 yrs.

Who you calling old? Old lady! (43 but feels like 73 on a Friday!)
I am 43 (come October) but honestly do not feel any older than the day I opened! No aches and pains yet...and plumbing seems to be working the way it should be.
I also remember everyday exactly where I put my keys (even if it is in the fridge..
) so I figure I am still working my way UP the hill.

Same here. I'm just now starting to look my age (29). And honestly, now that I no longer look like a teenager, my confidence has boosted, allowing for a stronger backbone. I'm an adult darnit! I'm 24 and was 23 when I started...I look about 16 so some parents give me crazy looks
