But belated by a year or two can be good

Then you can hope that they've lost count...

They've lost count?

I dunno. Better that _I_ lose count, I think... And probably more likely!

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Been there, done that

till my mom found out that I had been telling people I was older than I really was. For some reason she took exception to that.

Don't know how I did it, but for some reason I actually thought I was 2 years older than I am. This state of confusion lasted for a good 6 months before good old mom told me she didn't want people thinking *she* was older than she was.

I did the opposite

I apparently forgot I had had a birthday for about 6 months.

Me too, but with calculator. Result is too large.

I'm usually close.

Since if I'm out I'm out by 1, I just look at the odd/even of the current year to correct. With other relatives, I do a "round to 10" thing, since I remember people's birth years, and then correct offsets.

I remember offsets

And when they change.

Then I remember a single age - mine! :-)

Ah, all the advantages of a 0 offset.

All except for 6 weeks or so, all I have to keep track off is the decades. On Jan 1, 1940, I was 0+, in 1950 I was 10+, in 1960 I was 20+, etc. 2005, I'm 65+.

Hey, I can do it in my head! :)
