I voted, but spouse falls in a different category than me!
Besides, you have the decades with out names.
0-12 your learning things sooooooooo...........
13-19 you know everything so we should hire you
20-29 you realize you do NOT know everything
30-39 you get old .....usually a kid or two around
40-49 you're really old, have teens telling you you know nothing
50-59 you get to live again, said teens are gone!
60-69 golden yrs
70-79 old fart
80-89 really old fart
90+ depends yrs, on whether you need them or not!
It should also be noted if one has kids a bit early or late in life, said decades do change a bit..........
Sorry...but I don't get these weekly polls asking for personal information. Why not ask sailing questions??
What kind of anchor do you have?
What's the longest non-stop voyage you've taken?
What kind of anchor do you use?
What's your keel?
How big will you next boat be?
Center Cockpit, Aft Cockpit, Pilot House, Deck Salon...which is best?
etc. etc. etc.
Yeah...I thought about that Chuck...but the response rates don't give anyything close to the demographic reliability needed. Better to do that stuff at sign on.
They may very well do that stuff on sign on, but by doing polls like this, they figure out "WHOM" is really doing the posting etc vs sign ons. So one could skew the advertising etc accordingly.
No that is not my implication, it is, while you may have a certain demographic of whom is signing on to post, but whom of that group actually posts is another sub group with in the BIG picture/group. Hence why cam is probably not sure that these surveys work for the big or small picture depending upon how the survey is used etc.
Well, I can give management a hint. Don't bother trying to sell anything to the 40 to 50 year olds. The ones with teenagers. We're using duct tape to patch the sails, clothes line for running rigging, substituting bondo for fiberglass, and cutting every other corner to make ends meet! I just want to hear from someone who knows how to explain to a teenager that the power button has TWO positions, and has done so SUCCESSFULLY.
I would have to say that I'm 61 but feel like I'm 40, I live on a 1971 36' Trojan Tri-cabin, sail a 25' catalina, and rebuilding a 1971 62' Benetti motoryacht.
Oh yeah and the reason I can do all this! I don't have a wife to drive me Dinghy.
I am 66. But, last Saturday, I went sailing with a good friend on his Sabre 34. He wouldn't let me do anything, instead he and his best friend from grammer school raised and winched in the sails. They are both 93. Yes that's right, ninety three years old.
Speaking of age and getting older, last year we had to deal with putting my wife's father into a nursing home during his last days. After that ordeal, my wife turned to our son, Alex, and said, "Don't worry Alex, when we get to be that age, your father and I will just get on Tamure, sail out to the middle of the ocean and pull the plug!"
Alex looked at her and said, "Wait! I have a better idea: why don't I sail you our there and drop you off!" No sense in waiting a good cruising boat.
I am 27 years old I don't own a house I went the sailboat route. It will be nice to live on cause if you do not like your neighbors its easy to move your house. Oh yeah I was saying that I am 27 and my girlfriend is in her late 40's age is just a number. She looks like she is in her thirties, is mature, no drama, knows what she wants. Its kinda nice to have a sugar momma(dad taught me that from an early age) I know that someday our relationship will come to an end but thats okay cause it is great while it lasts.
Actually, what I said is suppose to be "A man is not old until he stops looking."
