Toastie Posted February 16, 2020 What??? Last post: May 12, 2018??? OK then: exactly 60 (EDIT: 51) min and I will turn 58 (my daughters are visiting ... and something is weird ... they run around and ... are busy with something ...). Began building with LEGO at age 3; my parents got me 323, the push along steam train. I have seen 4.5V, 12V, 9V, System, Technic, Code Pilot, all the Control Centers, Mindstorms (RCX, Scout, MicroScout, Spybotics, NXT, EV3 ...) and the bad years ... when it became all crappy ... and now PF, PuP, Spike ... And never ever had any doubt that LEGO will be what I will do when I retire. 9 more years ... I do it now, sometimes on a day-to-day basis, sometimes with months of ... just looking at it. My home office is my LEGO layout. Every single day I take the stairs and believe to be in heaven. Rock on, folks. Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the newspaper (top version) the most. For me, there is nothing better to begin the day with reading our daily newspaper. The "news" are always several hours outdated - but somebody actually thought about what they wrote. It slows down this crazy world a bit. Most of the things that I am interested in, don't need updates by the minute. Same thing with the weekly newspaper, which arrives Sundays about 9:30 am ... Thank you very much again! All the best Thorsten @dr_spock: Thank you very much!!! Have a very nice day, Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinusAndy Posted July 26, 2020 How old is old? I’m 45 but I have the knees of a 68 year old due to 39 years of skateboarding and the mind of a 12 year old due to my obsession with building things out of plastic bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinnacle Posted November 1, 2020 I Indeed, what's old? I was born in 1947 and yes, some people will think I'm old. So be it. But it has a big advantage: I had a lot of time to collect LEGO parts. Now I have a nice amount and build what I want. A boy’s dream come true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam Sinister Posted February 10, 2021 Yeah, maybe badges for young people too, even though I'm 51. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toastie Posted June 30, 2023 Oh man ... when did Covid go crazy? In Germany, it was about spring 2020 ... needed to look that up. Time goes by so slowly, says Madonna ... guess she's a bit off ;) So, for me, it is 61+5 months and some days and counting - and there were three posts during that "crazy" time - and one more after ... You guys are old, for sure. Old as in: Experienced. Mature. @evank: I am so happy that you are actively posting around here! I salute to the stone old, old, elderly, medium-aged, younger, and young people! All the best, Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ivanlan9 Posted January 16 How about 77? What do I win? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, in the 9751 challenge of @evank over in the former Mindstorms forum, the first place trophy was: "Bragging rights". I do not want to interfere with admin comments, rules and suggestions here, but: Born in 1947 (+/-) should definitely award you with exactly that! Here is to feeling and thinking young!

evank Posted January 26 1947? I was born in 1974. Transpose the least significant digits. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
