Poll Question:
Time for our every-8-or-9-year demographics poll!
What are you? A SYMT? Or, a GGGG?
Not sure what that even means?  See This Thread!

OK, Rich... what were the demographics when we originally had this discussion? Is our group aging? Or are we gaining younger members faster than we oldsters are falling off the top end? You are officially a GGGG now, aren't you? Welcome to the best group!

Well Rich, I have 6 grandchildren and one great grandchild, so I guess that makes me a GGGG. The SYMT days are long gone, but I am enjoying myself more now than I did in my younger days!!! 
Love,

Sooooooo after 5 long years of wondering what GGGG and SYMT are, I find out today! I'm not sure how to celebrate it... maybe just with a smile I guess. :-p

Although I look forward to the GGGG days, I'm not quite facing empty nest syndrome yet, so I guess I'm on the fence! 40 is always the middle road, isn't it? Have a great day everyone!

Oh, Nathan, you are definitely a SYMT. And you will be until you are 100 years old!

Well... much as sit pains me to admit it (MUCH pains me these days! The arthritis, the osteoporosis, the... ) I have to admit to being a GGGG!! I AM a Grandma... but... she is SUCH A WEE, LEEEETLE granddaughter, she hardly qualifies!!! So... I was TEMPTED to put 'in the middle'...
But as Chris pointed out, the GGGG'S really ARE 'the' best group to belong to! After all, we may have problems, but... it's a WIDE VARIETY of problems! And... isn't 'variety' the spice of life???? Hey, if ye've still got 'spice' in yer life, there ain't nothing coming over ye, is there????? 
Kate (who WASN'T a GGGG when she first wandered into Mohicanland! Hmmmm... I wonder if that's significant??? ) |

Since I ain't a grammaw yet (even though my two boys ARE old enough to make me one), but I sure as heck can't qualify for the SYMT category...can I be a SAMT?? Sweet AGING Mohican Thing??
Or ask my hubby and he'll tell ya the truth. On some days it would be SURLY Aging Mohican Thing!!

I reckon I am on the fence for now.
But I think I could still do a forward roll as well as Chingachgook.

| Satchel Page once said "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?" So, since I can't remember my birthday anymore, I guess I must be SYMT. |

| Think we need a third category. SAMT Sweet AGING Mohican Thing is a great idea. |

| "SYMT" reminds me a little too much of the Michael Jackson hit "PYT". Can I just be an MT? It's got the added bonus of being the abbreviation for "mount" ... Mt. Beth! Now, doesn't that have something going for it? |

Chronologically speaking, I am somewhere in-between; but as for 'wear & tear' I am definitely closer to GGGG. Not so much for the production year, but rather for the mileage...

I like the SAMT too! Guess I still have a couple years to go before I feel comfortable in the "granny" category, although I'm old enough to be one...:-0
And I do sometimes refer to myself as an AFC "Aging Flower Child"! Lol |

I am on the fence for a while longer. My wonderful older daughter is going to make me a grandmother for the first time around Thanksgiving. What better time for the gift of life?

Even when I need to get around in one of those scooters to get to the dining room in the retirement center, I'll always be a SYMT!

My son just met a new young woman, so I'm hoping it's still a LONG time before I become a granny -- at least a couple years. But I prefer to remain on the fence for a while even afterward. I have too many places to see and people to me!

Chris, I have no idea what the demographics were around here back in '97. I can't remember. Further proof that I really am in the GGGG group now! |

You’re as young as the person you feel….so they say,
OK, so this doesn’t help me so I guess I am not quite a SYMT and almost a GGGG!  |

Well, in spirit I'm a SYMT,
but running around after my kids makes my body sure feel like a GGGG! |

Oh, Lord -- how well I remember that historic (more like hysteric)
thread! I was plain "Mary" then, as that was even before the Fabulous
Doc M was born...or hatched, or whatever terminology you choose.
Those were the days when I had to put a towel on my office chair
to keep from peeing all over the floor from laughing. We had a
great bunch of bizarre, cranky, funny old so and so's posting then,
and I miss them.
Doc M -- GGGG and loving it!! |

Hey, Doc M, I'm still here! Those were crazy days. Somehow we haven't hit the right chemistry for awhile. One of these days it will hit and we'll be out buying Depends again.
