I believe that the age levels for a mythbusters forum would probably be close, The show is great for entertainment and explosions are always nice...but what age do you think I am
I am 51, and like MythMod look "young" for my age. Though it hasn't happened recently the last time I was carded for alcohol was when I bought a nice bottle of wine for dinner at a local grocery store. When the cashier saw how old I was she appologised profusely. I told her not to mind as she had made my day

I've seen teenagers who could debate with the best of them
I've seen adults who couldn't argue their way out of a wet paper bag without throwing around curses and insults.
I've seen kids who couldn't spell, but had a great idea and just needed help to get it stated correctly
I've seen both kids and adults that just didn't care and did what ever they wanted to (until they ran afoul with staff.. ie, me) and kicked and screamed when made to follow rules.
I've seen adults so narrow minded that they report any thread that doesn't agree with their way of thinking - calling ME names because I allowed the thread to continue even though they felt it was blatantly in violation of the terms of service.
We have all types here. Just because someone is a teen doesn't mean that they're dumb and just because someone's an adult that doesn't mean they're all that smart.
We all have our areas that we excel in. If you ask me about computers or software, I'm the go-to-gal. If you ask me about car repair, you might as well talk to a brick wall. That's one reason why I love Google. No one is going to talk me into getting my muffler bearings changed! tee hee.

I do not believe it MYTHMOD you can not possibly be older than a very experienced 18 years old. I say this because all my 51 years of life no woman has ever admitted to being older than 18.
Flattery will get you no where - well.. it might get you a smile, a wink and a laugh!
I think I'm going to print that out and tape it to my mirror.
mnelson, I am probably unlike any other woman you know. I don't mind getting dirt under my nails, I find learning for the sake of learning a guilty pleasure and I'm smarter than many people around me. I only do two girly things - I am guilty of getting my hair dyed and my nails manicured. I don't wear makeup to work, I can build a wall to code and build computers for a hobby. I can trouble shoot most code. I don't expect people to do things for me just because I'm "a lady" - I know how to open my own doors and I can check my oil and transmission fluid. I don't subscribe to drama and I avoid it at all costs in my personal life. I am intelligent, quick witted (this is what other's have told me) and I can "run with the big dogs" in a lot of circles that are male dominated.
I do have the advantage of the social aspect that I do very well with. Not only can I get my point across, but I can do it in such a way that most don't feel threatened because it's a female making the point.
Story time - just had a 'gentleman' walk into my shop and demand to talk to the technician, berated me, yelled that he'd called and was never called back. I told him that the only thing he needed to do is either accept the estimate or reject it and take is dead Sony tv home. The technician doesn't need to be involved in that. He's looking for a majorly reduced repair bill which ISN'T going to happen. He thinks that he can talk the technician into that. Unfortunately for him.. *I* am the one who determines the estimates. He won't deal with me, he will NOT get a reduction out of the the technicians.
I'm not one to back down when I'm right. When I'm wrong, I'm graceful enough to realize it, apologize and move on.
I haven't seen 18 for 22 years.... I guess you could say I'm 18 with 22 years experience (if you must insist I am 18).
I'm proud to have made it to 40 - I was a very rotten and mischievous young adult.
Or call it the 22nd anniversary of your 18th birthday

Can we make preemptive apologies for later use? There is a chain of stores that cards you for every purchase no matter your age. Conspiracy theory as they record your birthday in the check out computer? There was a guy in PA I think, clean driving record, who told his Dr. he drank a 6 or 12 pack a day (I don't remember which) and did not drive after drinking, the Dr. reported him to the state and they revoked his drivers license.

I'm not up to date on US law regarding Dr./ patient confidentiality but, this smacks of law-suit.
Doctor-Patient confidentiality? What a joke. Every visit to your doctor is recorded in the medical insurance data base. That data can be accessed by any insurance company and is used against you whenever you try to change insurance.

mnelson10 is right. I know many women and not one, not even my own mother, will tell me their true age. By the way, I'm 14.
I know that some child's parents log on for them under their name and the child just uses it but never the parents. Thats what I hear from many of the people. CHEATERS! But I don't think it's anything bad. As long as they don't do bad things.. you know.. IDK
Hey I don't really know because I really like mythbusters and im a kid I don't really share my mythbusters love with my school friends 'cause they'll call me a nerd Not nice! sci-fi chick
