If someone seems older than someone I could have gone to high school with (so, older than 28), but younger than 40ish, I'll just about always guess 34. (Although I just realized that last year, I usually guessed 33. So I think I'm just adding 10 to my own age, which I didn't realize until this second.)
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

No, it's a liquid mix. But maybe the proportions don't suit you so you should do the opposite and ask for extra mix.

As a friend once said to me - "Jars, you've looked thirty since you were six."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Dude, I've been like that since I hit 21. Most times I'm asked, I have to remember what year I was born in, remember what year and month it is now, and do the math.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Robin, OTOH, is 67, and unless you see her right at twilight, you can't hardly tell.
You can tell when I'm KICKING YOUR KRAV ASS.

If I only had a brain...
The mix is way tooo sweet for me. Which I hear is authentic: proper chai is syrupy. What I want is the strong spicy tea-milk without the sugar.

I think it's juliana, Jessica, and Shrift who always freak me out with how much younger they are than me.
I know! It's crazy.
I was startled to realise that Papa Roach are babies.
Really? How old are they? Because they sound older than they are, I guess. Both the singer's voice, and the kinds of songs they write make them sound more older rockers.
Edited for sense-making.

I think juliana and I are the same age. I don't really call myself young (she can if she wants to) but I don't call myself old, either. I only start to freak out when I think how long I've been at this job.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aimée actually pointed out to me that I said I was 33 somewhere on the board recently, but I'm not. I've hit that "I'm in my mid-thirties and I'll be damned if I can remember how old I am," stage.
As I've mentioned (all too many times, no doubt) my bday is September 11th. That whole year it was like I never turned 31 -- I kept forgetting and still said I was thirty. The next year I caught up.

I'm getting close to that stage. My parents, on the other hand, refuse to believe I'm in my thirties, let alone the mid-thirties. Mom says she is not old enough to have a daughter my age.
