Thanks Rick.Rick_H wrote:I too was shocked...had no clue John was that young based on what work I had sent, hats off... I was put into a management position when I was 20 so I had guys twice my age working for me, gained/earned their respect.
Age is just a number. I'm 37 by the way....
Funny, I just had a big plate of them at our SB party....Braehill wrote:John,
Tell them the reason you stay looking so young is from eating bull stones.
If you spend your days doing man's work and acting like a man, then it doesn't matter how many birthdays you've had.
I'll take bits of knowledge from any source I can get it, I get computer advice all the time from people less than half my age and look up to them for teaching me, it's all good no matter the sources age.

Now look Jono, I'm not actually ashamed of my age, but seriously, what kind of guy would respect the opinion of a 17 y/o?Superiorwelding wrote:I remember what it was like to be a teen withing you were older and a little ashamed of your actual age. We all go through that John. There are days I wish I was 40 when I don't getthe respect I feel I deserve in certain situations. I am 28 and proud of it. Can't change it, can't rush it, it is what it is.
BTW, John is 17 since he won't share his age. There is no reason to be ashamed nor not willing to share how old you are John. All we have to do is look back at your threads and we can see everything you have done at such a young age. I will admit, before we befriended each other I thought you were my age, expecially from your voice. You are right Mick, for 17 he knows a lot more and has done a lot more than most his age. I wish I had his experience when I was 17, imagine what I could be today! Ok, I might have opened myself up with that comment.

Thanks Willie.Bill Beauregard wrote:John,
I was young once. Often, I was annoyed when people wouldn't treat me like an adult. I was elected selectman in my small town at age 18. A year later the Town Clerk, and Selectboard Chair had a spat, the Chair resigned. The third selectman was not in a position to take over. At 19, I was the primary decision maker for the town government.
Hang in there, make good life decisions, do nothing you could be ashamed of, work hard, respect will come with it. I'm pretty sure you are well on your way. May the force be with you!

We're just playing.
You've earned your respect here.
Looking young is just something you're stuck with until it changes, and I wouldn't wish any hurry on that to anyone.
