How old are you?

I'm 29. I can remember the first time I ate (well....took a bite) of a jalapeno. I was 11 & at a friends house just down the road from my house. His grandpa had a garden & we went & pulled us off 1 each. I crunched into it & ran all the way home with my eyes pouring, nose flooding, & mouth burning like hell! :rofl:
 
49 for the rest of April then I hit the big five oh. 50. Hard to believe some times. Freaking time just went wooooosh and the older I get the faster it goes.

Still not quite half way yet as the plan is to reach at least 109 before giving up the ghost. Something I have to do.
 
im 43 and i only started really appreciating Habaneros last year, however i have a 20 year old friend that loves them also,so im not really sure its an age issue, i know in mexico they start eating them at a very young age and its a part of there culture,
aside from culture there is for some the "MACHISMO" aspect to consider and thats definatly not an age issue, well at least not for the most part some never grow up LOL im kinda there myself but i dont abuse myself

just my 2 cents
thanks your friend Joe

40. This morning feel about 60 though. :( Tore up my knee and the doc who operated said I'd get arthritis there much sooner than usual, and this weather has me feeling it today.

I feel your pain SD...its called traumatic degenerative arthritis...I cut my right leg half in two right in the knee joint 34 years ago and got the same thing...bone on bone in the right knee and I am just delaying a full knee replacement as long as I can stand the pain...since I don't run and play sports anymore, I may get away with another couple of years...

I might not be as old as you farts, but I can relate. I ruptured my biceps tendon in my "good arm" (not so much anymore) two years ago and blew my knee out four months ago. Working outdoors year round in MN has left me with arthritis in my hands so bad that I can only open them about 2/3 of the way. I thought I was pretty smart back in the day though when I was making good money while my friends were going to college. At 32 I think I'm going back to school...
 
45 till end of May. About four years ago when my wife cooked with jalapenos I complained about the heat. Now most dishes I cook are too hot for her...

Iam 34.. my wife 11 years older, we have never seen age much of an issue. she hooked me at your age. So speaking of age an when we fell in love with the important things in life.. for me Wife =23, Olives=still try them every time i see them.. no likey, Whiskey =sadly 18.. then a divorce, then remarriage but a long distance one, Hot Peppers= as a real young kid liked them.. then life got in the way culinary speaking and now back on super hots.. go fig.

to Quote Joe Dirte: " Life's a garden... dig it!" stupid but i got to admit love that one.
