Random I know, but came up in a conversation I had this morning.

My own answer (after a bit of head scratching) was 17.

Mostly in childhood or adulthood?

I've seemed to have moved around more in the second half of my life. (I'm yet to live in a windmill).

Actually it was 10. Most were between 18 and 34. Then twice after that.

How often do you think of the Roman Empire in a day?

You've surpassed me in random.

(A few times yesterday however, as there was a documentary about Cleopatra and her rivalry with her siblings).

I just made a post about the Roman Colosseum in Debates.

Wonder if something's going around.

I'd say yes if you were working while you lived there and it wasn't a holiday.

This kind of thing does rather depend on my YouTube algorithms.

23, mostly before I bought my first solo place in 1976. Been in my present home since 2004 so I'm hoping I'll never have to move again. Too much stuff gets accumulated when you stay put.
