What age do you stop wearing nappies?

Anyway, many progratulations on this chronological waypost on your on-going odyessian journey towards ascension into the celestial pantheon as the new diety for silliness and cocktails.

Yeah, bloody ripper, mate. Cheers.

Old enough to do it, young enough to not care 'bout the consequences.
(FWIW, to contradict myself, a good friend once said she'd thought I'd been having a 40-year-old's mid-life crisis since about the age of 12)

I assume you mean "...thus far".

Same here - there's a few people I work with who are 40 this year or next, and are being real moaning minnies about it. I'm apparently making things worse for them by being so gleeful about 40 later this year 
I know a few people don't believe I'm that age - for some reason they peg me as 10 years younger.

I was often pegged below drinking age. I don't know when that stopped. Not all that long ago, I think, but I don't know what age people peg me at now. I love amongst too many oldies in this retirement town, and oldies tend to peg someone as a "young whippersnapper" to be condescended to if they still have their original hips.

I don't. I guess I must feel about 40 now because I'm feeling more comfortable in my own skin than I have done since pre-teenage. But... I find it hard to visualise myself as being a certain age. I'm just me. (The same goes for gender, too, bizarrely. I don't tend to see myself as female, just as me)
This just about sums it up I think.

It's an excellent summary, at least as empathised with by me.
