BTW If you swivel your monitor the poll looks like a graphic equalizer.

I'll be 29 in Feburary. I think the only thing that makes me feel older is realizing that I haven't really accomplished the one dream I had at 16 which was to write that world famous novel. At this point, I think I'll be happy with just writing a novel that's halfway decent.

The only embarrassing thing that happened in regards to age. I went to the movies and I was paying with my debit card and the cashier asked to see my ID and I was like "I'm WAY over 18!" The movie was R rated. And she said "No lady, just wanted to make sure you're really who you say you are!" My husband of course laughed like a loon as I handed over my driver's license.

Please wait for the poll.
Why didn't you just take last year's poll and add 1 to the results?

I grow my hair until it annoys me, then I shave it all off. So, you'll usually see me with a mess of bathtowel-styled hair, or you'll see scalp (or intervening periods of hirsuteness).

The last time I was carded (for 18-and-over) was at age 32. Having an expired Learner Driver License on me, I helped the twinky doorman with the maths. I don't know at what point I ceased looking under-18.

Cheers,
Marc

Are you saying that you feel wiser, relative to us?

have you ever tried to use someone elses computer and it just doesnt work "right" for you? while they can come over and everything will work just fine.
That's because all the new tech thingies, become attached to their people and won't work (well!) for anyone else. Especially if the people they belong to are leftys.

PS Who say's 62 is old? I don't, I like it just fine.
