Robin, OTOH, is 67, and unless you see her right at twilight, you can't hardly tell.

You can tell when I'm KICKING YOUR KRAV ASS.

The mix is way tooo sweet for me. Which I hear is authentic: proper chai is syrupy. What I want is the strong spicy tea-milk without the sugar.

I think it's juliana, Jessica, and Shrift who always freak me out with how much younger they are than me.

I know! It's crazy.

I was startled to realise that Papa Roach are babies.

Really? How old are they? Because they sound older than they are, I guess. Both the singer's voice, and the kinds of songs they write make them sound more older rockers.

Edited for sense-making.

I think juliana and I are the same age. I don't really call myself young (she can if she wants to) but I don't call myself old, either. I only start to freak out when I think how long I've been at this job.

Aimée actually pointed out to me that I said I was 33 somewhere on the board recently, but I'm not. I've hit that "I'm in my mid-thirties and I'll be damned if I can remember how old I am," stage.

As I've mentioned (all too many times, no doubt) my bday is September 11th. That whole year it was like I never turned 31 -- I kept forgetting and still said I was thirty. The next year I caught up.

I've hit that "I'm in my mid-thirties and I'll be damned if I can remember how old I am," stage.

I'm getting close to that stage. My parents, on the other hand, refuse to believe I'm in my thirties, let alone the mid-thirties. Mom says she is not old enough to have a daughter my age.

juliana is, like, 4.

You know, I can now see it.

Pffft. You're just jealous 'cuz I can run longer than y'all.

Which I hear is authentic: proper chai is syrupy.

Huh. I've had supposedly-authentic that is indeed sweet, but also so spicy that it will knock your socks off. I love it.

edit: sarameg is correct - I'm a mere 10 days or so behind her. I sure as hell don't feel young. I'm constantly surprised that I'm not in my 30s yet.

What goes into a Starbucks chai latte? Well, how much of what? I will be ordering one in about 20 minutes, and the barista is a flake.

IIRC, it's 1 part chai mix (liquid, not powder), and 2 parts steamed milk. Unless they've changed it. There should be a how-to book somewhere in the back, if not right behind the bar, which contains all the Starbucks drink recipes.

My mother always says that I was born with a mental age of 47, so really, I'm much older than you.

Dude, I've been like that since I hit 21. Most times I'm asked, I have to remember what year I was born in, remember what year and month it is now, and do the math.

I totally do this, except I have to ask what year it is because I don't really pay attention. My mental age changes so slooowly, like 5 to 1.
