Our wings are not tired.
I was still getting carded in my 40s, but it has been a decade and 50 pounds since that happened. I found it happened most often with people from other ethnic backgrounds.

"I thought you were 40, at least."
Does dude not understand that you always guess 29, at least until 50 is an obviously flattering underestimation?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously -- what is wrong with all these people guessing people's ages at 'at least 40'??
So I'm taking a Greyhound bus today. I bought the tickets online. Since I bought them online, they say I have to show up at least one hour early to pick up my tickets.
Well, in my experience, the pick-up machines don't necessarily work, so you might have to wait in the ticket-buying line anyway.
Also, why oh why did my big boss come into the office just now? If you finished an out-of-office meeting at 3 on a Friday, would you really go to the office? Annoying. At least I didn't get in trouble like I was afraid I was about to.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Cash, I think (would have to check to be certain) my uni computer store has nanos and shuffles at an academic discount price -- that is, I know they have 'em because I was just there a couple of days ago getting melty over the colorful cuteness of the shuffles, but I'd need to check on the discount. Even with shipping, they'd probably be a bit less than through a regular store if you wanted me to get them for you (unless you already have access to an academic discount).
I haven't been carded in many years, but last week I was out walking with Emmett and Matilda and we ran into a doctor from work. He stared at Emmett and said, "I had no idea you were old enough to have a son this big!" Uhmmm, not actually my own son, but yes, old enough and then some. He was slightly anomalous, though: people my age and older usually guess properly, and the underestimaters are generally in their 20s and younger.

I remember when I turned 29. Nobody believed that I was actually 29.

Odd, considering 40 is the generally accepted traumatic birthday among men. At 30 the red convertible and affair with secretary half one's age is still a long way off for most guys.

I get tired of people assuming I'm going to be coy about my age. "So, you're thirty and some months, right?" I look them in the eye and say "I'm 46." This is especially fun when some woman who's obviously older than I am has just gone the "Oh, I'm only 35" route. I get looks of such betrayal.
