Yay for Teddy feeling better, and looking all spiffy.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

See if you recognize this commonly used phrase in my family's lexicon: "Why should I tell her?"
I am 55. My brain is pretty much the same the geeky, gadget-obsessed, cynical, snarky and depressed thing it was in my 30s. Sometimes my brain is 3 (I want that!) and sometimes it's 12 (That looks like a penis. That looks like a penis!) I do think "Been there, done that, the t-shirt is too small now" more often, and I don't have the rat-trap memory for useless facts I used to have. I think the facts are still there; the retrieval mechanism is just wearing out. However, my back feels 60, my hands 70 and my knees 80.

I usually get pegged at 5-6 years younger than I am, which is currently 51. I feel about mid-30s. I hope to stay feeling like that for a long time.
My grocery store cards everyone. I've gotten so used to it I always have my wallet open and waiting for the clerk to check my ID. OTOH, I was just at a liquor store yesterday picking up a bottle of Fernet for Thursday and the clerk didn't ask. Whether it was because I looked my age or not, he still should have carded, it's state law.

State law in NC is to card anyone who looks under 30. I suspect that a lot of people just card everyone instead of trying to make age judgments.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Does the last day of school before break make students extra-stupid or something? Because, ISTG, the number who have wandered into my lab today and asked if we have a printer while standing right next to the printer is just stunning. Especially when it's the first thing they see coming in the door. (If they even got so far as "is this printer okay for everyone to use", I'd understand. But...)

Huh? I rarely get carded in WI.

The law in my state says anyone under 35 must be carded for alcohol. And while you are not required to card those over 35, if you sell them alcohol without an ID its against the law.
This is what I found on Yahoo. Seems kind of like a catch-22 to me.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I usually won't get carded (well, I also rarely drink, so that might explain it), but when I get on the bus and asking for bus pass the drivers will assume I'm under 18, which get discount.
Being me, I correct them (23), and pay the full price (unless I get a student discount). I don't want to get a discount I don't deserve, and there are plenty of other ways I can screw society with. Lying isn't one of them.
However, I do have the urge to do something stupid these days and acting my age. I'm just too tired to do so, and well, kindda behind in Natter...
