Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Jilli!!!!!!
Yay, Tom!!!!!
Today is a good day in Bitches!
It is also a good day at school. We're off the rest of the week, but midterm grades are due on Monday, so I'm caught up on all grading and just entered midterms and can have a 5 day weekend and not have to do a thing for school.
Age? I tell my kids I'm 72. Half of them believe it, the other half tell me I'm full of it.
It's weird, in the past couple of years, I've gotten to where I don't tell my age readily. I'm not sure why. I think maybe it's because I used to look a lot younger than I am, but my looks have caught up to my age in the past 5 years and that doesn't necessarily make me feel good.
OTOH, I see people my age and think, "Boy, I don't look that old." So, I think my vision of myself is a bit skewed.

Me, neither. Because there's a lot of age discrimination out there in the work force. Once you hit 50, you're not desirable anymore. Seen as too stuck in your ways and not up to date. It's one of the reasons employers can't ask your age in an interview, but your resume is going to give it away anyways.

My mother is so insane about not telling people her age that I've gone the total opposite and will volunteer it. My mother once asked me and my brother if we would mind if she told people that we were my father's children by his first wife (which is her), but would give the impression that she was the younger stepmother. I told her hell yes, I would mind. (the hell was implied, though)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My aunt so habitually lied about her age that she even started doing so to my mother, i.e. her older sister. I believe she'd slipped into the George Costanza realm of lying.

YAY Jilli and Tom!
I am 35. I don't look it, in fact one of my coworkers who is 25 keeps thinking I'm her age. I don't feel like it either. I've never lied about my age and I don't feel I have a reason to.
I have started noticing some lines forming on my forehead and when I smile,and when it freaks me out I moisturize and then forget about it.
When I was 29 I got a few comments/"jokes" about people asking if I was 29 for the first time. So I was glad when I hit 30 and was over that.
I quite possilby could freak out at 40. My grandmother said she didn't have a problem with her age until she hit 60.

My mom does that but totally as a joke. She used to tell us as soon as we hit 30, we were the 1st wife's kid. She still says it on occassion, but she is in no way serious about it.
