My mother is so insane about not telling people her age that I've gone the total opposite and will volunteer it.

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.

Jilli, so exciting! I have a couple of little emo/Goth clients! I can't wait to get a copy of your book for the shelter's self-improvement shelf!

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 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),

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.

My mom does that but totally as a joke.

we thought that she was kidding at first, we laughed. Then she said "no, I'm serious"

It's a good day in Florida too, a Miami judge has ruled against the gay adoption ban.

Fuck. The beefy guy mentioned in Hec's story here: Daniel C. Jensen "Coffee On My Monitor" Jan 19, 2006 9:05:32 am PST was shot & killed in my nabe last night. Fuck.

juliana, I am so sorry.

Oh. Dear.

Yes. We quickly objected, and she had the nerve to be disappointed.

Oh juliana that's terrible.
