You know, a Southern gentleman like J.B. would have sent me a Personal message. I thought it was the French that were supposedly rude?
stalling... Okay, Poirot.... I just read through some more of your posts (I do my research before I make any bets) and I think that I may still be older than you. My confidence has been shaken, but only slightly.
I'm usually the oldest person in the room, so I'm probably still older than you, but not by as much as I originally thought. It's gonna be close. Some pop culture references that you've either made or gotten... now leads me to believe that your are in your early 30's. Originally I thought mid-to-late 20s. Now I think you're 31 or 32. Not 30 though!!! I remember 30 clearly. You reek of someone who is older than 30, but under 35.
(I was going to PM you my guess--- in case I was wrong and made you feel bad by my guessing too high;however, I no longer care. And more importantly, I think I'm right.)
Since you've thrown down the gauntlet... what's the prize. Is it like at the fair... where you get your choice and get a prize if you are either within 2 years or 5 pounds. Or is it only one year and 3lbs??? It's been so long since I've been to a fair or amusement park.
btw--- I always won the age prize. Back in elementary/middle school, they guessed too high. (Now a days, it seems all girls are physically maturing quicker... but back in the mid- 80's (hint), I was one of only a few girls who developed so young)
Later in high school/college, they guessed too low. I wouldn't want to play now. And we're definitely NOT playing the weight guessing game!!!
(shivers) I'm at the age that you actually start to forget how old you are. Maybe it's because you stop wanting to pay attention or you just have too much other stuff to remember.
I'm EXACTLY 10 years younger than my second favorite,
pretend-boyfriend, Johnny Depp.
Still stalling....I'm (drum roll please.....) 34.
I guess that's good. For a minute I thought I was already 35, but I don't remember turning 35... it seems like I'd have taken some ribbing about that in some birthday cards.
That is right, isn't it? Please hold while I do the math... '73 to 2003, 30 + 4 to '07. I'm 34. It's '07 still, right?
yeah, I think that's right... I'm 34.
Do I win something??? Have my powers of observation from years of working in the bar/restaurant industry paid off???
Am I way off? Do I owe you a copy of Casablanca? or Do you owe me some Specullos (sp???) Your town has the best, right???
I'll tell you what... if I'm right, I'll happily accept your praise for my astute powers of observation. (Which is actually funny, because I can be rather obtuse at times. "Master of the Obvious", that's me! A sarcastic nickname, though. Like calling the 450lb guy "Slim".)
If I was incorrect, then I'll still gladly accept your apology for asking my age. Either way I look good! ;D
(I'm actually not quite that old... Generation X... I don't take offense to being asked my age. Not nearly as much as razzing you about it, anyway.
)
***pssst--- but if you could pretend I'm right, even if I'm not, then I can gloat. I can mark it off my things to try before I die list. I never get to gloat. "They" say it's not nice to gloat, but it sure looks satisfying somehow. Stupid "They"! Thanks.
