I_Am-aZon Posts: 893 Joined: 2003/02/18	2003/09/09, 12:55 PM OK, so I am not one of those people who look forward to getting older/getting wiser or however one wishes to soften the blow of increased age/wrinkles/gravity. No hero am I. I look forward to the 14th of Sept with about the same enthusiasm I have for a root canal....Actually a root canal is probably preferable. So this year I have opted to switch my years to American. Considering our Canadian money is worth only about 70% (on a good day) as American, I have decided to count my age in American henceforth. So instead of being mid 30’s I am back to my 20’s!!!….. I guess in a few years I may have to switch to Italian lira…..:( I can hardly contain my excitement...rah :P

I know how you feel about aging as well, but i figure the older i get, the healthier i get and i still get compliments on having four kids and looking so young so those keep me going!!! lol! have a great day! -------------- Bettia....

If you're worrying about getting older then you aren't enjoying being the age you are right this minute. And, you will never be this age again, so live it and love it. Besides we members of FT know that we will always 'look' younger than others our age because we have such a healthy lifestyle. Happy Birthday Lana.

I_Am-aZon Posts: 893 Joined: 2003/02/18	2003/09/12, 10:59 AM Thanks everybody! - I guess it could be worse, and I should be happy that I am still around for yet another year.(Even if it is just to bug RW, carivan, dp etc etc) gretch - it doesn't hurt all that bad, and my metabolism still seems as fast as it evr was (another thing I should be happy about) Merci tout le monde!
