BlueCat, I believe is younger than I am - younger than Gen X, maybe.

Thanks for underestimating my age, lol. If I didn't have salt and pepper hair, I'd probably pass for about 38 - but if I lied and said I was 40ish, many people would believe it. When I tell people that I'm in my early 50's, especially people around my age, they are almost always surprised because they thought that I was much younger than them.

To some young people (not necessarily you, slipknot), anybody that's over 35 is ancient. Walking behind people in the street, I usually pass them - even much, much younger people are slower than I am. I live very much the same way I did in my 20's - although I've got more bread now, lol. I'm also healthier, for other reasons.

My advice to the younger people: Save your pennies, don't live too extravagantly, think creativly, be original, and have fun - not necessarily in that order.
