Don't be sad Tsu, a lot of people in PF will be choosing the 50+ option.

Hmm...I only know my age in human years, and could probably adjust for dog years, but Earth years, that might put all of us over 50, right? :-p :biggrin:

All right I voted.

Hey, I just saw this. "50+ <= All members of sisterhood ;)" Yes, if you added up all of our ages, the total would be in that category. :devil:

Oh, you do not want to mess with the PF Sisterhood. :devil: Someone is going to get hurt and his name rhymes with dduardo.

Evo, I don't think that infinity is included in the 50+ category.

Oh, Evo, don't worry about dduardo...I started a Mac vs PC thread in technology to keep him busy. :devil: (Okay, not really, but I told him that's what it is so he'll have to keep an eye on it.)
