SWEET! So, WHAT'S YOUR POINT? (*Kids*. Jeez... )

I really figured you for being in the mid-30's tops.
(nice back-pedaling job!)

Hey, you kids! AGE IS MEANINGLESS! How many 50 year olds do you know who can even get UP on a water-ski, much less ski like mad, crash and burn (what happens when I go too fast - which I LOVE to do! ), and get right back up and ski some more?! Oo. Bruised my rib pretty good that one time, though.) HUH? Answer THAT, you young WHIPPERSNAPPER.

No, "Go" as in "Way to go!", a comment on your impressive water-skiing skills :smile:

I understood. I just have this warped habit of twisting meanings around to whatever is funniest (in my own whacky little brain anyway). Sorry. Once again, I'm the only one I've cracked up...

Yes, I DID already go. I won't have to go again for awhile, now.

I look younger than most women in their 30's. I've always gotten hit on by "much" younger men. Yes, I'm a cradle robber.

Senility creeping in?

I should talk, you only got me beat by 4 years (I think), I can never remember how old I am. My wife asks me periodically in front of people just to watch me say, "45 I think, no wait, 46. I don't know. I was born in 1957." She gets a real kick out of it. I was just as bad when I was 15, (or was it 16?)

Well, my family pretty much tells me I was BORN this way, but, since I've had a 30 year career in x-ray, I'M thinking it might be the RADIATION!

You seem young enough to me Tsunami. As long as you can still do the things you enjoy such as water skiing, you're only as young as you feel.

Personally, I feel like a twenty year old,

but my wife won't let me have one!

Well, chronologically I'm 40, but since my daughter was born I've been aging double speed, so ... 47.

Not really anymore. I went to visit my cousin in Hawaii in Sept. and I was going to surf with him, but the coral beds and wave size made me decide my body wouldn't come out of it in very good shape. So we just snorkeled and lay on the beach and read, and then jumped onto his motorcycle for some up country exploration. Then some nui nachos with our Bloody Mary's... Dang. Wanna go back.

Youngsters each and everyone of you.

Tsunami, you really 50! Relax, I got you beat. The year 2000 was a real turning point in my life. Up that year I only had to subtract 50 from the year to get my age. Now I add 50, just don't seem right.

Was that skiing pic taken on Greenpeter?

Yes, Integral. I'm blackifty. But I run the full gambit of ages that I act and feel - from 5 to 105!

They are places; not things or people.

I want to know who names these places!

I've sold my soul for the women but the demands just keep coming and coming!



Okay, not really. I highly recommend airmiles credit cards that are paid off each month!

We buy everything that way.

I think it's the same guy who named "Bird In Hand" and "Intercourse," which are very close to "Paradise" in PA.
