Don't worry Saint- when my husband met you, he refused to believe you were the oldest of the group.  Or had three kids either.

Fuzzy, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to take comfort in that. Besides, I'm pretty sure wehn he met me, I only had 2 children, the third one having been born just this past summer.

While in school in NC, when I was in my early/mid-twenties, I got accused of looking like a 14 year old. So I feel old, and look immature. <sigh>

Oh no, he didn't think you looked immature, he thought you acted like a young man with no kids.

;D

I guess this is supposed to make you feel better because, no matter how chronologically old you are, you're still cool.  You haven't sold out to THE MAN or whatever it is that us young'uns fear so much.

Young people still sell out, but they do it to THE BOMB instead of THE MAN. Same difference.

The only reason I have sold out to the man is because he hasn't offered me any money.

I am just trying to cheer you up because I think you're cool.

Hum.  I'm turning 28 in a week or so.  Not as old as SE, true--but I don't have the wife, let alone the three kids.  Maybe it's time I started looking into this 'marriage' thing that people keep talking about.

Take your time, though.  I was nearing 30 when I got married, and was nearing 29 when we started seriously dating.

I think that EUOL is the person I'm least worried about marrying someone hastily, and without forethought.

Hum. SE is nearly twice as old as i am. The man is an old fart. Although i will allow that he is well preserved.

So, i guess its a set of dentures for your birthday then?

Happy B-day BTW.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

You know, I'm not so sure about that.  Sometimes, I long for the days of arranged marriages.  Maybe I should pull a move like Isaac from the Old Testament and just send someone out to find a wife for me.  I'm sure Fuzzy, Brenna, and MoD could contrive someone suitable for me. ;)

Don't tempt us, EUOL.  If you ask us seriously we just might.
