[QUOTE=Inner Stickler] 19. (That looks weird. I still have trouble thinking of myself as an adult. I feel way too immature.) [/QUOTE] I’m 60 and still feel the same way. Of course, being retired I don’t have to act like an adult. A while back at the doctor’s office he asked me if I did illegal drugs. “Not for year,” I told him, “But I’m thinking about taking it back up.” ---

1 billion 315 million and a few odd hundred thousand seconds. Or, 41 years. Am I too old to add the “and a half” like we did when we were six? At what point is the cutoff anyway? ---

Dang, **fisha** beat me to it. Somehow, being the eleventh 38-year-old isn’t as fun. Still, this thread kinda makes me glad I had a birthday last weekend. 🆒 If you wish to indulge me, or are really super bored, you can see my birthday wish to myself here: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9IYF8cPvrw](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9IYF8cPvrw) ---
