Well I stayed up late last nightmakeing a long list of guesses. I check back tonight and they are all wrong, so I won’t make anyone mad by listing them. Although many were low. All who guessed at mine were low 😃 , just not low enough. 😛 Why do I seem to be the uglist one here? It must be the Manson pic. I’ve just turned 43 BTW. ---

[QUOTE=Miss Purl McKnittington] Bleu cheese is beloved by millions. [/quote] Touche. > [@](#): > > They’re so easy! The biggest pain is sleeping on them all night and getting the back of your head done. I used this guide for mine. The first time you do them, you’ll want to do it when you have no commitments the next day, just in case they go wrong. If it’s too horrible, you can just wash your hair and try again. Well, you’ve inspired me - I’ll put them up tonight, and if they look okay I’ll post pics tomorrow morning. I hope they look presentable, at least, because I was planning on going shopping tomorrow morning. Wish me luck! [/hijack] ---

All my guesses were wrong. I won’t post them,so as not to embarass myself ( as if my photos didn’t already ). I just turned 43 the week before christmas. ---

I have guessed on 18 posters that have revealed their age. No exact matches. 1 year off- 6 guesses 2 years-5 3 years-2 4 years-2 5 years-2 7 years-1 Not too shabby stats. I am 38. I’d put it in a spoiler box, but I don’t know how. Oh well. Thanks to every single one of you who underestimated my age. ---

[QUOTE=fisha] I am 38. I’d put it in a spoiler box, but I don’t know how. [/QUOTE] Wow, I was _way_ off. But, most folks underestimated my age, too. I am: 42 - I still don’t know the meaning of life, the universe and everything. And finally, a spoiler box lesson, just for you: Text to spoilerbox ---

[I’m the one on the left,](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b75/anyrose/me/me-and-mom.jpg) on the right is my mom who passed away in 1991. I just think I look very much like her in this (lefthand) photo, taken in August 2007. Some of you know how old I am . . . the rest of you, care to venture a guess? I’ll wager you’ll be wrong. 😃 😉 ---

[QUOTE=TroubleAgain] You are SUCH a sweetie! **Pixilated** , that’s sweet, but I’m disgustingly happily married. 😃 [/QUOTE] That’s ok, you are probably too good for him anyways 😃 Your SO is very lucky My DOB is listed on my profile. I do not photograph well, and fortunately most people think I am in my early 30’s when meeting in person… probably helps that I sound young as well. With that said: 37.5 yrs. I stopped having birthdays when I turned 35 but I havent found a sure way to falsify legal documents stating otherwise. ---
