[QUOTE=Miss Purl McKnittington] **gigi** , ma petit chou, it looks like you got lost in the fooferaw. I will guess you to be in your late 30s, which naturally means you are actually either 78 or 29. [/QUOTE] Well done; that was during a trip over my 37th birthday. I’m just nine months shy of 40 now. :eek: I think being fat smoothes out the wrinkles. ---

These threads are great for those voyeurs amongst us. And, for all you shameless exhibitionists. I love you all. Except for Sublight and HazelNutCoffee (who I’ve met), and TroubleAgain (who is on virtually every other board and in every other forum that I participate in), I’m going to guess… 14-59 for you all. Ta da! WhadidIwin? ---

Just for giggles, since I’ve already posted my age upthread, [here’s](http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmrocher2001/2051864219/) a photo of my after shaving off my beard, taken less than two months ago. Many people said it makes me look a lot younger. ---

Cheers for all the guesses, everyone. I’m glad I put the the answer into a spoiler. Either that or I just insulted everyone with my guesses, but hey, what’s a thread like this for? ---

**Staggerlee** , I must compliment you on your eyebrows. 🙂 Wow. I never thought I looked my age but I wouldn’t have guessed I looked older. I don’t mind it though. I’ve always acted older than my age. I’m actually 25 but was 24 in that photo. ---
