God I’m terrible at this. The only ones I can guess well are the ones I already remembered from previous threads listing our ages.

[Here](http://www.image4u.org/interface2x/colin_December07_small.jpg) is me from a couple of weeks back. So adjust any guesses up by three weeks.

**Hazel-23,** gorgeous.

**Noone Special** 43 Nice beard, progeny

**Gail** -46 looks like you have a good sense of humor

**Octalcode** , 56, nice smile

**Revenant Threshold** -22 Self explanatory.

**fachverwirrt** - 26, nice look in your eye, a possible kilt is a bonus.

**CairoCarol** -48. I always imagined you as some uptight coiffed blonde. I like you about 140% more after that picture. Very nice looking, great smile.

**Chefguy** -62 Looks like a great trip.

\*\*QED \*\*41. Blue looks good on you. Pretty sure it matches your eyes.

**Interface2x** - 28, and soulful.

**Pixilated** -43- and that Demon looks rather evil. Eyes kinda freak me out…No idea who he is, though.

I wonder who has been the best at guessing ages?

Thank you! It’s one of my favorite colors, perhaps because it _does_ match my eyes. I don’t know about the accuracy of your other guesses, but you’re closest on mine, so far.

“Innocent or guilty”

That’s a “cat that ate the canary” look if I ever saw one.

[/QUOTE]

Well, I was going to write that I thought it funny that all the women were smiling, and you’re off a little to the side, looking like you were thinking, “Oh here is another interminable photo op that we must take. The 847th today and it’s only 1030AM.. Rocks, water, sky. Same as the 846th. It’s frickin Alaska, ladies, there’s nothing else here. Grumble, grumble, grumble. Ok, I’ll do the picture, but you women can’t make me smile, and I’ll just stick my hands by my pockets like I am going out for a stroll around the block…”

That cracked me up. Especially when I think you probably really enjoyed yourself.

Instead of that entire paragraph, and because I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska, and maybe to poke you a little, I said “nice trip.”

What is WTL?

Looking at some of the responses to my guesses, I think I need to quit doing this before you all get out the tar and feathers. Sorry if I have offended anyone.

I have gone and checked after guessing, and it does amaze me overall how accurate I’ve been. Some I still don’t know.
