> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by JillGat \* > \*\*I’m still trying to get over people heading toward 35 “feeling old.” I’m over a decade over that and I sure don’t feel old. I may not get carded for alcohol anymore, but I got called “immature” last week. Ya take your compliments where ya get em. - Jill \*\* I turned 39 about 10 days ago, and I got called “rambunctious” this year. 😃 **Jill** , if you’re immature then immature is the mood of the day. I just wonder, when they called you immature, was it because you were leaping around your place of business in unbridled giddiness, or because you were wearing your white panties with the word " Tuesday" across the bottom? 😉 Cartooniverse ---

I like your picture, and I would like to read your book(s) someday. Your posts make me laugh lots of times, and that is priceless. ----:)/ ----///\\ ---

My thoughts on jarbabyj… She seems like a pretty cool person and it would seem that many people feel the same way. She likes hockey and drools over Doug Weight who will not be playing here next year… fuck! She is one of the wittiest and funniest people here at the board and has made swearing an art form. She looks just like I pictured her. So if I can summarize; Witty, charming, creative, a hockey fan, foul mouthed, and pretty to boot. I can now add real and honest to the list of attributes. I like her. ---

[[I just wonder, when they called you immature]] Cartoon During an argument, I told a doc he “started it.” Jill oh yeah, then when he tried to defend himself I put my fingers in my ears and sang LA LA LA LA LA LA. (I now return the thread to jarbabyj) ---

**Jarbaby** , I’m pissed off because I wrote you this whole flowery post of encouragement and support last night, or rather, this morning, but it doesn’t look like it got through (it was 4-ish, 5-ish, I hazily recall a “Board down for maintenance” or some such crap.) Anyhoo… Honey, like everyone else 'round here, I really enjoy reading your posts, funny and serious. Unlike many, though, I’ve met you. That said, I can say with certainty that you, young lady, rock. I’ve got more I wanted to say, but I have this eerie faded memory of many words written last night so I think I’ll save my accolades for the next time I see you, Jess. ---

I’d add my vote to those who have already expressed how much they enjoy reading your posts. But then I realized that you’ve also been told not to care about what other people think. So I won’t. 😛 [sub]But I still think you’re nifty…[/sub] ---

Hey, **jarbabyj** , Rammstein will be at a little club just down the street from where I live on [July 24th](http://www.rammstein.ca/tour.html). Come on up to Minneapolis! And call me as soon as you get into town! ---

Ya know, 30 didn’t faze me, but for some reason, 35 is sticking in my craw. I’m at a bunch of crossroads in my life, and maybe that’s why it’s hitting harder. However, my motto is still “I may get older, but I refuse to grow up”.[/35 year-old hijack] Glad you’re feeling better, **jarbaby**. As the bumper sticker says, why take life seriously? You’ll never get out alive. ---

Ditto on reading every topic you start. Also ditto on the cuteness in the picture. And as far as the feeling old is concerned, I saw a 52 year old woman got carded this weekend. Granted, she was pretty pissed because she had to go clear back to her campsite to get her id, but still. 52. carded. hee. ---

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{jarbaby}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I completely sympathize with your week. Really. FWIW, I was disappointed I didn’t get to meet you when I was in Chicago this past spring. You seem cool, plus you’ve taught me to swear in new and creative ways. That, my friend, is a _ **gift** _. Robin ---

What did I tell you about feeling sorry for yourself? hmmm. Now your going to have to assume the position. Thwack! Thwack! now, carry on and behave. 😉 Good to see your back in a good frame of mind. And if you want to get on stage, you can get on stage. Hell, If I can do it, so can you!! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yes-yes-a-blatant-cry-for-attention/72414.md?page=2)
