Oh, I believe you, totally. It just sucks that something so easy could take ten years off. I will not even go in to how magazines promote so many ways for a woman to look ten years younger. When I cut my hair, I think it makes me look older.

My son, he had a beard, a nice full one. He was only 17 at the time. A situation happened because he looked years older than he was. It was a traumatic experience for him and the next day he shaved and took all of those years off. Now, he shaves when he feels like it. I swear he looks like he did when he was 7. Really weird to sit next to him driving.

Capt Jack~ If you are like my Hubby, and hair takes a long time to grow back, I understand your reluctance to shave. He has Filipino and Indian in him, two very 'hairless' peoples. With age, it grows back faster but still not like my son.

still. curiosity may yet get the best of me. probably wouldnt bother me so much if I thought there was actually a chin under there.

I don't think I ever really young. Apparently I was born old.

Oh so many things I could post. Maybe when I am more alive. It has been a long day so far and it is not even noon yet.

I remember when we were celebrating the Nation's Bicentennial and thinking how the year 2000 was 24 years away and it seeming like an eternity.

You overhear a discussion of young people driving and hear a reference to kids born in 1991 - and realize that they're driving

Exactly, my MIL had a surgeon last year that we called Doogie Houser. I think that dates me all in itself!

Forget scoring the winning touchdown... you're a hero if you can score a shady table near the food court fountain!

....when the lines on my face are longer then the ones for the Finding Nemo Subs.

This Thread is so perfectly timed! I'm going through what I call a "pre-life crisis" dealie lately. I'm completely nostalgic for the 80's and all I can do is wistfully daydream about my carefree youth.

I found myself waking up Saturday morning and flipping on the TV in bed, which I always do before I get up. I stumbled upon VH1 Classics and shrieked like a giddy schoolgirl when videos like Headed For a Heartbreak by Winger and Forever Your Girl by Paula Abdul came on.

That's another reason I know I'm gettin' old. I turn it to VH1 & the current videos elicit nothing but bitching from me because every song "sounds alike & sucks". Where as VH1 Classics is totally groovy.

I still think it’s sacrilege. Men look much better with beards, IMO.
