I just have not gown up yet. I refuse to on the grounds that it was not in my contract to grow up when I signed onto this body 44 years ago. Yes, I am young in spirit because there is so much crap to do in life that I simply refuse to sit around and watch it go by.

I registered on these boards when I was 44 & I'll be 46 in September. I still think of myself as 30-something. Don't know if that's bad or good...
