Brittta,
As always I eat too much chocolate & am old.
SIGH (reaching for another Snicker bar with my
wrinkled age spotted hand...)
Home early after very efficiently wrapping up
friday's work....

okwriter (who figures everyone here is about her age so she is in good company)

Speaking of chocolate, does anyone have a favorite?
For instant gratification, mine is Dove, dark chocolate.

And I'll be turning 33 this month. I think there are a few others on here younger than that... maybe housewitch? Can't remember for sure.

Wait... by "baby", you mean age, right??

For the true chocolate experience, though, I go for a homemade flourless chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting. It takes all afternoon to make, and then has to chill overnight. But, it's sooooo gooood. We drink black coffee or sipping bourbon with it to help cut some of the richness.

FWIW, I am one of the young ones here. I'll be 29 in October. I tend to gravitate to the funny, snarky, intelligent people, regardless of age, in any group. I think I'd probably find most of you at demifloyd's party. I'd be the strange one lurking in the corner, though, as I tend to listen and watch as opposed to talking much at gatherings (see other thread about foot-in-mouth disease).

housewitch, I'm a big watcher too! I love to go to a public place and watch people as they walk by. A friend of mine (male, of couse) likes to play "How Much Would It Take For You To Sleep With Him/Her?!" For some reason, he'll always sleep with any woman for a LOT less than I'd sleep with the man!

I, on the otherhand, can't make an educated decision until the person in question has passed by me so I can get a full view of the situation ;)

Some rate a second glance, others rate the
'give us a spin' (for full view).

There is still something about a construction
site in the summer ....Sawdust & sweat...
Now you know why I am in this line of work!
Ok, it may have been a deciding factor in the
beginning, but now I am hooked.
Eye candy is just a bonus.

It was on my first construction job that I met
my current & last boyfriend (also known as SO).
He was the super on the job & I was the lowly laborer.

Chocolate math was right on my age I will be 44
next month.
I would like to think that age would not be the
dividing line if a group of us were to ever meet.
As the baby of the family I always had older
friends, this held true for my younger years, but now
my friends include all ages colors religons &
lifestyles. Being the non conformist that I am
this diversity is what makes life interesting.

Wouldn't it be fun if we all showed up for a BAH reunion without name tags and tried to identify one another?

None of you are blondes, right? hehe

I could be a blonde in three weeks, Britta, when I go back for my color...I mean, my cut!

Or birthdays. ;^)

You know what? The formula still works, only instead of showing your age now, it shows your age then. Just add three years if you've had your birthday, two years if you haven't.
