De nadie, ni de mi. Pero es una mentira. Ya he dado mi regalo a ella.

Is everything after 21 that bad? Should I stop aging now while I'm ahead?

That might depend on how bad things were before 21. ;) At the risk of unintentionally discounting Menoly's wistfulness, it is not all about your age. It is about where you are at in your personal development and as importantly the direction of that growth process. That is my overly wordy version of "You are as young as you feel."
Auleliel wrote:Should I stop aging now while I'm ahead?
Not IMO, but there may be some money in it for you if you can tell others how to do that. :D

Happy Birthday, shadowstrike!

Dear gods, no. There's no effin' way I'd go back to being 21 again. Life gets *much* better. ;)

I hope so. 21 so far has been tough.

Ah, yes, 21...

For me that was the year 1991. A co-worker had just introduced me to online bulletin boards. DOS ruled the PC world. And I had yet to experience the 8-bit wonder that was Nintendo. I was just beginning my VHS collection, after grudgingly admitting defeat as a Beta user. Oh, and Arnold was still the Terminator back then, not the Governator.

Why do I always think you are so much younger than me MM? It's hard to believe I am gonna be forty in a week.

Because my posts show me to be naive, easily awed and tending to defer to the more learned and cynical grown-ups here?
