Pfft. Who are you trying to fool. Either that picture is way out of date, or you are more like 30.

I could lie and say "aww, thanks! It's due to pure thoughts, clean living, and Linux!" But it is an old picture :)

Ripe old age of 50?

Sorry, little girl, there is no ripe old age of 50. Sigh. I guess that's the way it always is with you young chicks. "I'm so old! I'm so fat! I'm so annoying to anyone who wishes they were as young and as thin as I am!

Seriousl - 50 is the new 49, or something like that.

I would mention that you're only as old as you feel, but...

50 is old enough for those early morning (especially cold mornings) "Oh my bleeping back, please don't make me go up/down the stairs and really, why can't I just sleep in until ....well, whenever.

I've always believed I'm as old as the woman I feel.

On days like today I'm really glad that statement isn't true. :)

No kidding. The last two days have been dominated by shoveling snow. I now seem to have discovered my inner 80 year old.

To me, 50 looks younger every day (which means the closer I get ...)
