At the undesirable sake of getting kicked off the only, "Proper Forum" on the World Wide Internet Machine, I will simply and with dignity respond, "Tortoises" and maybe some turtles. For instance, I have a fossil of a turtle from back in the days when they could not retract their heads into their shells. Their closest relative today is a "side-neck" turtle. I might want one of those turtles to go along with the fossil, but I'm not thrilled with having a water-turtle tank in the livingroom. Ya' know? I think I'll just stick with my original favorite pick/statement that would get me kicked off of here. LOL

I was just looking over some of the photos. It's sad how many of us are no longer on the forum.
Including some very fun and interesting members I'd all but forgotten about.

I agree. Too sad that so many of our old friends no longer come visit us here.

I agree (not about you looking old). I hardly ever look in the mirror and when I do I wonder who is that old lady looking back at me?

Lol....yes. most times I feel like I'm still in my 20s, then I look in the mirror and see wrinkles forming and my face falling. That's when I realize my 20s was decades ago.

True. But at what point do you no longer identify with that face in the mirror?
I seem to have grown ancient overnight.
It does seem overnight! When my kids were teens people thought we were sisters! They are only 23 and 22 now! This is when people said that, about 8 to 10 years ago. Me and my daughter.

That was true for me too, with my daughters. One of my daughter's boyfriend's friends tried to ask me out. Now I look my age, and try to avoid looking in the mirror.
