    Eight minutes before I'm 31. 31. Thirty One. Thirty was a an indication of getting on, but thirty one... It means that you've now been there done it, wrote the book. You have past it. Mate, you are old.!:(

    Getting old is the point! Besides, who says you can't write the book, then decide to write a dozen new and different books? :-D

        Does this mean I clear my two marriages and divorces off my record because I wasn't sentient then?

          I tell everyone my 30s have been and promise to continue to be the best years of my life thus far. It could be denial, but I think it's the truth. ;) Happy Birthday!
