    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

      Bah. You bunch of sissies. You aren't even sentient until after you turn 40. (I turned 45 a couple of weeks ago) Happy Birthday! :rose:

      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!

                  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.!:(
