That is something that comes through very clearly on the posts I've read from our younger forum members, their sense of self. Without knowing the ages of the folks here, it is very difficult to guess who is younger and who is older. I was surprised to learn that Lionness and Jerome are as young as they are. Melusine, you also surprised me as I had you mentally pegged as a mid-thirties professional when you first started coming here.Yorick is another person wise beyond his years.
Something that amuses me to no end is to hear people get full of themselves because they are "old". There are folks who pontificate about their storehouse of wisdom that comes with age... and they're within two years of my age. As someone once said, "Wisdom doesn't always come with Age, sometimes Age travels alone."

LOL, what a great quote, thanks!! That actually reminds me a lot of my father. I have learned a long time ago not to go to him with my problems, because he will immediately connect my problem to something he himself experienced, and forget I am a different person with different ideas. Very frustrating
I'll be sure to use that saying to him once...heh.
BTW I am surprised about the estimation you had of my age... it's not something I hear very often (though people usually give me about 5 more years than I have in reality) and I believe my age shows in many posts...
