Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Will’sProoflikes
They say a lady never tells her age, but I've never been accused of being a lady - will be 52 on 3/27. Getting older doesn't bother me - it sure beats the alternative!
My daughter will be 29 in May. My son is 31. She's given me 2 grandsons, 4 1/2 and 22 months, and he's given me a granddaughter, 10 months. Life is great!
Have bought and sold on BST, many references available when asked.
Stephanie -- I'm sorry...I lied....That's not a "Portrait of me in my younger days." I was hoping its handsome ruggedness and independent flair would attract the babes...... I was wrong....all I got were flies and some PMs that I don't understand....
The photo is of my younger brother, Richard. I really do look as young as him, but, well...my eyebrows are a bit longer, and the glass eye sometimes pops out when I blink....nothing major - people hardly notice it, except when I don't catch it.
Oh…about the age thing…. I won’t be 97 ½ until next Tuesday. They’re having a party for me at the NASCAR track in Richmond. I’m driving #97 (of course). You’re welcome to stop by for cake and beer – just please forgive me Barbara….umm.. Janet…… ahhhhh Stephanie!!!
I’m wearing my Sunday-go-to-meetin’ best and would be honored to hold your parasol for you. My granddaddy always said “Son, always dress your best when you enter the House of the Lord.” To that my grandma used to add: “…and make sure to button your fly! You might be freezin’ a future President!”
I’m holding my extra pair of pants over my shoulder. I take ‘em with me ‘cause, first, the danged suit came with two pair of pants and I’m gonna use ‘em. And, second, I…well… the Reverend Peabody is a good man.... but he sometimes preaches real long….and especially after communion…I’m not as quick as I used to be to get to the Gents facility….
Well, now I’ve come clean, as they say…and I thank you for toleratin’ me. Hope to see you in Richmond at the races on Tuesday night. (Them's knees aren't so knobblie, either more! Kind a like them.....)

Ha! You youngins ain’t done nothin’ ‘cept play with some danged iPhone thingy and do “object oriented programming...’” Danged bunch of sissies. Why I used to code in Fortran with my right hand and Cobal with the left, while using my toes to manage memory and register space. I wrote assembly code back then you had to move the magnetic bubbles by hand! We had indentured apprentices who spend all their time pumping the bellows to keep cool air flowing over the vacuum tubes…
Heck, when Al Gore was lookin’ to invent the Internet, he lookt me up with after church one Sunday and I told him how to do it—same with those kids at CERN or some such place. Warned ‘em it was a two headed dragon, but they didn’t listen to wise counsel.
Now Stefanie, I do understand your reluctance of datin’ an older man, but look deep into my eyes in that picture and tell me if you don’t see sincerity, integrity, and commitment….except for goin’ shoppin’ – no, not that committed…..
Wow, what a cross section...but it tends to be a bit grey, not that theres anything wrong with that....just look at the US Senate.
OK, we need someone here with a lot of free time to compile all the ages here and make a graph, or chart....it would really give us all a good insight into the age of the collector base.
