My mother is more toward the chunky side while my father is the beanpole. Sucks cause I have his huge nose too. I don't want to look like my dad...he's 84, whispy hair, lots of wrinkles, age spots. But then my mom had saggy jowls and wrinkled lips. Can't win for losing.  Unfortunately, I think I'm looking like her because of the jowls.

Not sure of his exact age, but I know it's around 60. Not someone to look like either right now, but I meant more of his body type and his nose

Just for the record ......60yrs is NOT "getting up there"!   89 is getting up there! The closer you get to 60..the younger 60 becomes!

When Melmo wrote that, I just knew one of our outspoken women would remind her that 60 isn't "getting up there" but for the record 75 is "getting up there" cause once you hit 80 you are old. Besides though 60 is the new 50 and that makes Melmo a teenager so she doen't know what she is talking about when it comes to age  Zombies are my favorite! I know what AVA looks like

It pisses the warden off when they say to her oh is that your little brother! Then they go blank when she says NO That's My Son! Why does everbody who puts their 2 cents in always wind up a penny short? Always Remember the Infamous 9.99 Mystery box!!! COME GET SOME!!!

This guy was getting around NO PROBLEM..the only thing he couldn't do was sign his name! He even signed with a jagged "X" on his license! His official signature is an "X" and they accepted this! Maybe this has something to do with the fact that they really CAN'T count here in Florida!

And I'll tell my dad what you said...he turns 84 today. I'll tell him he isn't 'getting up there' yet! I don't feel at all like 51 used to seem like it would be. Feel the same as I did 20 years ago!

Oh Ava, please, you're just a spring chicken, in fact I often sit upon my rocker and wave my cane angrily at you watching you and your insipid antics. AND, I thought we had a date Friday, Sparky's remember? What's with that, you stood me up!
