Christsmasher-thanks for your support! Mare Idol-I loved the picture of you with Cheetah! I'll have to look into the raw food diet. I couldn't have raw food while on chemo, but now I can start getting more into that, and I have been walking a lot, and

I was very "geaky" looking in the 80s (thanks to the parentals). I had short curly hair, nerdy clothes and big plastic glasses! I like to think I look better in my older age than I did back then. http://www.eqfaces.com/photos3/moi_copy4.jpg

You look good but now we want to see the guy in the picture which was cut out. Why was he cut out? Why? I must know. Now go to pretty in pink thread and answer the question, Ducky or Blain. Thanks.

Mare idol is living proof that men for the most part age worse than women. On the other hand, I've always looked younger than I am, and I owe it all to the worst diet imaginable...........junk food , beer, more junk food , Coke, and er....junk food.

Ha-ha, thanks Jetboy!!

Welcome back! I missed chatting with you.

How about when you buy your first leather jacket but you have to soften it up to wear it to the club. You don't want to look like a stiff robot so you throw it around and beat it up. I know if you wore it new you would look like a poser. Soo important to

I was a preppy "Haircut 100" kind of guy. However, for a while I did go with the "Flock of Seagulls" haircut.

Now, I'm a conservative lawyer. Go figure!
