February 26th, 2007 | #

February 26th, 2007 | #

alking about age, what about guessing mine.
Talking about age, would either of you care to take a guess at mine. I guarantee you won’t come close.
February 26th, 2007 | #
I say 21 or 37 or 51 lol ..
Any of the guesses even close ?
February 26th, 2007 | #
lol N10452.
I would say 17.
February 26th, 2007 | #
Close to eighty!
February 26th, 2007 | #
well to be honest my first guess was 55 but i was worried i’d be slapped if it turned out to be much younger lol .
February 26th, 2007 | #
I also said 17 because N. posted the elder decades.
oh wow. so do the above apply to you sonia?
February 26th, 2007 | #
Well i thought that more than 50 or 60 is not very probable since that would make too old to get used to a computer and use it etc .. lol
Well i salute your young enthusiatic spirit then lol, you are younger than all of us if thats how old you really are
February 26th, 2007 | #
Truthfully, they all do! But I am indeed young in spirit and see no reason to change. Thanks to both of you for helping me to keep contemporary.
February 26th, 2007 | #
Rampurple, it means you were an adult min zamen
mih no offense please don’t kill me
Sonia, you’re close to 80 or you’re joking? *shy* Coz if that’s true, then you just gave me hope. if not, then well
i guess i got my leg pulled.

Liliane, I will be eighty in June. Honest! I began learning Italian at the age of seventy five and now read Corriere Della Sera the front page of Corriere Della Sera most mornings and understand a lot of it. I am not mechanically minded bit my husband managed to teach me to operate the computer and I entered and found this site without assistance. Big achievement for me.Yesterday I went on a two kilometer hike up a hill near Abu Ghosh and had to scrable down the rocky slopes. The wild flowers were in such profusion. Espesially the lupins and poppies. Dont be afraid of old age. It could be your best time!
March 1st, 2007 | #
Liliane..Perhaps you will tell me how old you are.One’s age all over the internet! Scary!
