I beat you to it . . . I turned 55 in March and am still here to tell it! Welcome to middle age. It's not soo bad -- but then I sort of envy those who just graduated 8th grade and are looking forward to high school which seems as if it were many lifetimes ago -- and it was!! Anyway, it is great to see others of my generation here as well! Oh, and by the way (btw?) I, too, am a woman, female, girl (um, maybe still, yeah, sure, why not), ma'am (though I HATE being called that!), chick, and lady!
