I am six and one half years behind you. What does it feel like?? If someone told me that I only feel slightly smarter at 53 than I did at 19 I think I would have been ...surprised. Do you feel that way too?

50. Then you probably weren't.
It has nothing to do with hygiene, by the way. It has to do with whether or not your parents were communists or comm-symps. I only asked because you mentioned the McCarthy Army hearings.

in a four room apartment- that was not unusual then everyone had only one bath too. I remeber when the junk man came down the block with a horse drawn wagon , also the knife sharpener, umberella man, and the old Italian man with an accordian who sang in the courtyards for change wrapped in tissue and thrown out the window

Happy birthday, fellow Sag!

So when you turn 60, do you automatically start growing hair out your ears and nostrils? I always wondered when that started happening to men... don't see it in older women (thank god, but we have to contend with all other types of nasty aging problems).
