8. Yes, I did! I meant to answer right away but got distracted.
I'm very happy the recipe worked out for you! I love hearing that. :)

7. Of course they're certain; that's why they lie about it.

12. I decided early on not to lie about my age. I'd rather people say
"you really look good for 60" than to have them tell each other behind my back "Boy, that's a rough looking 45".

13. I never lie about my age either.
Although, I have to admit that I don't like "for 40" tacked onto "You look good"...the qualifier kind of takes away from the pleasure of the compliment.

Someone told me just last Saturday that I don't look 40. I said to her, "This is what 40 looks like."

14. I agree with you
I don't want people thinking I've had a rough life & it shows on my face.

15. turned 50 in November.
I'm generally told that they're surprised to hear that. Ok. I've considered lying about my age and adding 15-20 years so that people would be shocked. But the first time someone just said "oh" I would have to kill them, so I stick with accuracy. :hi:

18. I'm not certain of my age
It changes every year and I lose track. When asked my age, I pause because I have to do the calculations. Duh!!
