5. Did not see that one coming.
Was thinking about mental states and other things for some reason. Way to speak up for gravity though.

7. Awwww, CaliforniaPeggy... especially at healing huh? Even from small glitches, seems like the wounds
last just a bit too much longer than I remember.

11. Thank you, my dear kayakjohnny...
Actually, my wounds seem to take the "normal" amount of time to heal...

But I'm nowhere as quick on my feet as I used to be...

*sigh*

14. Well that would have been the obvious one, right? Until you think about passing a certain point.
And then the wiser gets quite a bit reversed. Until a person becomes, once again, just like a little baybay.

17. Yes, and sometimes just of the current things while being in total recall
of events from 30 or 40 years ago. Right to the very detail.

22. Yep, but some of it I think the person being just too unforgiving with themselves for mental lapses
that could possibly occur at any age. Some people are too hard on themselves and too frustrated for things that are very much forgivable in any one else's eyes. I suppose.

21. The funny thing is that...
...over the last couple of years I finally gained a bit more comfort with looking at things from different angles, that people more often than not have reasons for what they do/say, and that taking things personally is something of a waste of time.

That said, I also care a lot less what people think of me, so maybe the mean and stubborn streak is establishing itself too! :evilgrin:

27. ...ass backwards.
My nose runs, and my feet smell.

Hair falls out of my head, and sprouts from my ears and back.
