061: NOT quite Middle aged

Photobucket
I am thankful to learn that I'm not quite "middle age" yet. According to Wikipedia, the source of all reliable information, middle age is not midpoint of the average human lifespan, but begins around the third quarter. Now, if you go by the Collins dictionary it's about the ages of 40-60. If you go by the Oxford English Dictionary it's about 45-60. If you go by the US census it's 35-54. I'm just going to forget that I read that about the US census. Pthffft. Americans don't know what they're talking about. Yes, I'm aware that I am American. I'm going with the Oxford definition. While Collins and Oxford are both Brits, Oxford just sounds smarter, plus that gives me a few extra years before I hit middle age.

Because we are the same age, I am going with your judgement on this one! :) Beautiful picture!

You should title this, "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!"

I am all for Oxford, too. Did I miss your birthday? I never should have sent my birthday calendar to TX.

No, I haven't had a birthday. Just my random ramblings.
