[Guest guest]

well..i'm in the same boat rosanne...

my dear male parental unit..who took me a way from my mother when i was like 7(i

think they call it kidnapping)(its ok, lets just say, mom

wasn't..ahem..attentive to lil things like feeding me and such..)...happened to

be a big hunter/trapper...every winter our basement and garage would fill up

with the skins on dead lil fur bearin animals..and every summer he'd take us all

to california fer the whole summer

strange life

there..now i've doubled the nightmare potential...

slows the ageing process.  I had my hair cut recently by a woman who was one

year my senior.  We looked at *least* 10 years apart!  And my best friend (we

became veggie together when we were freshman in high school) looks really young,

too.  Just a thought...

Wow. Conjures up wonderful image. Used to mad about stones. Under the

boardwalk. What a let down they are now. Rock stars definitely

shouldn't grow old.

Hi Rosanne

 

I'm a metal fan now - and with respect to aging would refer to Dio, Judas

Priest and Rob Halford, amongst others who still rock to perfection - and

can still show a lot of younger bands how to do it.

 

I agree with what you say about the Stones. I have my old vinyl of Beatles

and Stones,. but haven't listened to them for almost thirty years!
