I admire sooooo many people, for their qualities much more abundant and better than mine (assuming I have any).<BR/>I can't believe he said that to you, maybe he was just joking?<BR/><BR/>@}---'---,----<BR/><BR/>G XxxxoxxxXGayƩ Terziogluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429669176156091603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-55719290527868372592007-10-26T22:20:00.000-02:302007-10-26T22:20:00.000-02:30Hi there Wisewebwoman;My first time here, and i li...Hi there Wisewebwoman;<BR/><BR/>My first time here, and i like what i see!<BR/><BR/>This story reminded me of an incident down at the community kitchen... i was bopping around, helping the cook when i heard someone behind me say, "Gee, i hope i have as much energy as SHE does when i'm HER age!"<BR/><BR/>I looked around to see who the old hag was they were talking about, and saw two teenagers standing there, smiling at ME.<BR/><BR/>Confounded whippersnappers.<BR/><BR/>ananAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-32964150038999865072007-10-26T19:18:00.000-02:302007-10-26T19:18:00.000-02:30(Tittering) - I recognise the feeling well.I espec...(Tittering) - I recognise the feeling well.<BR/><BR/>I especially feel affronted when<BR/>it's taken for granted that I'm eligible for the senior admission fee or menu, or whatever, without being asked.
