I'm missing out, I guess!

Oh, this aging business. Subtle changes here and there, their affects accumulate over time.....til you look like your mother! How did that happen!! ?? I used to look like my father....or his sister....whatever.

Anyway, some girls were comparing handcreams, one 38 year old exclaiming that it had faded her age spots on her hands....Age Spots? I scanned my hands, no, ......not yet....so what am I waiting for, I'm 17 years older. Maybe there are some signs I won't get. That would be nice....but so far, the creaky back, the bony hands, the whiskers on chin.....I seem to have most of the bases covered....... But no age spots, well, it figures, I can't tan either.
