SherryA, can I ask why my answer was removed? I get the comments being removed, he did push some buttons and the conversation spiralled downhill from there, but I think my answer was valid. http://www.ask.com/answers/249440241/i-like-an-atheist-girl-but-im-christian-what-do-i-do#post-249443841

I sent you an email FGMJ, but yeah it wasn't you, it was the responses

I hear you Sherry, I'm 40.

I can totally relate!!! I am getting ready to have my 3rd back surgery!!
Report as
cj ur 31? I thought you were like 18. Haha you age well ;)
Report as
ugh dslakey, I had a discectomy in 97, took ten years for me to get the muscle strength back in my back! I hope you have better luck than I did
Report as
Yup I'm 31. I get told that a lot. LOL
Report as
you prolly looked 9 at 18 haha
Report as
I most certainly didn't look 18. I actually can remember being upset because I barely passed for 15. Boy what I wouldn't give to be that young again. lol
Report as
Ugh... I was 12 getting asked out by 17-year-olds who thought I was even older! I keep hoping I'll outgrow that looking-older-than-I-am thing, but so far, no luck.
Report as
Really CJ? You would go back? I don't think I would go back! Being a teen was pretty bad, I mean I had fun and all but still
Report as
that is pretty funny. I don't miss my youth much because I was a dummy and it hurt my brain but I understand the benefits you seek :j
Report as
I'm with you sherry :j
Report as
FGMJ, I always looked older than I was too and still do, that tiny little pic just doesn't show it.
Report as
I would only go back, on one condition, and that's if I knew then what I know now :)
Report as
well ya haha I think that is a nine inch nails lyric

How about we get to keep the age and just get our bodies back! With out the aches and injuries etc LOL
Report as
Oh I'm totally down!!

SherryA, I think there's an advertisement on here. It hasn't been removed. It's selling dog jewelry. What's up with that? And there's no point in talking/emailing customer service, they just don't have time, apparently, to answer questions like this.

Along these same lines--have you ever talked a policeman out of a ticket? Once they started writing it? My wife has, many times. She's NEVER had a moving violation. But that was only when she was under 25-I wonder why??

Here we say 40 is the beginning. That's when people start getting the "old age" diseases and stuff like that.

Hey, you're back!! I swear I thought someone else was using your pic (idk how) with another username. How is your twin sister doing?
Report as
Great thankyou. I hinted when I tapped in to follow you. You had answered a question with a response of "coffee". So naturally I had to jump in on that answer. Lol
I took a break and decided to come back after about a month. Wasn't planning to originally. I'm surprised you remember my picture. Thankyou.
I was going to find you today to wish you and your lovely wife a very, very Happy Thanksgiving. Hope everything is good with you. Don't know if your weather is getting too cold for your coffee on the porch. Maybe it's getting time for coffee by the fireplace instead. Chuckle
Good to see you.....
HAPPY THANKSGIVING a little early.
Report as
Im so glad to see you again on here. And yes I still enjoy coffee on the porch with my wife but lately the weather isnt coorporating. It's getting very very cold. In fact, we're expecting snow very soon. BRR! I hate snow but coffee and cold go together, right? It's really nice to see you again, really!! And Happy thanksgiving to you too, my friend! :(

I'm not a good typist. I'll tell you a little secret......I usually have to type a sentence over about 5 times before I get the spelling correct. I don't know whether my fingers are too big, or my iPhone screen is too small. Lol

Haha, I'm glad we're on the same boat. Hey, I didnt exclude you in my answer down there LOL!

i know some of the younger people who are "old" and some of my elders who are relatively "young". for me, "old" or "young" will never have to do anything with age. it will always be about being ready to take things as they come and never stop dreaming about new ones, and being on the never-ending adventure trip of life. i have an uncle who's 78 and is always visiting places, meeting with people, laughing and living life to the fullest and one the other side i have friends who are just dissolves into their computer screens, just swimming through the dirty sea of the so called "social networking".
