Well, in a couple of years you too can enjoy what australia's vineyards have to offer. In the meantime I am off to have a severe age-related nearly-thirty panic...

Actually, I've changed my mind, I'm stopping at 29. My next birthday and all those thereafter will be 29ths!

Time to re-invent my self rather than hang on to who I was. | |

No, it means you have to congratulate me on being 29 every year. I still want attention on my birthday!

| If you're going to be 29 ever year, can we forget your birthday anyway, but celebrate it on random days? (This will likely lead to you having more than one birthday a year.) |

| I like to have multiple birthdays in a year, as long as they don't count.
And LouW, wait until you are rapidly approaching fifty....
But turning almost 50 is far better than the alternative...

| Feh. The alternative is not as bad as all that. One gets used to it.
The Louweasel will never "approach 50". She will just become "a lady of a certain age".

| Inq...actually, seriously, genuinely, my beady weasel eyes have filled with tears.
You're too good to me; just hope you won't be disappointed if you ever meet me.
Sabreur - you can't be staring 50 in the face?! I thought you were about 35?!

Which still makes me significantly (a year or two) younger than some other people I know....
