(((G))) Girl, you ARE beautiful! Stop putting yourself down. If you had a friend who looked just like you, you would rave about her gorgeous curly hair or her beautiful eyes, so take a good long look in the mirror, sister. People who don't think you are attractive clearly aren't seeing very well.

As far as LH's last comment that studies show people are most unhappy between 40 and 53, well, I just have to hang on 1 more year then I'll be out of that slump. I'll be 52 in a few weeks so it is all downhill right? LOL To your point about 45, G, 45 was a great year for me. It is what I call my "record year" (it is a song by Eric Church....google it!). I got divorced in December of 2014 which was the last month of age 44 for me, so I turned 45 in January and life changed a lot for me in 2015. I hope 45 is a record year for you, too, G. wink

Glad you are glutton for punishment, G. Your posts are always interesting. Loved the part about your helping little G with her science. Science is my jam too. wink
