I stay out of the sun. I look like years younger than a lot of women my age.

I like talking to my kid about sex, drugs and music. I have gone to his high school parties, and they remind me of mine. Right down to Iron Maiden screaming in the background. Biggest difference tho, is no one had a lighter. What kind of 16 year olds dont' have lighters?

My kid teaches me all the silly slang that they use at school. My kid tells me everything. I am allowed to feel like a teenager because I am so included in one's life.

I keep my hair long and wear blue jeans. I feel young.

What about you guys, what do you do?

I have my hair long, and I love comfy clothes,

I learned how to waterski this summer, and love to play with the kids and get messy

I had my son know all the words to Motley Crue's shout at the devil, at age 3, and I keep the lines of communication open.

I smile a lot

I still get ID's at the beer store. (I have a pic or 2 of myself and the kids and mr. manda in the pix thread BTW)

RE: What things keep you

I keep my hair long too. Well, maybe "keep" is a bit of stretch. Really it's just a matter of not getting it cut. I do try to brush it sometimes though.

I don't know that anything keeps me young though. I have two teeth left, arthritis, and an attitude problem.

Ah, there it is. My attitude problem keeps me young. I've never lost the ability to get pissed off at injustice, question people who wear suits, allows me to do things with a smoke hanging out of my mouth that most my age age can't manage at all, live on coffee and cheeseburgers for indefinite periods, spend as much on beer as most people spend on cars, back down one way streets (with a beer between my legs and smoke in my mouth) instead of going around the block.

Ah, there it really is...my inherent self-destructiveness keeps me young. That and the fact that I'm a leprechaun.

Gold is only gold, though. You can't eat it or build a house with it. People who chase rainbows never stop to look at them. Shoes that are yellow got that colour somehow.

...wow....you have gone to high school parties....you must really look young to do that. 8O

.....anyways I keep looking young by running at the gym and working out a few times a week. An few hours of sweat a week will keep you looking young.....

It also helps that I got an insanely high metabolism......I'm 5"11 and only 165 although I eat like I am 18......but it's nice not to have a belly when your in your late 30's :wink:

Are you kidding us? You are 40 and have only 2 teeth left? And arthritis? Tell us the truth, now. Are you exaggerating?

Yes I am exaggerating...I'm actually 41. Other than that...yup, the truth. Kinda cool, because my last hemophilia test (oh yeah, got that too) they took some extra blood for the geneticist.

No worries though...I have some teeth made out of acrylic, and I treat the arthritis with beer and herbs because the the doctor's pills make me piss blood. In the end, I can operate just like the average man in a grey flannel suit. I choose not to though. Go figure.

Plus, it's easier to take care of fake teeth, am I right?

Kind of. They are easier to brush and whatever is in that pill I toss into the glass takes care of the rest. I still have to clean my mouth out though, which basically requires using a toothbrush to clean my gums.

RE: What things keep you

so do you have the kind of fake teeth that you take out and leave in a glass overnight? Or do people still use those?

.....there are two kinds of people who are leprechauns... those who are short and wobble and those who have faces that look like rasins....as is the case with the PM .
