Well!!! Something has happened - and I don't like it at all. Until last year, when I told people my age, everyone said 'wow, you don't look it - you look heaps younger!' suddenly, that isn't happening any more - I just get "Oh, ok'.

Even worse, when I went out on a weekend, a few months ago, two completely unrelated people thought I was the elder sister when I went out with my sister (who is seven years older than me). I didn't ask - it was volunteered.

I always thought it was better to say your age than to have people think gee she looks old for a (????) year old.

Easy opinion from the cheap seats - but not so good when reality bites.
