I find that I'm starting to avoid mirrors.<br />Recently, a friend who I rarely see in my favorite coffee shop/bookstore, greeted me with, "You still look so YOUNG!" It didn't really feel like a compliment at the time, and I realized much, much later that she was really making a comment about herself... But just that morning, my own mirror had told me in NO uncertain terms that I was old, a has-been (or never was) and looking way, way too much like my mother.<br />Who to believe...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-55781508676266679672012-10-11T05:55:36.273-07:002012-10-11T05:55:36.273-07:00LOL And here I thought you were telling me true s...LOL And here I thought you were telling me true science facts Andrew!

And don't you just love it whenyou get 'hit' on when you don't expect it. Me? I always look back over my shoulder to see who they are really looking at - or I figurethey must be desparate (which they are) or need a new pair of spectacles :) Full moons are always a good time :) Narcissus? Really very interesting - you need a salt water pool to look in and the light to be at just the right angle - salt in water means that a colloids will separate and fall to the bottom - freseh water is always dirty - that's cause people wash their underwear in it. :)<br /><br />Hope you are well :) :) Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-61741082491869524122012-10-10T05:16:20.186-07:002012-10-10T05:16:20.186-07:00It didn't occur to me that my mirror is weighi...It didn't occur to me that my mirror is weighing down my face.

You always have a great story to pull out of your pocket for IF. I've decided to just sit by the water or walk along beside it instead of starring. I'm older and wiser now.
