Well I'm a few years older than you, and I still get em, too! My 65yo aunt says it never stops.
I hadn't even thought about this, though.... Always, always, always, in my younger years, they were either at the bottom corners of my nose, or at the corners of my mouth. Now, they're almost exclusively on the center of my chin. Thank god they're always tiny ones, that a quick needle prick solves.

Louie and Homer, you sound very fortunate. Even as a teenager, I had no acne, never, all of my life. Then, at age 42 I developed acne on the right side of my face, where I shave, and it has never completely healed, for four long years now. It's terrible, tiny hairs growing upside down, sideways, and I always look like I have frostbite from the redness.
I'm a little fortunate in that I can hide much of it with a light coating of zinc oxide and a cover stick, but that inch of my face is in horrible condition. Tweezing it helps some, but also irritates it. For the first time in my life, I understand why some celebrities prefer to be photographed from one angle only and hide the other side.

Louie, I made so many typos in the 2nd PM I accidentally mailed you a rough draft of 20 minutes before also sending the final version. Both have so many errors you will lose count, or laugh til you have tears from it, at my illiteracy. Believe it or not, I meant well, even if it seemed rough, but it's an unholy trainwreck. Do yourself a favor and delete both copies of the 2nd PM, actually it would be doing me a favor, not that you should.

Hey, I can agree to disagree. At the time, I felt I had something worth sharing with you that might matter, but anyone who typed, as I did, 'white wing' when I meant to type 'right wing'- clearly deserves to be mocked and/or ignored.
What a day. Have definitely had better.

I had mild acne as a teen, and it mostly cleared up in college. But when I hit about 29, it came back with a vengeance. Worse than when I was a teen for a few months. I got my birth control switched, and started using DDF (Doctor's Dermatologic Formula) skincare....now my skin looks better than it probably ever has. (I'm 30 now)

I wrinkle paper & other foldable material in a very weird way--it can't be described. I've been doing this since I was a child. I used to practically destroy school textbooks, wrinkling each page. Doing so seems to calm me or something.

Let me try to describe the movement. I take the edge of the sheet of paper in my right hand, thumb atop it & middle finger below the thumb but on the underside of the sheet, & then I press the two fingers toward each other, carefully guiding the resultant switchback, or sharp bend, from one end of the scarp (or fault) to the other, until I am left with a sheet of paper with what looks like a single long scar running situationally along the center.

I do this compulsively, practically whenever I have any such material in hand.

^^^Well good luck with THAT, my friend!

Like his testicles are no where to be found, completely MIA. I didn't know they did this....he has been neutered for a while now, but I thought they'd hang there forever :\ Not just fall off, that's kind of like taking his man hood forever.

[ButterCookie]

TMI - I drank so much last night in the space of about 2 hours that I was sick. It was disgusting and I felt like ****. The sick tasted like sambuca

Maybe it's like the umbilical chord scabbing up and eventually falling off?

Haha. That reminds me of the last time I got really sick. I'd unfortunately drunk too much Ribena that morning even though I didn't feel well. Anyway, I ended up throwing up bright purple toxic waste over the wall outside of the job centre lol.

Sambuca is the first thing I ever did a shot of xD I've only been sick twice after drinking. So bad once I thought I was going to die, not fun. Will never go there again. ever.

[ButterCookie]

This was my first shot because I'm too tight to pay for them myself. I've never been sick from alcohol before because I don't normally go stupid like this but last night I was sick four times, all separately. yuck

[louielouie2000]

I've only been sick from alcohol once. Several years back my roommate made punch for Halloween and put Everclear in it. David used to be a bartender, so he knew how to make drinks where you really didn't taste the alcohol at all. So after downing several glasses of 190 Proof punch I went from sober immediately to slamming-into-brick-wall drunken sickness . I became closer with the bathtub that night, though I'm sure it wasn't charmed to make my acquaintance . I haven't had anything with Everclear in it since.

[ButterCookie]

Oh gawd I've only ever heard stories about Everclear. I managed to down the sambuca, two double rum and coke's (the rum was about 3 years old at that), half a bottle of San Miguel, half a pint of cider, a shot's worth of a mix of Absynthe, Sherry and more sambuca as well has having a sip from everyone elses beer/cider/guiness. The cold tiles in the bathroom were wonderful.

[Silver Springs]

I never actually thew up from alcohol the few times I've drank it. I do very silly things instead. My first trip to London, for example. I had only had two double Vodka and Orange Juices, but it was fair to say that I was swinging. I got it into my head that I wanted to go for a walk late that night, so I took my shoes and sock off and went out for a walk in the seedy streets in my pajamas. Ultimately I got disasterously lost and had to ask the ropiest, rapiest individuals my way back to my hotel. Them not being any help at all, I had to phone my friends and ask them to come and pick me up. They got themselves lost before eventually finding me sat cosily in a Tree.
