<DIV>Dear Jeanene,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We had this discussion about two years ago. You must have missed it. <FONT
color=#0000ff><No, wait a mintue, last time you said anything about me, it
was "<FONT color=#ff0000>he </FONT>is a thorn in my flesh." So this is all made
up anyway -- no pun intended.> </FONT>I am 52, male (last time I checked),
and have seldom in my life been described as either handsome or pretty, although
remaining well preserved at my age seems to improve people's sense of me just a
little, compared to what else remains after so many years. (I have a photo of me
at age 5 -- in 1959 -- that looks really cute, but my 5th grade photos were
awful). Siarlys is Cymric (Welsh) for Charles, which is, in fact, my legal first
name, as it was the first name of my grandfather, whose mother was a woman of
Welsh descent, whose father emigrated from Llanwrtyd Wells to work in the coal
mines of Pennsylvania. If you Google "Siarlys," every response that is not me is
from some web site or other in Wales. Well, since I believe you have mentioned
that you are a happily married woman and proud mother of children, it can't be
too great a disappointment to have a pretty 28 year old woman disappear into
thin air. (I do have dark hair, but I don't let it grow too long).</DIV>

read it every day <BR>> since you sent it. I had you pictured at the start of
this discussion list based on the <BR>> look and sound of your written
name as a pretty, 28 year old female with <BR>> long,b dark hair. Then I
found out you were male. NOW you tell us you are 52????<BR>> NO WAY! I
can only change my perceptions once. In my book, you are still 28 years
old. (And quite often, a good <BR>> looking <BR>> woman to
boot!)<BR>> Jeanene<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message -----
