<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>

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
