    She must have a really good plastic surgeon. Some just over do it which makes them look worse than when they started.

    To be honest I prefer to look slightly younger than I am (clean shaven).

    This is a real problem and a good question.

    I dealt with this problem for years. I am 35 years old, and until recently people always thought I was in my twenties. I have been building networks and programming since I was 16 (yes they just started getting computers back then) The place I currently work at, would not take me seriously.

    I had to work twice as hard to get them to listen to my ideas, once they realized I was not a kid, and that my skill level was above there 40 year old techs I was promoted and given a decent salary. I still get it once in a while. If I let myself go and don't talk the talk. You have to make sure you are confident, shake hands firmly, and follow through. Being reliable helps a lot, because people normally associate a kid with someone who is not reliable (although not always true) so I would make sure I was the first to work, and the last to leave.

    Damn it -- never a problem I've had ....

    One of those things -- it happens to you and is annoying and it doesn't happen to you and is also annoying....

    I say scrap age -- let's just live!
