I guess I'm middle-aged. A couple years ago I bought something at Home =
Depot and the checkout gal asked me for my AARP discount card. Then, =
depressed, I stopped at the grocery store on the way home and bought a =
bottle of wine. The checkout gal there asked me for my I.D. Then I went =
home and celebrated! That must be middle-age. Or caught in the middle - =
or sumpthin'.

I think it works against me to a certain degree. I get the sense =
sometimes that when I make recomendations, I am not taken as seriously =
because of my perceieved lack of experience. Oh well, maybe I should =
gain 20 pounds and grow a beard...=20

I got asked for my ID buying alcohol at 35. You're right, perceived =
youth equates with inexperience and people sometimes don't take you =
seriously. That's their tough luck but you hate to lose out on the gravy =
work. Old doesn't necessarily mean fat but a beard does help. Add just a =
little touch of gray to the sideburns and you'll never get asked. If you =
do get asked how old you are tell them you're old enough to know better. =
Or add 15 years and you'll always get a compliment.
