3. it's the worse kind of joke
I mean, I get gray hair and zits at the same time. There's just something WRONG about that.

4. Yes
and I'm forty-eight. On the bright side I look closer to 34 and have no wrinkles due to my oily skin.

Put a dab of Noxema on it and sally forth.

17. Oh yeah, 43 years old here.
especially vulnerable around . . . "that time."

I fight 'em with a good AHA, BHA, retinol, gentle cleanser, 0.25% benzoyl peroxide solution, and a non-comedogenic moisturizer.

Man, I hate getting zits in the nasolabial folds (sigh).

18. Yes, damnit. And I'm 50!
I also am getting hair in places I never had it before. I thought I'd be done with the teenage pain-in-the-butt stuff by the time I started the midlife pain-in-the-butt stuff.
