May I be incredibly nosy and ask why you need an ID to buy cigs?

The legal age of buying cigs in the US is 18 so apparently LadynStFreknBed's age is not clearly apparent without a valid ID.

Does everyone have ID cards then? or just those that look too young?

Generally, yes a Driver's Licenses is a picture ID card that most have. Proprietors that sell cigs and alcohol to under-aged peoples will get slapped with hefty fines if they're caught.

You have to be 18 to buy cigs, but they will card you if you look younger than 27. I look young for 36. It's not uncommon for me to be carded for rated-R movies. LOL
I take after the Irish side of my family. My grandmother looks at least 20 years younger than she is.
There's a funny, little story related to this. I took my daughter to the doctor for a check up a few months ago. My daughter is 15. The doctor walked in, looked over my daughter's chart, looked at us and said, "Ok, which one of you is Veronica?"
I pointed to my daughter. My daughter, being the smart ass that she is, pointed to me. The doctor looked over the chart again. Then looked at us, somewhat less amused, and angrily said, "No, really. Which one of you is Veronica?"
He was actually getting pissed. LOL

Big Brother is watch you .........
I've been told I look younger than I am too and in my 30s got asked for proof before going in 18 rated movies which rather chuffed me and when I went to see my husband in hospital just lately the nurse asked him if I was his daughter!

Right, and when I take my girls with me to the grocery store, the cashiers always tell me how beautiful my grandchildren are (...sigh)

Cheffy look at it from their point of view because you are so smokin hot they must figure you started breeding early
lol! excellent point.
loststar can testify that I'm into men with a little experience on them. The young ones break too easily.
LadyStF, I know that waiting game well. Just hang out in here, and we'll try to amuse you in a drama-free sorta way.
More coffee? And maybe a little pastry?

I just helped myself to an iced coffee, thanks!
I vented.. in the form of a short story called "A.H. University." LOL
Not sure if I will even submit it even though it is hilarious. I'll polish it in a couple days and then decide.

Publish a few paragraphs in the bistro. I'll put it on the fridge.
I don't hang out in the AH much. It's full of snarky elitists who are different than the snarky elitists in the poetry forum.
But sometimes I go in there to see what the Fool is up to.

bring that tongue over here and I'll show you somethin'.

AUGH! How seriously awful!
I really, really despise Doris Day. There are a couple people in my life who will actually say, "oh no, change the subject. Don't get her started on Doris Day."
I am not making that up.
My deepest sympathies. Which movies?

Oh, who am I kidding? I know I'll end up submitting it. It's just too much fun to keep to myself. Fun is better when it's shared!

The Man Who Knew Too Much and Clammity Jane. It could be worse, the alternative was Sandra Dee.
I lost a bet, you see so that's why the torture.

Do let us know when it posts! I wanna see all the drama! From a safe, smug distance!
Ewwwwwwww.
I can almost stand her in The Man Who Knew Too Much, especially cause I can focus on Jimmy Stewart, which helps. She's much, much worse in comedies. Her comedies make me want to drink bleach as a symbolic apology to all women everywhere.
So what would you have gotten to watch if you had won the bet?

It's a worthy cause, beautiful one, but I hate Phyllis Schlafly and Anne Coulter worse. Besides, DD likes dogs. It's a redeeming quality. Anne Coulter has no redeeeming qualities. And Phyllis is just...ugh. I don't even want to apologize for them, just make them go away.

Somewhere behind the green door
lies amoral debauchery
don't linger by the entrance
for the call will draw you in.
Somewhere behind your mind
where the darkest secrets hide
you know you want to be there
in this den of iniquity.
Don't be fooled by the sweetmeats
or the music soft and low,
see the shadows rise to greet you
hands slide across your skin.
You'll be led into the back room
taught the intricacy of tied
every pleasure know is given
if you dare to come inside.

I'm hip. But before this turns into a hatefest (which I'm sorta leaning toward cause I was SURROUNDED BY MORONS on the way to work and it's kinda hot and I'm a teency bit cranky about Stuff) let's turn it into a hot sweaty love fest instead.
Jamison's already here. That'll help a lot.
Here's my spur-of-the-moment (or as we say around here, sperm-of-the-mormon) list of
Things I Shouldn't Be Thinking About Cause I'm Already Too Hot and Sweaty:
(feel free to post your own list, O Best Beloveds)
Let's see. Just off the top of my head:
1. Garbo cross-dressing in Queen Christina
2. Gene Kelly
3. Kilts, duh
4. Maureen O'Sullivan and Johnny Weissmuller swimming naked in the Tarzan movie
5. Shibari on the naughty bits
6. Men taking care of small children
7. The Reverse Wedgie
8. Making Vladimir Nabokov get naked and read passages from Ada to me aloud
9. poetry about sex and cars
10. brilliant, smartassed literary women
11. saffron rose lemonade
12. That One Thing in His Dresser Drawer
13. Robert Montgomery
As to that last, have I mentioned how much I despise Joan Crawford for not letting me be her? I just watched "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney" the other night and she gets to make out with Robert Montgomery AND William Powell.
14. making out with Robert Montgomery and William Powell.
alright, who's up next?
*getting positively steamy in here, dammit*

YUM!
Welcome back, Shankara-ji! You were sorely missed.
So, kinda like this?
If it were poetry (and I would assert that it is), we'd call it a controlling metaphor.
Controlling metaphors make me hot.
