I'm getting old!

I was reading on Canada.com about the new trends taking over from body piercing and tattooing. It mentioned that people are going to the lengths of having their tongue split so it forks like a lizard tongue, then having magnets implanted or something (hey - I didn't say I read it carefully!). I tutted quietly to myself, just about to say to no-one in particular how crazy these people are to mess with themselves like that - after all, if you did permanent damage to your tongue, you might never be able to speak again. But here's the thing: As I tutted, my tongue stud banged against my front teeth... And it hit me. Weren't those very words spoken to me those many years ago when I went to get my tongue pierced? And didn't I sigh (in that adolescent way), roll my eyes and dismiss them as old fuddy-duddys? Maybe this is a sign I'm getting old! :(


On another note, if you are bored (and let's face it, if you're reading this, you must be!) go to google.co.uk (or your preferred Google), go to the image search and type in yours truly (Lindsay Atkinson). Check out pic. numero uno. My namesake - lucky him!! (Or is that lucky me?)

I have only had one comment on my blog so far (thanks Jani - true blue!!) Is anyone out there?
Must go get my car tires balanced. I really am old...
Ciao

Hi Lindsay,
I, too, feel old. 24. It's such a big number.
I'm very sad to hear about Jemma. She was such a lovely dog. I have very fond memories of her.
I will try to add you to my list, as well. Actually, I have no list because I can't figure it out. But I will try.

Hi Lindsay,
I just realized why my comments aren't being displayed. They're being moderated. Sorry for the influx. Feel free to delete 2 of the 3.
thanks
