age is less stigmifying (is that a word?) for men.

My poor husband. He said a work colleague looked at his family photos on his desk and said "cute kids!" and he said "thanks!" and then she said "so you got 3 boys and a girl?" he said "no, just 3 boys" and she said "oh! that must be your niece" and he said "that's my wife!!! "

That's me. I never changed my username to "MattUK" or anything similar, though -- must be somebody else.

Edit: Looking back on it, yeah, I did have a lot of time of my hands. Wish I still did. If anything, time was the biggest contribution I was able to make to the PPML/prince.org back then. Unlike Ben and Kevin, I wasn't an IT professional, so I couldn't help with the technical aspects of creating or running this place.

(Side note: Ben and Kevin also put a lot of their time into building the various versions of this site that have existed over the past 13 years. It's almost entirely custom software, and thanks to the various "tools" they've created, I've usually needed nothing more than a Web browser to do the various tasks I've done on the site.)

But anyway, what I could donate was my time. That was especially helpful when we launched the (old) prince.org news service. At a minimum, I tried to process the news queue daily, and with the occasional exception, I think we were pretty consistent with providing at least one news update per day.

And yes, I was definitely the young guy. I was either 18 or 19 when I first joined the PPML staff -- Ben and Kevin had written a PPML FAQ, and they put out a call for a volunteer to maintain it.

I've got lots of fun memories from the "olden days." It'd be interesting if we could bring back the original .org (or even the PPML) for, say, a week.

Nope, I never had braces. When I was a kid, my dentist said I was a borderline case and might benefit from them. But I didn't like the idea, and my parents didn't feel like arguing with me about it. (The joke in my family is that I've been an adult, at least when it comes to being independent, since I was 5 years old.)

I'm certainly not a dentist, but from the looks of things, my teeth grew in pretty straight. Perhaps I could have gotten some minor cosmetic benefit from it on my lower teeth. But I have to wonder if the real benefit would have been my dentist having a nice down payment for a new Porsche.

BTW, I do need to update that pic. It's nearly 3 years old now.

Hey I think this is true,
specially if the person, that is 30/30s live their life with (younth) and
Passion, with no age requirements or limitation.New 30 can be 20
I mean it's just 1 number above 29 or a few numbers? What has really changed?
Most people still learning new, things. Don't mean their not set in their ways.
I believe nothing about 30 is old - One still have 20 more, years 2 even be 50.

And some men/women if more on the shy side, or more in the (house type) or have been raised in a (christian home) having the state of mind- I can't do this or that it's (bad). Not saying all have had this experience. Haven't even fully express, living. At 30 may just be blooming as, flowers. In to this world at 30 years of age.

Thats just food 4 thought-

tenderhart-is yunghart
who made the thread maybe.. playing

that there's lots of truth 4 the late (bloomer) 30 year old.
