I mean, I'm gonna have to eventually, so-

Oh damn, you got me! Well, it's been a wonderful journey, and I'd love to thank all my conversing mates, of course @SDcomics for paying more attention than me, as well as @DarthDre758 @docsilence and @Damien the three D's, @fac and @Chooch555 @TENIME @AceofKnaves @Justice @vicious @NORM @TheSameIdiot @altcunningham @erock @joshsquash729 @JakeEkiss @Akatsuki and everyone for engaging with me so much that it really gave me the boost! Couldn't have made it this far without you, and here's to another 5,000!

As a dark aside, I've heard aging is kind of like that. Suddenly you don't recognize the guy in the mirror.

Time comes for us all. Hooray!

I've always kinda gotten that. I'll never forget the day I was at work and one of our cooks came up and asked how old I was. I asked him how old he thought I was, and he looked me up and down and said "36". I was 20 at the time. 😭 Sure, he didn't speak great English, so maybe something was lost in translation, but it's always stuck with me as both funny and unfunny. I've always had that "overly caffeinated, under slept" look to me, and it doesn't help that, thanks to an abusive dad, I had bald spots starting in high school that only got worse with some not-so-fun medical treatments a couple years later. Some folks will tell me I look pretty young until they see me from certain angles and then they do a silent "yowza!" But even when I was undeniably young looking, because of aforementioned Dad and all the silly manners and rules we had to abide by, I always got the "you're so grown up for your age!" or "you're so mature!". Funny how, depending on the situation, that can either be the greatest compliment or the worst insult.

But thankfully now my body and soul are both pretty old and crotchety, so folks don't often have many doubts.
