The only thing I regret is not going to art school...but it worked out..I taught myself.

Trust me you don't want to go to art school. I did and it was a total waste of money. "Good" art these days doesn't come from talent it comes from pretentiousness.

I'm also happy that I haven't been "attacked" yet for my first post stating why I don't want kids. It's good to know that people respect my opinion on the subject. Usually when I tell people this they immediately attack me and tell me how I HAVE to have kids and pass on my genes and how much happier I will be. But not everyone feels the same way and I think it's better knowing that I don't want to have them than having them and then totally regretting it and being a terrible parent.

Absolutely! And tell the other people they need to mind their own buisness.

I've got two daughters (4, 2). I think if I could have changed anything I would have had my finances in better order before I had children. I've got fairly ambitious financial goals so it's not like I was broke but I certainly hadn't achieved what I wanted to.

Now I'm single with two daughters and it's certainly got it's challeges as well as rewards.

I wish you would publish it instead of keeping it hidden. You should be damn proud of the way you look. Seriously, I'm blown away that you have a daughter in high school, especially if you had her when you were already getting older. That is mind boggling. Makes me want to try keto again. haha - almost

x2, Man, I would be LUCKY if I ever looked half that good in my lifetime. Dang.
I was pretty sure Demetria was in her mid-twenties after glancing at her profile.

You guys are too nice, thank you so much for that.

I'm kinda shy about my age (because it's beyond the point of being cute anymore), and also because people sometimes get mean with allegations of plastic surgery, botox or photoshop. I've used none of these, other than getting my boobs done after the birth of my daughter (breastfeeding made them flatter than buttermilk pancakes)! I've got nothing against good rejuvenation techniques, but will maybe consider these things if my face ever ends up on my lap one day. :O

*deep sigh* In the meantime, I'm one year older than Monica Bellucci.

Shut the hell up! You are not!

I had you pegged for at least 15 years younger than that!

IMO you look much more like someone who has taken very good care of herself rather than someone who spent a lot of money on herself.

Definitely tons of motivation to kick the crap and start taking better care of myself. I can only hope to look as good as you as I age.

Okay (on the DL), where do I send that check again?

What she said! Demetria! I don't want to harp on the number, because an number is just a number after all (My husband is over 20 years older than me, but he doesn't look a day over 40-ish) - but I am STUNNED to know that you are one year older than Monica B! You are absolutely stunning and I'm thrilled to know this secret about ya! You give me hope, woman! (big hugs)
