A few other things

I quit smoking almost 18 years ago, don't really drink, never spent a lot of time in the sun

Plus a little extra "padding" does tend to make a person look somewhat younger. My face is relatively smooth, and I don't have "turkey neck", which I probably would have if I were way thinner than I am now.


I'm 61 but probably look 45. My next younger sister is 59 but looks at least five years older than that. She smokes and drinks and is thin. She never had kids. I had three (2 living).

So many variables...
