  4. Aging women often becomes more honest, or have less decent filters. Perhaps that is it.

  5. She looks cool on her photo. These days I don't care if I'm likeable or not, I do my thing, and that's it! Have a great week, Valerie

    1. I needed to find a suitable photo, as there wasn't one already paired with the story. Sometimes that's a challenge...

  6. That WAS a short story. I feel for that woman who is 41. She is just barely past mid life as long as we live in this day and age.
