I'm sorry you feel that Firenze...on the whole I've found it to be true..A mean or spiteful young person often grows into a mean or spiteful old person and after so many years of scowling and frowning their features reflect it. A placid-natured person often continues that way in life and stays the same into old age, which again is reflected in their phizzog. Just my own observations.

Ooh, that could be an option!  ;D

I think zoony has a point though. We can't halt the ageing process, but we can choose our facial expression. A smile is better than a face lift!

I'm a smiler.. and a giggler...  and I have a wide mouth.....
Some people I meet have sour faces and they look older than their years..

Zoony you are right of course...the face does tell a Story.  If the face greets you with smiling eyes you've cracked it. I've had shops and worked behind the counter too and I could almost read the faces as they came in. Panic and a hasty grab at a clothing rail said "help I'm terrified". A bold walk in and a face scrutiny said...'so I'm here!'

Always remember when I had just retired at 65 and I went into a local fish and chip shop.  They were doing a pensioners special for which I asked.  The lady behind the counter looked vaguely familiar and imagine my chagrin when she said "Hang on a minute, you're not 65, I remember you at the infants' school."  She started checking the years on her fingers and then said "OK you win, you are 65!"  I nearly told her not to bother but emerged clutching my wrapper of pensioners' f and c.

Not only do I not see anyone I went to school with, I no longer see anybody I hung out with in my teens and early twenties, they have all snuffed it, I am the last of the gang. ;D ;D ;D

My son informed me that one of the dreaded Driscoll twins who I knew at school would like to have a drink with me in the local club .I agreed even though I drink very seldom .
I walked into the club to meet him and there was this guy with long grey hair in a ponytail. He smiled at me and I saw the boy ..
