Hiya Penny! I grew up in a family not dissimilar to yours. Irish?

Hi Penny pleased to have you here, also 41 is a good age. Well that's what I tell myself. Actually I mostly tell myself there must have been some mistake I'm surely not that old. Still I can rely on either wishing myself younger or the singularity to save me :-). Nothing happening so far, I just need to wish harder or buy a magic wishing rock off the interwebz to focus the wish energy.
Anyway enjoy your time here and once I sort out magics well let you know.
