Ten. I am one hip Nonnie. I have to remind the kids of that sometime. When they think I'm not being cool, I explain that my cool is a level of cool to which they have no knowledge. Watch and learn.
Personality-wise very much so in that I am efficient, controlled systematic, and always keep my head in whatever situation. In terms of being "with it" or "fashionable" or a "trend-setter" I have never been "cool".
I think you describe yourself accurately. I admire people who can keep their heads no matter what, and you seem to display that kind of temperament. I am sure it has served you well in life and it serves as a great example to the rest of us.
Thank you. I think it can serve well in some situations but in others perhaps is a weakness because a lot of people who know only my public persona have sometimes seen me as rather a "cold fish"! Truly wish I were able to be an example of that on this site but though I try to be I am afraid I fail miserably most of the time.
