Age dyslexia is as clever, fun and funny as demoralizageshun. (big grin). Greate creates! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-05: 06:10:00

Clever blend & funny sentence. "1551" - reminds me of the "1661 Syndrome", where one looks attractive from the back (16), but not so attractive from the face (61)! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-05: 15:44:00
