Do you look better or worse
by pratt1 inthe other day i was looking at some old photos of my wife as a young witless teen.
several of the pictures were taking at assemblies and gatherings/weddings.. what amazed me is that she looks better today than she did as a witless teen or early twenties.
i don't mean just the expression on her face, but also the way she was dressed.
