Because I don't want to feel I am too old for ANYTHING - although, of course, I am! I'm sad that my arthritic hip means I can't play badminton properly any more. I hobble around the court but it's not the same. (Sad face).
I chose mrsmopp because i have a mop of thick, naturally curly hair which has a will of its own. Not because my occupation was a cleaning lady, as in: "Can I do you now, sir?" That wasn't me!
