I can understand asking for ID for cold medicine (pseudoephedrine [a type of cold medicine] are the base for making methamphetamines), but Metamucil???? What, are people gonna OD by psyllium?? Get real!! :-.

Mak, when I was 17, I passed for over 21 pretty easily. On the other hand, a friend of mine always makes jokes about me robbing the cradle because I'm 42 and my husband looks like he's 25. (PS- he's 41)

People don't always look their age, and so they give themselves plenty of leeway. Yeah, 40 is probably pushing it quite a bit, but if there weren't so many people in the world just looking to take advantage every chance they get, people like you wouldn't have to deal with stupid laws.

Trust me - that statement made sense when it was in my brain. I'm not sure the fingers adequately conveyed it.

OK, I got one and this actually applies to the game and I've vented about it many times, but it seems I am in the minority, but what's it gonna hurt to whine once more:

Why is it that people can share passwords and give an agency free control over the entire agency and send them gift subs to keep them active, yet when I create more than two detectives, I can't have more than two in the same agency otherwise I'm cheating. I don't even TH as much anymore, but I have obeyed the unwritten rule.

Oh and Mak, don't feel bad, I got IDed for beer today, I actually take it as a complement
