I’m assuming you know “Norma” was a CHARACTER not a real person. The true person, Gloria Swanson, would probably be 120 if she were still alive.

Bumbled attempt at a recovery. You said "I am almost as old as your Miss Desmond"; not "I am almost as old as Gloria Swanson." (A nonsensical gibber, in any event, as -- being long since deceased -- Ms. Swanson isn't ANY age, at present.) Massive, catastrophic FAIL.

You are truly just not smart.

I can keep my own age consistent from one posting to the next, Dorian Gray. At present, that makes precisely one of us.

I’m not going to answer any more of your drivel. To do so would be lowering myself to an “intellect” and “mindset” I find offensively unacceptable.

I, myself, am about fourty or so.

But the fellow in the mirror each morning has aged by DECADES!

(I wonder why he hasn’t taken better care of himself??)
