    Wrinkles? I ain’t got no stinking wrinkles. I have frown lines. Perhaps wrinkles would be better.

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
