A 42-year-old single parent of three who started Dinking at 40, in between cooking supper, and writing jobs. "Diwata" in my language means a female elemental with magical powers.

It's not in our genes, HIV (Hair-Is-Vanishing), I mean. And I can afford to lose some hair - it's up to my waistline (too scared of beauty salons).

I'm glad I'm not the only one over 40 playing DMODS. My son loves it, and he's 9. It's more difficult to explain to him some of the words in some Rated R DMODs,though. It's not so bad, really...reason 1: English is just our second language so it doesn't come out that foul at all. reason 2: I'd rather my kids learn the meaning of some "not-so-reverent" words from me, so i can contextualize them.

Thank you SimonK for the reply and the "age-assurance".

And thanks, Striker for the encouragement and words of advice. I have played most,if not all of the DMODs here. And I love PQ and Once-in-a-Lifetime. And the others are not so bad even at 4 or 5 (as long as there are no major crashes).
