A
• Are you available? That depends on what your asking.
• What is your age? 38....I'll be 39 very soon....
• What annoys you? All kinds of things! The economy right now, Rudeness, people who think they are better than someone else, know it all's, dishonesty, my carpet in its current state, parents who allow their children to behave inappropriately (turn a blind eye).
