For the longest time I had this belief that during the years of a “Saturn Return” (27-29) the average person leaks brain matter out of their ears in their sleep. This complex and convoluted sentence basically means, “Somewhere between my young adult years and adult years, I feel I’ve gotten stupider.”<\/p>\n

Thanks, however, to a posting<\/a> by songspell<\/a> who took it from featheredfrog<\/a>… I am pleased to see that the leak is slower than I thought. When you discover you have a track record of dating as many English Pedants as I have, this is always a nice validation \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
