I am an "Old Maid"!!!!

For all those who think "old maid is a bad word"

According to Webster:
old maid: a woman, esp. an older woman, who has never married;
What's even better..... I'm not only an old maid but I'm a spinster too!!!!!
spinster: 1)a woman who spins thread or yarn; 2)an unmarried older woman

Isn't that great, especially when you consider as an artist, thread and yarn are my medium of choice.

Courtesy of a 31 year old unmarried woman who feels it necessary to correct the general idea that: an "old maid is an older unmarried woman who has no hope of ever getting married". That's not what it means and now you know what I mean when I call myself an "old maid".

Background Statistics
Age of Women in my family at time of Marriage:
Mean/Average: 19.95
Medium: 19.3
Mode: 19
Range 4

Sources: Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language 2nd Edition
College Statistics - and to think I thought I would never use this in daily life

Thank you and that's all
