[@ErnestoMike]

He looks horrible, what are you talking about

[@haarmonic]

@@ErnestoMike curious. why do you think so?

[@Japan_of_Green_Gables]

@@ErnestoMike It's not that he looks horrible, in my opinion, but that he is sitting next to Omar who looks like he stopped aging after 2005 or so. Cedric is a 48 year old man, and I find that's what he looks like. His beard has grayed and he has some sun damage on his cheeks and around his eyes. That's it, really. Things also haven't been easy for Cedric and his family over the last 5 or so years. Stress has an immense toll on your body. If he does look horrible, which I don't think he does... it would be understandable.

all it is seriously, is being skinny. when you are overweight, which most older people are with their dad bods, that puts a serious toll on your organs and over time you start to look older. skinnier people just look younger. You can't be that skinny and also drink alcohol or eat bad food - so Omar just lives a very healthy life and it shows.

Wonder who said it first though, Zappa said "without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid" in 1989.

Chrissie is a champ. Her and Cedric have not had the easiest lives over the past six or so years. They both have a lot of guts and strength -- especially Chrissie, but that's not to say Cedric doesn't have tons too. As a small side note, though, Chrissie didn't take both of Cedric's last names.

When Cedric cried, I cried bc I can honestly relate so much. Something about becoming a parent just puts certain things into perspective.
