mare-ibc hhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! thanks for the laugh...betty

Hey, been there, done that!!! I have an old wrinkled bag that keeps cutting in front of me to.... I just yell, MOVE, you're slowin me down!! you go girl < we need fun, tmonster

If you can't laugh at yourself , just give it up!! My ex told me I never took anything seriously and he was probably right but ... here is where we are today.

We are both in our 60's- I am reading, cooking, entertaining , walking, off-road biking, swimming, traveling, learning to skydive, adored by our five grandchildren, still working a full-time job, and told time and again how young I look. I lstill love to play- if one of the grandkids call, I drop everything to adore them back. I do admit to a little "assisted living". I have a cleaning lady and a yard man (due to the fact that I spent last summer in Europe and will be spending this summer in South America). I am the oldest teacher in my building but year after year, I am the healthiest when we have Womens Health Week. I've worked hard enoug to own a beautiful home and a couple of really nice cars.

Him- well, three of the five grandkids call him by his first name because they hardly know him ( although we live only a mile apart). He plays golf three times a year and maybe goes on one trip, has had a heart attack, is overweight, and married to a woman who is knowN as The Real Maxine because she is so old and decrepit ( same age as me). He looks old enough to be my father.

SO PEOPLE, PLAY, LAUGH AND ENJOY LIFE. THERE'S A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE IN LIVING AND BEING ALIVE!!

Really funny! And you are right on target. It's me for sure. Keep thinking up more. Maybe when you go to church you think the priest is the altar boy. Or you see a teenager riding around your neighborhood and you discover it's a cop in an unmarked car.

I loved reading all of your message and now blame you all for more wrinkles from laughing. How about the doctors? They all look like high school students. The only thing I thought of today was how my breasts now look like those cartoons we used to look at about older people! What happened to perky .. guess it overperculated! Let's share our stories so we can all relate and have some more aging with humor! I still love my husband dearly but I know I didn't marry this man I've been living with for almost 50 years - who is he? What happened to the kid I married .. the young one?

I'm still laughing at who the real Maxine is! You're learning how to skydive? How cool is that? I'm working full time also and love it. With all of your activities, you have exhausted me just reading about them BUT good for you .. keep it up! You real age is most likely in the 40's group .. you should take an Oprah age test! Mare

Smiles again .. with your comments of the Priest looking like the alter boy and especially the comment about some young boy riding in the neighhood and it's a policeman!

I always loved talking to my aunt who was well into her 80's and said she's going to the doctor w/o an appt. .. she felt what's he going to do throw me out of the office at my age? We do get more nervy, at least I do and certainly more honest.

mare-ibc; i like this one: you are in the middle of a very sexy act and, oh my gosh, what happens? you guessed it - gas escapes............. at the supermarket you see a good looking man (you're thinking he is probably about your age) until his son comes up to him and calls him "daddy". did fathers get older or did we? i don't even want to tell you about the time i almost went out w/out my bra.....eeewwwww! scary...............betty

Perky HA!!!!!! my perky 36 BS ARE NOW 34 LONGS the up side of that is I can go wih out my bra. the other thing I have found is while I may forget to take my book back, I never never for get to hit a sale at my favorite dress shop. tmonster

Loved what you wrote about your 34 longs BUT the best was the pun you made which was "the up side of that is I can go wih out my bra! This morning was a typical senior moment for me. Microwaved my coffee, went into another room, came back and was searching for my coffee. It took me a few minutes to realize it was in the microwave!

Looks like I'm the senior here at age 69 .. did I just write that? Anyone in their 70's?

Well if I could squish all that fat on the sides to the fronts i would have tits. I hit the bold type by accident and dont know how to get it back, I am not shouting!!! tmonster

I love the way we think , as we get olderm we get sassier, I all ways say "what are you going to do ? fire me? And then you must sashay out of the room........... tmonster

I lose things without moving. I say, " Leila, you have not moved from this space, how can you lose something that was here?" I drive myself nuts but the 40 years olds I work with say they are the same. Too much processed foods that the younger generation is eating. I love reading the funny things here. I have noticed my victoria secret bra is pushing up, but what is up there kind of folds over on itself. I put the bras in a drawer. I need to go bra shopping. I don't need to be pushed up any more. My body with clothes is in great shape, I know what weird things it is doing under my clothes. I just say, the body is supposed to deteriorate, so I am right on schedule and yahoo, I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. Leila

ladies; we have not even mentioned facial hair.....it now takes me 5 minutes longer to prepare to go out because of hair that is sprouting up all over....if i don't take care of my mustach i will look like FuManChu..and i always have this nasty black hair sticking out from my neck...................we did desend from the apes..........eewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....betty

tweezers are very important. My friend, close to my age does not shave under her arms, she has hair, I shave under my arms but nothing is really growing there. Things do change. Men get hair growing from their ears and nose, so i guess we have to have our share of displacement. Leila
