While your kids grew up you grew wise and when the grandkids come along you know what to really worry about. The rest of it is their learning from their mistakes and you watching with humor as your children think their children are maniacs and say all of the things you swore you'd never say that your parents said to you. Oh, and when was the first time you looked in the mirror and saw your aging dad/mom staring back at you? That was a sobering day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I haven't seen my mom or dad yet, but my sister was 25 years older than me (strange family - my mom was 44 when I was born) and my son keeps telling me how much I look like my sister as I get older. Same thing. Re: OT Family In a message dated 2/2/2005 5:30:46 PM Eastern Standard Time, sharonferris@... writes: I can hardly wait for that part.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 That's okay. I just didn't want anyone to think I am dating younger men because I have enough trouble finding " older " men.

I used to be a blond but now I'm kind of a blay (blond and gray) or is it grond? Depends on the lighting. Picture this. My mother holding me by the hair and cutting the bubblegum out. She had heard that lighter fluid would help so I smelled like a leaking cigarette lighter. Both my parents smoked and made me leave the room for two days before they lit up. I was Max the little torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Ellen: what is your anti-aging regime. Do you feel your young friend would like you as you are??? I always had a problem with " looks " . If I didn't feel I looked good my self-esteem would/still goes down.

I always had a problem with " looks " . > If I didn't feel I looked good my self-esteem would/still goes down. Oh, he has *never* made me feel that my looks are an issue. But later on...when I'm 65 and he's 52 it's the " young " body that will make the difference. So I do a variety antioxidants, choose my fruits well (I think - cherries and blueberries are my staples), chromium (not picolinate), selenium, zinc (my doctor keeps tabs on those last two in my blood), omega-3's, calcium, cq10. By the time she was my age, my mom had already had a hysterecomy and one of her knees replaced. By 55, she had both knees and both hips replaced. I don't want to be there - ever. It's not a looks thing (although I do take care of my skin), it's a long life and health thing. I don't cling so tightly to the BTD that I feel deprived, but enough so that I feel an improvement - and I didn't feel bad to start with (other than old injuries that need nursing along once in a while). ;-) Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I don't know. Try it and report. Scissors might work. No lighter fluid.
