I remember my mom would walk by a mirror when she got old, and express pure amazement how she looked (old). I frankly hate what I see happening (turkey neck--gobble gobble), but alas, no choice in the matter. Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I already hate what I see happening to my body at 36!

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 > I already hate what I see happening to my body at 36! > > Zina It only gets worse, Zina. For instance, as your body ages, the calories that sustained your weight at 20 cause you to gain weight at 40. Muscle mass decreases with age. Next, no matter how much you exercise, there are genetic changes that ARE going to occur. Mine is a turkey neck and upper arms that swing in the wind. (And I am not terribly overweight!!!!!!!) I noticed those hanging upper arms when I was 28!! Then there is the sagging of the upper lids, or the natural thinning of hair, or the thinning of the skin.....AGING IS FOR THE BIRDS!!!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Everything sags and wiggles, fat or not. When you see your face in the rearview mirror in bright sunlight, you are shocked at the wrinkles. Re: Our ages Oh, I'm so excited, I can't hardly stand it! > > It only gets worse, Zina.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 You won't get pregnant when you have sex! You get the senior citizen discount at Denny's. Aside from that, nothing else!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Can we be a little positive about this? Things to look forward to when you are old: Retirement 50th year reunion Golf cart racing Putting all of that medical information you have in your head to use Your husband is housetrained You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room. You can date someone half your age, and you are not breaking any laws. * Finally you can eat dinner at 4:00 * Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. * Kidnappers are not very interested in you - unless you are filthy rich. * It's harder for sexual harassment charges to stick (but don't mind doing it) * If you've never smoked, you can start now and it won't have time to hurt you. * People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. * Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either. * Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size. * Your eyes won't get much worse. * Things you buy now won't wear out. * No one expects you to run into a burning building. * There's nothing left to learn the hard way. * Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service. * In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. * You are smarter, much smarter, at over 50 than when you were only 25 You enjoy hearing about other people's operations. No long walks in the parking lot with your handicap sticker THERE! Look on the bright side. Enough whining! in AZ > > Being on bottom looks better at this age than on top!
