Re: How old are we all

[Guest guest]

I like it! Count me in. They aren't the same ladies that play the stock

market,

are they?

Maybe we should be the " Green Hats " , as I'm trying to plan an estate-with

the " estate " part nowhere to be found. LOL.

Well, I definitely lost it on that one! Thank goodness I'd already

swallowed that gulp

of coffee.

Thanks for reminding me to be thankful for what does still work.

Yes!

I vote for yachts and Studleys too!

And somebody remember, if we can't find the bail bucket-

look for .

I thought it was good when the kids headed off to school, but this is the

Yep,

As they said in " Jaws " while peering into their future reflected off the

shark's pearly whites-

" Huh.......We're gonna to need a bigger boat " . , Cathie, , and I

bet there's more

coming-the " I don't wanna be 50's " crowd. . Michele, you have to stay on

shore and write out our itinerary so we remember what it is we wanted to do.

I'll be lookout (distance vision is still working) as I'll be tied to the

mast as " Maximum Queen of the Elders " ,

(I should get something out of this dumb position).

's got paper products covered...

Casey has to keep the birth certificates in order...

Pam'll organize " group therapy " ....bring playing cards.

Meg brings the hats....

Maybe for navigation, we'll do what we do-hoist the sails, and see where it

takes us.

Michele found a goody this morning that fits right in:

(http://www.salon.com/june97/columnists/lamott2970605.html)

It reminds me so of 's conversation with that stranger in the

mirror. Another classic.

When 30 yr olds look like they must be in their 20's....you KNOW.....head

for the pier!

As I expected, you are ³Younger than Springtime². Feeling like 50 is a

given when one looks at your schedule/responsibilities, etc.!

Maybe the rest of us should show up in red hats, Meg....

This is a funny thread...

Okay, what color will the hats be of our " Fifty and Over CHARGE Mom

Club. I look good in purple....

The stock market? Isn't that were they sell paper towels and toilet

paper?? Just remember what happens when we get to laughing to hard,

girls. Peeing my pants would REALLY embarrass the one who is my

son.

Guys- - I haven't been taking time to answer anything in the past few days -

but you're cracking me up!! First, I was awed by the profundity (that's the

descriptor from the root " profound " right?? I mean, I know " profoundness "

can't be right!) of 's original post. I couldn't think of a suitably

profound reply so I hesitated. Then began the silly thread on age. I'm 43

so getting right up there towards the 50 mark. Some days it feels like its

right around the next corner. Other days, I can't believe 43 really

describes me. Heck - what happened to the 20-something I vaguely remember

living in my skin? Where'd she go? When did she leave? And who took her

place? I definitely know I'm not young anymore because I can see the huge

chasm between me and my son's teen friends. But last time I paid attention,

I was them. Now I'm just not. How did that happen?

Anyhoo- thanks for the opening to thoughts of our vulnerabilities and need

for self-care and awareness. And then thanks for tempering that huge topic

with lighthearted thoughts on aging.

Oh Dear, Oh Dear,

I started this.. and yep I do get to wear a red hat (as long as it isn't as

ugly as the one Queen wore the other day) I'm 51. AARP sent me my

first 'invite' at the ripe young age 46 when they sent Dave's. We're gonna

have to get a bigger boat, gets to board too. We keep this up and we'll

have to get a yacht (preferably with a studly looking crew. and we'll watch them

bail)
