What with all the extra skin and hanging stuff. But after 12 months I'm caring less about age again. Half the time I can't even remember how old I am.

Lookit meeeeee!!!! Don't you wish YOU looked this good?<BR/><BR/>I admit I'm in the age bracket where although I still look good, I know darn well I'm not one of the Cute Young Things any more. I'm comfortable in my skin and wouldn't go back for anything, but I still get pang now and then. <BR/><BR/>Working at a university can be hard on the ego, that's for sure. I see girls wearing styles that I would feel ridiculous in, not because of my body but because of the decades. And I see boys who would've flirted with my 20-yo self who don't even give me a passing glance. There was a time I thought I'd be glad when all that sh*t was over, but I was wrong. :-(<BR/><BR/>In general, though, I'm happy with myself. I'm in better shape than I was 20 years ago and I wasn't in bad shape then. I plan to live to 100 and have the genes to pull it off if luck is with me and I do my bit. I just wonder sometimes if I'll hate people looking at me and seeing "just" an old lady. That's gotta hurt. Or does one get used to it, perhaps? I hope so.Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-329994348414461822008-08-20T15:24:00.000-04:002008-08-20T15:24:00.000-04:00I think it's all relative...I constantly run into ...I think it's all relative...I constantly run into problems at work with people not taking me seriously or as an authority (OK mostly the students I teach) because they think I'm way younger than I am.<BR/>Knowing the reason makes me not mind it so much.

I think all of that making an age actually the equivalent of a decade younger comes from the fact that 50 years ago making it to only 60 or 70 was a norm, now people are often much more vigorous and healthy due to better medical care and exercise, instead of retiring to a chair to sit and freeze up for years. Social Security and pensions were based on a person only living 5-10 more years after retirement. People were mostly dead at 70. My in-laws are both still working and have whirlwind social lives with heavy volunteer work too at 72 and 75! They are still van camping. They would be the new 60s.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Alice, I would think that spiritually Madonna's age would be more like 16, as she seems to be still trying on different spiritual fads. I didn't think 36 was a compliment either. <BR/><BR/>I'm 51<BR/>Look 42 (with help from my hairdresser)<BR/>Feel 60<BR/>Act 23<BR/>= 44<BR/><BR/>Which considering life experience and knowledge and how I feel with a good night's sleep and two cups of coffee and a couple Ibuprofen kicked in, and if I don't check my roots in the mirror to see how much gray there is NOW, is about right,(also according to RealAge) and some days maybe 36! Inside my hubby and I are often about 9, playing with Hot Wheels in the dirt (he has several 100, we have a rotating display in the bathroom) and riding bikes off curbs. If I could have picked an age to stop aging at without dying, just for physical condition, it would be about 34.<BR/><BR/>I like "Bitter is the new black"! But it's sad too.<BR/><BR/>My Mom just had her second 35th 1/2 birthday. We had a friend who had 32 thirty second birthdays before he shuffled off. I may have my second 26th next year! I can still remember what 26 felt like. But like junior high, I would not want to go back if I had to go through everything all over again. <BR/><BR/>Right now is the best it's ever been, not by material standards or physical ability or health, but by the state of mind I have now, and the knowledge and hard won wisdom.TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747390418220178858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-42524964963646077592008-08-20T15:08:00.000-04:002008-08-20T15:08:00.000-04:0050 or 36, Madonna can still rock out some spandex ...50 or 36, Madonna can still rock out some spandex in my book.Nitmoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108597328135023198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-70926180127241579382008-08-20T14:51:00.000-04:002008-08-20T14:51:00.000-04:00Ok, I did the real age thing too.

I need more grains - apparently 5 servings is not enough. I need 6-11 servings A DAY. Is this true? <BR/><BR/>3. I don't floss enough. Okay, I'll give them that.<BR/><BR/>4. I have allergies.

Now I struggle to do daily things half the time and the clock seems to be catching up with me. <BR/><BR/>I went to Second Life, made a cute avatar (virtual representation of myself) and acted however I wanted to. Everyone online there and in messengers thinks I'm in my 20s! <BR/><BR/>So in real life I feel and look a decade younger than I am, which sort of evens things out. <BR/>Too bad my mom and sisters insist on reminding me of my real age! My kids say I seem younger to them. <BR/><BR/>What bugs me more than anything is the attitudes in our society that make people feel guilty for aging, making us want to hide our ages!!
