| How do you really feel about getting old?
Posted: 2/27/2009 5:04:56 PM | I can assure You hilly that from my position the 'conditioning' of society creates the 'aberration' about age effecting our feelings of confidence and well being!Retire at 65??????A pot belly and creased lines on the face ?fat around the chest and heave whilst walking?You have got to be kidding!!!!!!!!
Personally speaking I can assure you it is TOTALLY A STATE OF THE MIND!!!!!!
AGE HAS NEVER ENTERED MY PSYCHE' AND NEVER WILL.
USE NO FACE CREAMS,TAKE NO TABLETS AND LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST! | |

Posted: 2/27/2009 5:54:30 PM | old? whats old? old is 92.I had a very cool conversation with a 92 year old this morning.She lives with her family, works in the family deli, drove an ambulance in WWII, represented her country in her sport,writes books, looks about 60,is as sharp and witty as anything, and isnt fooled by anybody for a second!

Live every day to the absolute limit.
Be afraid of nothin.
More of life? BRING....IT....ON!!! its a wild ride.

Your never 'too' old to play like a child.  | |

Self doubt creeps in when I still want to mate and date, and not be alone, because the older we get so the prospect of sickness looms. Who will want me then?
Not that I'm going to get sick. I keep fit, eat sparsely and healthily and wear sunscreen
What else can I do besides not stress about it...? | |

Posted: 2/28/2009 6:48:46 PM | The fact that self doubt creeps in at times is very normal because we as humans can never be sure or certain about the future.Passionate interests and creativity with enthusiasm for each moment is what keeps us alive and this manifests itself throughout our psyche'.
I have seen very young people look so much older because they have nothing to look forward to and sadly the ongoing consumption of toxins into our bodies solely for sociably acceptably reasons and empathy makes me despair about their ability to shake off all viruses and infections that invade our bodies without resort to medication which in turn destroys our body's ability to thrive without scarring and displaying this 'wear' throughout our physique and image.
Seek first to heal the inner self and the outer will manifest itself naturally. | |

Posted: 3/4/2009 11:41:19 PM | Ohhh ,my lord, I've been away so long ... face... I mean FENCE sitting (Oh no, that's stiggies domain... well perhaps not, it seems hes' well versed in the face sitting pastures (pastures, oh, must be sleep deprived again... might be all that ... what was the term Namahh? Scrumpled... mmm love that terminology... I think we should start a POF dictionary imagine all the brilliant words we have invented or perverted going into it..)
Anyway... this thread is STILL going?!!! sheesh....
So back to being scrumpled, just to round off my digression, I reckon it could possibly work like ironing, if you stayed still enough each night you could flatten out any wrinkly bits, half a face=half a night of scrumpling...
Or maybe just stay up & drink red wine with silly people & laugh a lot & to hell with it!
God I get convoluted, can anybody follow this.
I've missed you all by the way... It was worth discovering the man I thought I was falling madly in love with was a cad & a scoundrel, just so I could get back here & have much more fun, .... minus a few sweet pleasures... sigh!
By the way... time has passed, we're all a little older ... tick, tick no nervous breakdown yet!
xxx You all look younger than you did when I left... you been at the botox again kids? | |

Well, 'tis lovely to see you again Cloud....sorry to read of your heartbreak (so that's where you've been!). So congratupologies for the flash in the pan...and you're right, there's joy yet at the revolving door of the Heartbreak Hotel with the regulars...have fun (again).  | |

Have fun

Posted: 3/10/2009 8:28:27 AM | El Pedrrrrro, thank you so much for the welcome back & the hybrid salutations (see we need a POF forum dictionary) you clever wordsmith you... Ah yes, sigh, shuffle... sigh again. ...Was a bit of poetic lisence though, he wasn't entirely a cad & a scoundrel.
Anyway... before I get even older I should enquire... I have a theory (which I am making up on the spot so that we remain within the thread guidelines... improvisation is my specialty)... Ehhemm, here's my theory...
I was wondering how your beloved razors were going, & it occured to me that perhaps if you scrape off a few cells every day so lovingly, it probably keeps you more fresh faced & cherubum looking, no? Better than one of those "skin peels" (ouch, sounds horrid) I suspect .
Anyway, Cheers all, still think drinking lots of water is an underated youth preserving aid. | |

I am surprised you even recognised it. Since you have been away it's had a chemical peel, some botox around the posts that were causing crows feet, a few mls of restalyn to sort out those little lines that had appeared, a brow lift on page 3, a tummy tuck on page 4, a bum lift on page 5, and a makeover by Trinny and Susanna on page 6. And for an old 7 page thread...well it only looks about 3.5 pages! I've even seen it casting a flirtatious eye towards some of the newer threads.
Welcome back to Wordsmiths Anonymous...I've missed you. Pull up a chair...at least until you find somewhere better to sit. Perhaps somewhere that kinda scrumples but isn't attached to a cad.  | |

Posted: 3/10/2009 11:35:39 AM | | Everybody is 'getting old' - from the minute you are born - you are aging - yes some of us are better at it than others - but is a fact of life - I have seen people smoke and drink their lives away and live to old age but have seen others who have never had a drink or smoke and died in their early years - you just have to get on with it and take what is dished out I spose - me - I'm turning 49 on 31 March and some days I feel old and other days I feel like a teenager but what can you do - it's life!! | |

Posted: 3/12/2009 4:40:32 PM | I like my age. I like every age that I'm at and certainly would't turn back the clock. The inevitable march of time can be enjoyable for all it has to offer.
Who would miss a child's graduation? Or them getting a driver's license? All those joys that we share with our kids because they are older, and we are too.... | |

I think I can postulate that the word your looking for is postures....face sitting postures... Assume the posture and post your posterior upon my proboscis
As for getting older, I have a secret weapon, it's called poverty, I figure that to have a mid life crisis would require spending lots of money on big shiny toys like motor bikes and sports cars, since I'm too poor to afford any of these means that I can't afford to have a mid-life crisis, so I'll have to stay younger than middle age for ever...sometimes my logic astounds me. | |

Posted: 3/13/2009 7:30:33 AM | Oh . . . gimme a break Stig . . ya blimmin' whippersnapper . . . sheeesh.
I'll be leaping one of the bigger milestones next month and not expecting any face action either.
Let's put it this way . . if I were to celebrate with a bonfire, I'd need one and a half jails. Oh . . and one and a half of those other curious items. . which leads us neatly back to the aforementioned face action.
P.S. I can lend you a sports car but you'll need to put it together.  | |

Hey thanks & I like the cosmetic surgury rundown on the post... bet it lied about it's age & posted an ancient photo too.... that's one way to stay younger I guess... Why the HELL would you do that, the truth gets outed when you meet someone anyway... sigh silly b....ers.
Now wordsmiths, that's where the sexy lies I reckon, does it for me (doesn't guarantee fidelity or integrity... probably allows more "cadism" too)... as for scrumpling, can't scrumple if you have a sexy man with you, thats for solo face down wrinkle ironing.
I see Hilly has done it again with another outstanding thread I shall have to visit when it ISN'T 3 28 am (what????) erghh... there goes half my unscrumpling time. & who was it that posted that fantastic info about sleep allows the elastins or something & if you miss out on it you never get it back... I shall be so haggard by Monday I'll be able to pop my mobile phone in my cheek pouches!
Now can I remember what stig said at this time of the morning, something about probiscis, postures & posteriors? Probably perfectly pert posteriors, prepared partially painfully, post partumly perhaps.... poooh. Problem poses placid pondering. Picked proboscoid plaintively pardonned... poor proboscis. Posteriorly pummelled. Preposterous.
Zat what you call alliteration? xxx
Good to be miserable & single again, driven to crazy forum posting at pathetic hours on a Fri/Sat morning (Not miserable at all actually) | |

Posted: 3/15/2009 10:50:53 PM | Well, I was thinking about this tonight and I came up with an interesting concept. I was thinking that if there were no such thing as time, no measure of hours, days, months and years passing, if time were of no consequence, then we would be free.
There are many of us who are caught up in time. For instance, I think and feel and look just as I have in many more of the chapters of my life. I've looked frumpy in post delivery photos, and sexy as hell in my 40 something photos.
I've seen many calendar "young" females who look like they could be my older sister or mother. and some older women who could be my sister.
I truly think your body follows your mind. As a man thinks, so is he. Its the same for women. I don't go out to impress anyone with how young I look, I just AM young in every way. My body, the longer it exists is battered by sun and wind and living, but it is holding up quite nicely!
There are a lot of women my own age who look like the tail end of hard times. I think someone somewhere down the line programmed them to think that way.....when you reach this chronological milepost, you must do this and behave this way.....
Who sets the rules? I follow my own rules with regards to my own mental and emotional and physical health. Life is good and I will not be pidgeon-holed. | |

Posted: 3/16/2009 7:31:42 PM | I use Jurlique. It is expensive compared to Loreal or other anti aging creams from the supermarket, but it is completely natural, tho not 100% natural as some items need preservatives.
Jurlique is also not tested on animals and has no animal products in their items. Most of their ingredients are organic and grown in farms directly owned by Jurlique.
You can get it from Myer, David Jones or online.
The beauty of Jurlique is the longer you use it, the more youthful you become. In my opinion, it is well worth the money. | |

Posted: 3/17/2009 3:32:47 PM | Beauty come from within, I believe. Not just your beautiful soul shining through those soulful, quirky eyes, but I'm talking about what we eat here.
Arty's Beauty Tips......the best way to keep looking young is to eat raw fruit and veges every day, cut down on protein intake, sip water constantly and wear sunscreen. As a routine if you put sunscreen on every morning, that is the best protection against wrinkles.
If I had the money would I go for a facelift? Not sure....A neck lift would be handy, but surgery seems a bit drastic, and you have to keep it up because it doesn't last.
I know women who get there face work done regularly in Asia because its cheaper. | |

Posted: 3/17/2009 9:06:35 PM | I have never really taken care of myself properly I am ashamed to say. what with 6 kids and 2 husbands , not at the same time unfortunately cos then I might have got some help now and then! I look like S**t in photos but when I go out am told I look mid to late 40s one young guy said 42 but that's pushing it I think, my point is (finally) that in my case it is genetics and for that I am truly grateful. Problem is  on here take one look at my biological age and run like hell even if they are my age, so why worry about it , just have fun, avoid negative thoughts and if you are going to smoke, drink or be merry in general , don't stress about it. Just put on your fav music crank it up and dance like no one is watching. | |

Posted: 4/15/2009 6:51:20 AM | I've heard that you can steal youth and beauty by removing the heart of a young, beautiful woman and eating it. I thought it was worth a shot. That's where the OP vanished to. In case anyone was wondering. 
Disclaimer: Apologies in advance to anyone who entirely disapproves of such tasteless humour...hanging head in shame now. | |

It's true, you can! Except I thought you had to capture the heart of a young, beautiful woman and then eat her. Doh! I've been doing it wrong all this time!
Not that I care...
Exclaimer: No apologies to anyone who disapproves of such tasty humour. Bite me. | |
