Posted: 10/5/2005 4:01:15 PM | Today was a great day for me and my kids, one that I will never forget. At age 44, I will be a homeowner for the first time in my life. I was just accepted for a Habtitat for Humanity House in my town. I have been flying high all day long. I hope this next 8 months (thats how long it will be before it is finished) will go by quickly. It seems like life is finally coming in focus and I look forward to many more years of enjoying all of it. | |

Posted: 10/5/2005 4:06:23 PM | Well bucs if we make it until our sixties we'll be sexagenerians... That has a better ring to it
I can relate to Long's previous post except for the fact that I have no children. Being where I am in life gives me more freedom than most ever dream possible. Giving that up will take someone who really blows my socks off.... errrr so to speak anyway. | |

Posted: 10/5/2005 4:12:20 PM | oh bucs you're so right! a little while ago i asked my 17 year old if she knew i was a quadragenerian and she asked if it was something genetic she needed to be concerned about! we definitely need a new title...though i gotta say i'm lovin' the thread. at the moment though my creativity seems to be on a lil break so i'm sorry to say i have no suggestions.
tesaz...thanks again girl. you're right. the kittens are a riot but they sure do take a lot of energy!
countrywoman...congrats! what an awesome thing for you!
OT: today was a better day...took another couple of steps forward and had a very nice chat conversation with my new email friend. it was very nice and for a change i felt like maybe i'm making a little progress breaking out of my rut. also told him about POF and he posted a profile here at the pond...always nice to have a new fishy swimmin around!
passin'...thanks again for your kind words last night. it was truly a time when i needed them most. | |

Posted: 10/5/2005 4:27:59 PM | | sierrasman Aw...I'd call you a shameless flirt but I reserve that for me...hahaha! It's just that word doesn't roll off the tongue, and is just too long. I'm with iluvmonkeys my creativity just left the room with Elvis, but I'm sure that someone will come up with something...or maybe I'm just being overly optomistic? | |

Posted: 10/5/2005 4:54:30 PM | Wow. I would love to add something clever to this thread but do not know if I can. I am a single farther of a 12 year old boy. I think I will go play and enjoy video games for the rest of the evening. At 36, I don't want to be a "Quad"!
But, I do find myself torn between enjoying the company I have or pursuing the company I need. Anyone find a balance here? I have not been able to.
Just when did I become the grown-up?!
P.S. Way to go on the new house! | |

Posted: 10/5/2005 9:10:10 PM | I'm qualifying for the Sexagenerian This post is for all you "young" wippersnappers !!! I'm here to enlighten you all on what's happenin' in my life at "64".. (Holy God...how did that happen???? Mother Nature can be a Bit** when she chooses But..Just to let you know I still feel extremely young (physically & mentally).I'm very young at heart..Still dress like I'm 20...Feel like I'm 30 and still don't have a clue what I wanna be when I grow up !! AND the Upside is that I don't LOOK my age ...YET...May wake up tomorrow and have to do another post in retraction....but not tonight....Sooooo...So far So good ALSO I can stay up as late as I want (no job) I can wake up anytime I feel like it (no job)No stress--no pressure--no boyfriend--no hurt-no heartaches-no disappointments.
On the downside which really is not that far down !! I find that it's important for me to feel that somebody needs me....(I now have animals) & they make me feel very important when I walk in the door they get all excited and make me feel like a queen!! (smile) Also I must accomplish something every single day or I feel worthless..(I now volunteer a couple of days a week which makes me happy). And I'm looking for part-time work in between..That social security check is not quite taking care of me in the fashion I'm accustomed to ha! ha!. But I sooo look forward to getting it each and every month!!! I definitely understand about the"empty nest" syndrome...been there/done that.....Not fun!!! I sure was totally lost when my 18 year old son joined the marines when he was 18...(didn't know what to do with myself) He's now 24 and stationed in Hawaii..He paid my way there on my 63rd birthday....How cool was that???? I do love my privacy and I'm never lonely....But at times YEAH I'm missing being in love and sharing my life with a partner....Tell ya what tho..I've been by myself a for such a long time..I think a guy would have to Sneak up on me when I Least expect it and SWEEP me off my Feet!!! Knowin' it would hafta be one of those big INDUSTRIAL Street Sweepers..Later People....Stick a fork in me...cause I'm Done.... Remember..Everyday is a gift...All ya gotta do is untie the ribbon..... | |

Posted: 10/6/2005 1:30:19 AM | Destiny,
What an absolutely fantastic outlook and attitude you have. After taking a peek at your profile you certainly qualify as a SEXYgenerian but don't look the part of a sexagenerian by any stretch of the imagination. I'm going to share a quote from your profile with those who didn't get a chance to read through it.
"Life is Short..No matter how Long we live"
If we manage to keep that in mind it should help us squeeze a bit more "life" from each moment.
When I was in my 20's I was ten feet tall and bulletproof. In my 30's I was about eight feet tall and learned I was quick enough to dodge the bullets. When my 40's arrived I shrunk to 5'11" and if it's anything more than a paintball I just might whip out my pistol and take you out "Dirty Hairy" style- Feelin' lucky? By the time my 50's get here I'll be down to 4' even and probably packin' an Uzi... As I age I become less tolerant of BS from anyone but more open to new ideas and cultures. I know it sounds somewhat contradictory but I consider myself a cynic who lives optimistically- there's a paradox for you lol. Where is she btw? I bet she could really shed some light on our genre....
passin'...thanks again for your kind words last night. it was truly a time when i needed them most
Monkey's, We're all in this thing together darlin', we can try to make it a little better place for those worthy of our efforts or we can allow it to slip away from us all. And BTW, I meant every word.. | |
