| What's wrong with looking, thinking, and acting your age?
Posted: 11/1/2006 9:55:40 PM | Don't want to get too far off topic here, however, ya more then welcome browneyedgagirl.
Glad to hear that you had a few good chuckles, gal, it was not easy as a Canauck, to try that southern drawl. lol lol And I can now see where you are coming from, when you say that you are losing your Texas accent for more of the southern drawl.
Anyhow back on topic, it was good to have ya, join in our little debate here, and ya, hey, I would definately not turn back the hands of the clock, for my younger years.
I love 51, and that is the way it is, and going to be.
Anyhow browneyedgagirl, y'all come back now, ya hear.
Oh man, that was NOT easy. A real tongue twister, I don't know how they do it. | |

Posted: 11/2/2006 2:22:20 AM | Yes, the Beverly Hillbillies line can be a tongue twister, but it makes one feel good and laugh a little, which is the key to NOT growing "cranky" as you get older! I stand by what I always say, age is a mind ove matter thing. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. I actually got that from my ex-husband, not realizing that was his philosphy in all areas of life, until he married a girl three years older than our son!! lol!
Have a great one, Canada! | |

Posted: 11/2/2006 11:37:23 AM | Hey browneyedgagirl:
Welcome back.
Good pointer browneyedgagirl, got a few laughs out of what ya said, but ya, the
Beverly Hillbillies were quite the ones to give ha some good laughs, and to also releave our CRANKYNESS when we get older.
Ya, we do have some flaws when we get on in life.
I always say, age is a mind ove matter thing. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. I actually got that from my ex-husband, not realizing that was his philosphy in all areas of life, until he married a girl three years older than our son!! lol!
lol lol, good one browneyedgagirl, ya how so true at times, but, guess it also comes down to state of mind.
Anyhow, thank you again browneyedgagirl, for joining us up here.

nothings wrong with it... a few should embrace it!
Good point, Fluffy, and ya, we should embrace our age.
I guess with us older folks, well, we get to a different stage of life, then ya youngins.
Whoops, now Fluffy is going to get mou for using youngins, instead of over-emphases. lol lol
I am just teasing ya, gal, ya know me. | |

You just reminded me of something my son said about six or seven years ago. He told me I was antique. I asked him what about a friend of ours, since he was seven years older than me. He said he was ancient! Well, it's almost Friday, and stupid me tried to do a "project" on Halloween (man, you'd think after 19 years of teaching I'd know better!), so my butt is kicked! I think I'll pretend to be geriatric and go to bed early!!
Good night, BC/Canada, from Eastman, Georgia, USA! | |

Posted: 11/2/2006 8:03:03 PM | Ahhhh browneyedgagirl:
That was a gooooooooooooooood one:
Laughed my butt off on that one.
Got to admit tho, learning is a life long process, and I guess even after 19 years of teaching, ya can still learn more.
However, those learning processes that come in the later stages of life, come as learning process surprises, cuz ya never know what your going to learn until it hits ya.
Kind of like a box of chocolates, cuz ya never know what your going to get until ya open the package. lol lol
Thank you browneyedgagirl, and a good night to you in Eastman Georgia USA, from BC/Canada
Ok gal, y'all take care, and c'mon back real soon, now, ya hear. | |

'But on the other hand it takes three days to get over a woman as opposed to three months . | |

Posted: 11/2/2006 9:16:01 PM | Well I haven't read all this thread but I beleive that we all will have an opinion and so it should be but as long as some guy isn't claiming to be younger than he is with the intent to cause harm then so be it he will learn how great it is to be mature or he won't, ( I'm 52} For me, well to know me is to love me or not but I know I have some very close friends fro,16 to 80+ \, it's not about age it's about how you act toward and treat others.
And woman lie about their age and use props to back it up.
Oh ya my x was older and half or more of all the ladies I have dated were older.
Come out to a few evens and meet people and you may find the right match for you. | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 2:14:32 AM | I feel soooo much better this morning, after a night of good rest! It helps, too, knowing that tomorrow is Saturday! As far as how I'll think or act, I'm not really sure until I get around my kids. Their tones set the tone for the school day. I just hope they come in in good moods today!
Happy Friday! | |

Posted: 11/3/2006 6:11:23 AM | I heard this one yesterday..
I was talking with a group of teens (and yes, it is because of my job! lol) and we were talking about age. I said I was turning 45 in less than two months and one of the teens piped up...
"no your not.. you are turning 29 U.S."
gotta love being around teens all day.. lol | |

Its because old people (over 40) know that their 20's was the best time of their lives.
I would love to go back to the relative health and vigor of my 20s, but could also avoid some of the foolishness of that era.
[Now Kam, don't get the idea that I'm brown nosing ya because we semi-agree. lol] | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 8:06:10 AM | Well...I really have disagree with my 20's being "all that".....
I have my health, I'm in great shape, my time is my own, my career is great, my child is grown up enough that he's self sufficient and has his own social life....there is absolutely nothing wrong with being/acting your age. Attitude is everything...so is experience and knowledge....I would't go back to 20 for love or money. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 5:28:50 PM | Yuppers, alway have to be moving forward and upwards in life.
Our earlier years were good, but our later years are even better.
As the old saying goes, and it is true, good wine tastes much better, with time, and as it matures.
However, attitude, and how well ya deal with situatins also comes into play as ya move on in life.
And to a certain degree, ya also mellow out, in the later stages of life.
Them old hormones are not bouncing around in your body like they used to, when you were younger. | |

Posted: 5/30/2007 4:58:41 PM | What escapes me in the wonderful discussion is the investment in the concept to begin with.
I'm wondering how many have seen the film "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and/or read some about how thought shapes matter - even the cells and molecules of our bodies - instantly.
I could expound some here, but it would take too much space. Bottom line - I find the whole notion of attaching a number to what a person is supposed to be like as a function of their birthdate little different grading beef.
For me it means nothing, and since I've committed to some discipline with respect to the thoughts I embrace, I choose not to embrace the concept.
My interest in another derives from the chemistry I feel physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and sexually. And I could no more put a number on that for anyone else than I could myself.
It's a matter of felt energy.
Indeed, I'd offer that were any one of us given an opportunity to hang out with the Dali Lama - either in the short term or in a long term relationship (could you imagine?) - I doubt we'd be asking "how 'old' is he?" | |

It may be different for every one but IMHO we are constantly bombarded with information of youthfulness, vitality , vigor etc…(nauseating) It does however influence how many try to present themselves as they believe another judges them negatively otherwise. Perhaps we have developed an inferiority complex of sorts. Funny how it used to be different in the past when age commanded respect.
Of course most do not like the physical effects of aging and seeing younger perhaps more vital people leads us to wishing. For new relationships we may also like to please our potential partner with abilities of the past and feel somewhat inadequate that the physical strength (for men) has changed. I guess women use makeup, lifts etc for the same reasons to be more appealing.
Is immaturity attractive? I think not, perhaps it may be innocent youthful frolicking, it may be about control.
As for yourself I quote my late mother: Any woman of substance matures with dignity to become a Lady. The same applies to a man.
I think you should be attracted to an equal in mind, physically younger or older within reason (yours), but then there are those nasty chemicals…
That being said there is nothing wrong for mature adults to have some youthful spunk, fun and play times. | |

Posted: 5/31/2007 3:34:20 PM | | There are stereotypes associated with youth and there are stereotypes associated with age. They are stereotypes. One way to correct an age stereotype is to try to be associated with an age whose stereotype is closer to your own personality. Perhaps you have forgotten how many women stop having birthdays at age 29. Or is there some other technique used in todays world. We all are who we are, the problem is that the standard definitions of an "age." rarely fit the people of that age. I have a daughter age 15 who is in her second year of college. Is she "acting" her age? I feel older than I look. How should I act? With minor exceptions character, widsom and interests are not age related. Acting your age is an imposition put on those who don't fit standard expectations by those who wish they did. | |
