My hair has gray highlights, and no, they're not from the beauty shop.....they're natural. The wrinkles around my eyes I like to think add character to my face and if you look past the wrinkles you'll see a hint of a sense of humour in my blue eyes. The age spots on my hands and arms I'm hoping that someday they'll run together and I'll have a really nice tan!! The weight that I have added through the years I use as a life preserver when I go swimming. I have days where I absolutely cannot add two numbers together and get the same answer twice. (I had this happen recently too!) The memory has gotten really bad. I finally remember names that I couldn't think of... the next day. I forget everything!!!! I have Post-it notes all over the house (which reminds me I need to add another one!!) I wake up in the night throwing off my covers only to turn around and pull them back on. There are sooo many other things and if I could remember them I'd write about them too. I guess you'll have to wait until tomorrow!!!

I can SO relate to most of what you just posted! I am 46 and just slap falling apart! There is still hope and there is still time...hope I find it!

hey, you know what they say: they're not hot flashes, they're POWER SURGES.

I should know--I have been surging a lot the last 6 months or so.

Boy I can relate to all this. I am in my early 40's and a lot of those things are happening to me. I just had to get my first glasses!! Progressive lenses!!! And the memory is going, or is that just stress!! I even had someone tell me my husband looks younger than me and he is older!! He can at least wear a baseball cap to cover his grey hair and resceding hair line! And how many of you have kids that think you are the biggest nerd!!!

Oh whoa is me!!

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ~!!!!!

IF I could afford ALL you did Surfie ...I would be right in that Surgery line !

I TOO am feeling AWFUL at 47. Just awful. Hair is falling out....headaches .....tired ALL the time.....boobs are in a totally new place .....my back is killing me because it has to hold up the front....
and it seems what USED to be mine is not anymore

My legs look like someone elses and we won't talk about the butt. What used to be an ASSET is now something I want to hide. I won't even wear shorts in public anymore

I used to love WEARING wedgies (shoes) ... Now a wedgie is something I GET from my undies.

lets talk about that Nordstroms butt thingie.....what on earth is it ?

[Chelsey]

LMAO!!!! I can SO relate to this!

My butt??? is NO longer ... well it might be there somewhere, but not where it should be. My boobs (if you can call them that) need Push Up bra's or else i look like a boy.My legs, let's not talk... my skirts get longer each summer.

People tell me im starting to look more and more like my mother


I need some magic make me young again pill's!!

[red98vett]

LOL !! I thought of getting a Wonder Bra.....Tried on the biggest one and thought ....I WONDER how I can function with my boobs under my chin again.....lol...I did get used to their new zip code....but I can't get used to my butt leaving town

and Mandy - quit crying - I've SEEN your picture....

I'll tell you a secret - my oldest son will be 20 Freakin EIGHT in April - that's 28 YEARS OLD.....didja hear that - 28 !!!! I STILL smell him as a baby.

When your kids are over 25 ....THEN you can cry you feel old.

oy do I belong on this thread, I am 60 and going strong,now here is an idea I have used for years,and really think about it,There is NO sin in lying about your age,but most women get it backwards,sence I am realy 60,if I were to fib and say I was 50 then I look like h*ll,yet if I say I am 70 then I look great fantastic and all of the words we like,its not really the years we add,its our life and love of life that really makes the differance,at 60 I am the best I have ever been, I dont care if my tummy has extra stuff,flab,it earned it with 7 kids,the grey hair I call silver,makes the grandkids love me more,they call it my heavenly halio,in the sun it looks like its shinning sparkels,the wrinkels make me look happy all the time,not sad,my yorkies keep me going,and I dont plan on stopping for a long time..my only hope is that the day I die,my heart stops beating at the same time,no sitting in a wheelchair for me,give me my convertable on a summer day,my babbies in thier harness's and the wind blowing our hair,and we are off on the road of the good life

[bchgirl]

Whew, I am glad I'm not forty....LOL. I think God has your eyesight go at forty something....so you can't see what's happening to the rest of you

What makes me stop and think....when I run into a high school classmate....sometimes I think....oh, she's not aging well. It finally dawned on me....perhaps they're thinking the same thing about me

Similar to what I told my father when he mentioned that we (his kids) were getting old at 51, 45, and 40....if we were old...what did that make him

Personally I am waiting for the surgerical procedure that moves up the tummy and turns them into boobs

[Chelsey]

Oh GOSH, wonder bra, wonder pill's i need it all.... my butt has NO shape, well there just is NO butt ... i need to go out and buy some boobs... my husband tell's me to blow on my thumbs


Butt - boobs - legs are history lol

[red98vett]

Speaking of bras....(some have seen this pic sorry !)

THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AFTER 40.

Your Pretty sexy Bra will be no longer fit...you will NEED new bras...

What you WILL end up buying ....will double as a Sunhat for your yorkie.
