One trick is to hang around with older people! Another is to also hang around with younger people, so then you forget that you're not actually 38 any more. Oh and, as far as men are concerned, just change your target demographic - I seem to be fancied by a lot of blokes in their 60s, whom I privately refer to as my 'Stage Door Jonnies'!Julia Gibbsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-77209103619136895212012-03-27T03:25:15.405-07:002012-03-27T03:25:15.405-07:00oh yeah - in a few years time, Lucy, you'll st...oh yeah - in a few years time, Lucy, you'll start to realise that you are just old enough to be some youngster's GRANDMOTHER..... I was having a drink with an old friend of similar age a month back and we were both saying how we cannot even call ourselves middle-aged anymore, we're actually OLD CODGERS. I am 53 in August, but I look and seem much younger, oh yes, yes I do, don't I??? However, if indeed you are as old as you FEEL, I feel about fucking 80 some mornings when I get out of bed and everything creaks....<br /><br />In cliched styleee, I will say to sum up that I am happier (in meself, like, though who else's self I might be happier in, I don't know) than I've ever been, but wish I had the face and body to go with it.<br /><br />Julia - I hope you smacked her in the chops so she could see that 'at your age' you can still pack a punch!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-35660775444750946092012-03-26T21:07:19.250-07:002012-03-26T21:07:19.250-07:00Love it!! Here is my take on age. I've never ...Love it!! Here is my take on age. I've never had a problem with birthdays, until this year. I know I look younger than my age. I have an almost 13 year old son. Many of my friends are much younger than me, so I guess I kind of let the number slip by without too much notice. Until this year. I went to a friend's luncheon, and I was sitting next to my friend's daughter. Her 20 year old daughter. Another women asked if I was her MOTHER. What nerve, the bitch! Surely she knew that I wasn't old enough to be her mother. Oh yeah. Right. I am actually older than this girl's mother. What a slap in the face. Just when I thought I had escaped age's notice, there it was. Sad day for me. I turned 46 earlier this year. I may get older, but I will never grow up!!Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-5375316346015376242012-03-26T11:43:47.458-07:002012-03-26T11:43:47.458-07:00Know what I hate?
