Now that most Canadian provinces have done away with mandatory retirement ages, I do see people working longer because they want to or need to work. As it stands now, the military doesn't make you leave until 60... by the time I get near there, the age will probably be closer to 70...lol I suspect 70 will be the new 40 by then...lol

Tell me about it! My Dad has inherited his mother's health and stamina. He's 81 and in better shape than a lotta men in their 60's. But he's always kept active. And that helps a lot!!! I hope I take after them. But even though I hope to inherit their good health...I do NOT WANT TO be pushing a lawn mower when I'm 95!!!

Even as a little kid, I never thought any particular age was old, or that parents or grandparents were "old."

++++++++++++

I'm the youngest of three brothers...most of my classmates in elementary through high school were the oldest child in their families. So my parents were older than just about everyone else's.

++++++++++++

If people are gonna dye their hair...they need to commit to it. I hate that skunk look so many women have. If you're gonna take the time to dye your hair, take the time to touch up your roots!

Avon makes some good anti-aging products.

A few weeks ago I was at a conference and someone I hadn't seen for a couple years came up to me and asked me where I kept my "picture of Dorian Gray!" lol

Hint for that skunk stripe... too early for a touch up.. no time?... use a little mascara on the part... works like a charm for a quick touch up - use the smudge/waterproof stuff... usually lasts until the next day... lol Hair Salons sell a root touch up for about 15 bucks... all it is is mascara. Also.. good way to use up that stale tube of masacara..

Sometimes i forget things my children have told me durning the year....like asking them for their SS number over and over. i DO write it down...but somehow it always gets “lost”!

i used to be so organized....now the best i can do is make sure to pay my bills and toss everything into one of those plastic bins to ‘look over later’....which never seems to come!

I do that too! Except I have a cardboard box instead of a plastic bin that I throw everything into to "look over later."
And, yeah, "later" never comes!

lol talk about age changing perspectives....I remember when I was younger and I thought hanging with the boys and drinkin' 40's was cool. Now I just laugh and shake my head when the lil' boys come over and drink 40's with my son-in-law.

I remember driving around and not thinking anything of it, going to see my sister here, stopping there to pick up this or that, now I'm like, NO you can't use the car, I only have enough gas to last out the week...hahahaha

I remember when tall hair was in, corduroy jeans where the style, bangles, large hoop earrings, and flared jeans were cool....Now I see them again and I'm like, really! Been there done that, got the pics....
