who knows??
Have you had an invite? Oh no, I'm not on their guest list Are you?
Really??? Do I still get part of your retirement too??
uh.....nO.....
Don't get testy now Leigh...This was an agreement we made long before you came on the scene. Besides' Jerry gonna make enough retirement for four women!!
And conversation about Jerry's financial stats should probably be reserved for private email....
Oh my goodness....He and I have teased about this for so long...He knows I'm not serious...and he has never been serious about it either ...things have changed haven't they? I guess now I'll have to get your ok before I post to him... Thank you for putting me in my place.
You and Jerry have been the best of friends for years. We all know you are joking, and those that don't better learn...fast.
And friends are always there for eachother, when things fall apart. We help friends pick up the pieces & start over. NO MATTER when it happens. FRIENDS are FRIENDS ........ALWAYS |

Screw her. pssft!
I will give you a blow job if you live to be 100. (If I am still alive.) And I probably won't have any teeth. If I'm dead, I will put you in my will and pay for you to have one. Is that offer open to any others? |

QUOTE: QUOTE: I have kind of thought as after fifty as the second half. Maybe even the best half. While I can't say looseing some of my elders is not a drag it is kind of comforting to see that I have mae it way past the thirty that everyone said was the end of "life" or the empty nest. Or some of the other "annoyances" that seemed like such big deals. After you do hit a few icebergs too the day to day stuff seems pretty minor. By fifty you finally realize you have enough. And is shocking as it might be that giving away all the stuff you have collected is just about as much work as getting it. lol Now I am old enoung that all my peers are kind of catching up to me in the health issues department. Sure there are some of the ultra jocks that play at the whole fifties are the new forty balogne but a good round of tennis elbow or any number of the usual malidies that go with hard living and my experience is suddenly a whole lot more valuable than it used to be. Navy Girl you are right that a lot of people don't want to hire you but surpriseingly if you act like you know what you are doing a lot of time they will back you trying to run your own and often bet money on you over the youngins that don't have a "track record". Now that I am getting old enough that I can see growing up to be what I want to be is who I already am. Yea it would be nice to see one of these shy old farta I have become friends with for almost a decade now shake loose and throw a valentine my way, I guess hope springs eternal, because no offense to the younger ones those little crinkles around the eyes and all that life experience is really what turns me on when I dream about my future great last love of life. I am trying to get a job as a 911 dispatcher but even my friend pointed out to Human Resources that they were only hiring people in their 30s. Another thing that sucks at 50 is guys my age want girls in their 20s. This is why I gave up even trying to date or meet anyone. There are even social groups in the city I would like to join but they are for the younger crowd. I just see no joy in being my age. If someone had told me, 5-6 years ago, that I would be working at the airport mornings; selling Omaha Steaks. Hustling up odd & end handy man jobs & talking supplements to everyone I meet....I would have told you, you were full of bull. The world economy changed,jobs are hard to find; NO MATTER your age/qualifications. You might not get the pay/job/hours/benefits you want. BUT there IS something out there, otherwise make a job. History shows people that make things work for them, are those that push on thru. "When the going gets tough; the tough get going." GET TOUGH. |

Late 40's were the worst for me. Not much WORSE life can do to me.
Maybe that is why I don't mind ageing. Besides I am still "YOUNG" till the end of the earth. |

QUOTE: I am 52 and I hate being this age. What I wouldn't give to be younger.
Age is a number. How you feel/act is an attitude. I may be 60, SO WHAT?? I can still do as I want & THAT is what is important to me.

Really??? Do I still get part of your retirement too??
Thank you for putting me in my place.
