And how the heck I am going > to blow them out :-) Yeah, I know :( In just over a month I'll be turning 50. That doesn't seem possible. How could I be that old, when I know I'm still young? And how could I possibly have a 24-year old college-graduate son? I'm much too young for that to be true :) Dan >> Thank you Dan >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Dan You have now reached "middle age". The fun has just begun! Best wishes. MLB > Yeah, I know :( In just over a month I'll be turning 50. That doesn't seem > possible. How could I be that old, when I know I'm still young? I hear ya, Dan! I just turned 52 a few days ago. But how can that be, when I had just turned 37 last year?? Joyce > > Thank you Dan > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Dan I know that feeling! When I hear about someone in their fifties, I *still* think "Oh, well, she's pretty old." then I go WAIT A MINUTE!! I'm 51!! It's so weird. I am also way too young to have a 29 year old child. How did that happen? I know this doesn;t make sense, but I am a lot younger than 50-year-olds were back when I was 20.

The mother was 25 and to me she was quite old. It is all in the perspective. MB > I know this doesn;t make sense, but I am a lot younger than > 50-year-olds were back when I was 20. I definitely feel like this. I wonder if this is a universal feeling - that is, I wonder if 50-year-olds since time began have felt that they were much younger than the 50-year-olds they knew when they were young? Or is this a Baby Boomer thing in particular? I still dress like I'm in my 20s. I don't mean I dress like people do in their 20s today, but I dress a lot like I did when I was in *my* 20s. I've hardly ever worn makeup and I don't wear "coordinates". :) I don't carry a purse or wear girl shoes. Basically, I don't look like most middle-aged women looked when I was a kid or young adult. On the other hand, I do look fairly average when compared to many other women my own age. You know us Boomers, we never grew up. I think we really *are* younger than 50- year-olds were when we were young!

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Joyce, just turned 52 Its nice to think so isn't it. Sixty year old boomer sitting here at my computer wearing Birks, Jeans, and a T-shirt. Not how I remember Grandma at 60 certainly. But my oldest grandson is in college so its kind of hard to argue for eternal youth. And doesn't help to clearly remember my dad at just about my age saying to his two year younger sister "How can our kids be all grown up when we haven't got any older". Both of their birthdays were this week. Still miss them like crazy. Jo >> > I know this doesn;t make sense, but I am a lot younger than >> > 50-year-olds were back when I was 20. [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Jo It definitely is true that most of us are younger at our current age than our parents were. Although my mother was still pretty active at 70. Still, when they were that age, 75 was a good life span. Now I think the average is something like 87. My mother is helping raise that average, since she's 94.

She was turning forty, and everyone was being miserable to her, including forcing her to have a cake, which she didn't want, and so she finally came downstairs, pretending to be resigned to the little impromptu get-together, and I swear, the cake and 40 candles all squished close on it were brought out and there was very little time to register that the candles were lit, before she whipped out a ten-inch high fire extinguisher she had been hiding behind her back and just blasted the whole cake, candles and all, to kingdom come! I'm still laughing as I write this! Hahahahahahaha!!! --tension >> when you are young time means nothing but when you are retired and >> another birthdays ( last month) passes you take time to wonder how [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Pam S. who didn't really, but it sounded good I got John a birthday card; his birthday is in early October. On the front are a couple of guys in suits, looking very 1950-ish, staring at papers on a desk. It says, "The firm of Grump & Crotchety has determined..." (open the card) "that fire damage from your birthday cake is NOT covered in your policy." John will be 60. Matthew, glad you joined us. Yeah, you came in like gangbusters which made some of us wonder about you ;) Jill >>> when you are young time means nothing but when you are retired and >>> another birthdays ( last month) passes you take time to wonder how [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Jill Yeappie never hold back if the truth hurts welcome to life is a lesson I was taught growing up but I have learned to be a little tactful in my old age > Thank you Dan > > when you are young time means nothing but when you are retired and > another birthdays ( last month) passes you take time to wonder how in the > heck did you get so many candles on the cake.
