Since the name of this group is 40's, 50's and over, I thought I should try to jump in now. 2 years 3 months before I'm an 'over'. I've actually started to celebrate that in my mind about 2 years ago!!

Now, if my back and knees would celebrate with my mind it would be perfect! lol

I had a triple bypass in 2007...the scar is so faded now that unless I see it in a picture or it itches, i never notice it. But, until it faded, it was the first thing people saw when they looked at me.

If the site has healed, they have great body make-up that covers scars for times you don't want to be stared at. ;)

I`m giving this thread a little bump...

Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far.......

I`m ending my Saturday with :eatinghersheybar: and :tea:

Daisy :bouquet:

It feels good to be "new" at something again!
 

Welcome!!!

Hi there! .

Hi Loft friends,

How is everyone?
I have another birthday coming up and the years just keep flying by.

Hi Loft friends,

I hope that everyone has a happy Sunday. I am working on getting out more. I have plans with buddy's next weekend and in the coming months. I have read on this site about "meet up" groups and I am going to check that out. I am trying to find balance between a hectic work schedule and social life.

Any thoughts?

Chad

Getting out more is a great goal. I lack interest in socializing, but wish I spent more time fostering relationships with friends....go figure.

Meet-ups can be good. I have met a few people that I like through events. :goodluck:

Thanks Mel C, meet ups would be more comfortable if I had a wingman. :)

LOL. I know what you mean. We can go to a meet-up when you and the Salty one come visit. I know you meant a meet-up near you, but we all have to start somewhere.

California girls! :)

Hi. Just joined yesterday and still trying to figure out how to use the site.
Since I'm over 50, thought I'd stop in here and say hello!!

Loft
 

I am curious about how things will go from here, single and over 50. How do I date at my age?

I've only made one batch so far, but I've got the sugar cookie dough made, in the refrigerator and ready to go for the next batch. Someone gave me a fresh bag of pecans yesterday, so I'm definitely going to make some pecan shortbread too.

You're way ahead of me!

*peeking in*

I have cookies I need to bake as well. I think I'm too lazy to do it until after Christmas when I'm off for a week.

I need to set up a space to do my yoga before I worry about the baking & eating cookies though. I still have a cute dress I want to fit into by spring!

I'd be happy to volunteer to be a cookie taste tester if any of you need it.

Right! I hear UPS is delivering fast these days! :)

Hi Loft friends,

I hope that everyone is having a happy holiday season. I am on vacation at home mostly. I can finally work on my own honey due list and it is a very long list.

How is everyone's week going?
Chad

My holiday season is mostly happy so far, but I am getting frustrated with other people's schedules. My schedule is pretty full, so when other people change something I'm like :| . Also, as other people get frustrated and express their opinions, I am trying to hold back on my retorts. But you know, "He knows if you've been bad or good," so I will calm myself and not add to the fray!

Thank you GeorgiaMa'am,

I hope that you stay happy and don't let the negativity get to you.

Chad

Think of all the fun I missed. Think of all the butches that I haven't kisses. Santa Baby hurry down the chimney tonight. ..

haha sorry .... i had to correct the sentence .. and it was already past the time for editing

Happy holidays Lofters

So is anybody still around these parts?

Loft
 

Hi gayandgray,

I am here. Welcome to this thread. How is life in your world?

Chad

Hey there Chad, nice to meet you! Life right now is quite cold and full of snow. I'm anxiously awaiting Spring.......:koolaid:

Loft
 

Hello friend,
It is chilly here in Texas but no snow like in the northeast.

What are you up to this weekend?
I am sitting in my recliner under a kitty.

Chad

Just hanging out watching tv with my better half and our four dogs. I'm hoping to venture out tomorrow after shoveling some more. Have to go in town for dog food!

I really like this thread
 

Nice thread geared specifically to over 40s and 50s.

You know I have a friend from teenage years over and I was telling her that newly on my bucket list is that I think I may want to have one more relationship before I leave this 3 D world. Becoming more of a spiritualist though, I think I will let my spirit guides, angels, ascended masters, etc. choose the who, what, when and where if it is meant to be....just saying.

Well hello fellow lofters. I'm just over 50 at 52 yrs young. woohooo, on a downhill run from here on out, but I won't be putting on running shoes. lmao Have a great weekend or what's left of it.

Hello everyone! I agree, I like a place for the "older" crowd to gather. I will be 47 this June and my spouse will be 73 this week.:koolaid:

mawwwning loft dwellers
I have a FB group ..... for over 50, 60's etc..
calling it ..... Fine as wine .. some late 40 yr olds are allowed. Its a nice quiet group. no drama heh .......
anyways ..... i tell others on FB about BFP
so who al got hit with that snow storm???
Im in buffalo ..... we get snow like that all the time.

OH wow, I don't think I could deal with a lot of snow all the time! LOL!!!! I was born and raised in Pennsylvania so you would think I would be used to it, but I've been away so long I just don't like it now. I am heading back to work today after being on a 3 day snow weekend, and I'm really not feeling it! I rather enjoyed lounging about but I guess the bills won't get paid that way? Hope everyone enjoys their day!:koolaid:

Greetings all! Just seeing if anyone is around.........:koolaid:

Good Morning. Well at least it's morning here. Wow married 25 years that's a very long time. Some gay friends of mine celebrated their 50 year anniversary last Fall but unfortunately one of them passed away this year and though I’m trying I don’t really know what to say or do to help the other. Just be there I suppose, I mean five decades with another human being what could I know about that when so far as years are concerned I haven’t even been alive but 51.

Anyhow so you’re from PA, my sons have family/friends there - Pittsburgh area. I’ve only been there once. While it wasn’t especially hot I remember it being very humid, that and hilly. In parts the homes were built at such odd angles leaning into the steep. Seattle, where I once lived, has hills like that too but you don’t see homes built at a lean into them like that and wonder why there should be the need to do so in Pittsburgh?

So are you a Steelers fan? I’m not, not unless you count liking the Troy Polamalu hair shampoo commercial. We have a lot of family members here who are huge fans. I like it when they go back East because there they can get their fix far better than they ever could taking in any sports here. However then they come back and instantly begin feeling sorry for themselves what for missing soft pretzels, chipped ham, and sandwiches stuffed full of things like onion rings, hash browns – fries.

Though haven’t posted here before I usually do check this thread every day.
