What if..
 

I'm in my 30's act like I"m in my 20's and don't mind at all. =) work hard to play hard.

Just turned 30 too. Back in February. I suppose its not as terrible as i thought it would be back when i was younger! LOL

I think...
 

my 30's have been the best years of my life so far on a whole. Financially, emotionally, spiritually...
In my teens I thought I knew everything. By my early 20's I was pretty much sure of it..The second half of my 20's and the beginning of my 30's have been spent re-learning what I thought I already knew. If that makes sense. It took everything I have gone through in my life to get to where I'm at now.. and I look forward to what the 30's bring.. =)

I'm 35 and know senior citizens that have a more exciting life then I do. I'm really too old for the clubscene - 20 somethings spilling beer on me just doesn't amuse me like it did when I was 20 something. I'm too young to join a bowling league - 50 somethings spilling beer on me doesn't appeal to me yet. And I'm too out of shape to join a softball leauge. Sigh.

My daughters think I'm old. In fact my youngest said that she thought Madonna was dead a few days ago. She was shocked to find out she was still alive. I have to fight with my right hand and brush to not do 80s hair when I'm getting ready to go out. It took a few years to not want to roll my jeans. I've finally accepted the wide leg look and now - fuck - it's skinny jeans that are all the rage!

Somedays I miss the simplicity of playing the Oregon Trail on those neon green screens in the state of the art computer lab in Jr. high. lol. All three computers that played the one game and I failed typing tests on. I miss being in a boys car only because he had a car phone. LMFAO! Remember those? Actually attached to the car and the size of an infant.

I'm at that age where I know just enough to be dangerous....and still think that Lita Ford was badass.

Braedon,

Once you get out of your twenties, you realize, how much life is different. For me, I am 36, I have quit my job and moved back home. I am loving the fact of having all of my experiences in life to tell my oldest niece and nephew. I hope my experiences in life, help them. I want to see them go to college earlier than I did.

Have a good day,

Zimmy

I am enjoying being in my 30's and wouldn't give it up if I could. I have learned how not to take negative people with a grain of salt and allow their negativity to roll off of my back. Appreciating life and knowing that fate had something good in store for me and that is why I am now back home on the East Coast of Florida. Telling my oldest niece and nephew about the traveling I have done and how I have lived in Boston for awhile. How I am still dreaming of having a baby and having my best friend ask me if I am crazy about raising it on my own. Still listening to the music I grew up with, I am still a die hard Crue fan and laughing at my best friend's little boy the other day when he started dancing to GN'R's November Rain.

I wouldn't give these memories up for nothing.

Have a good day,

Zimmy

I'll be 35 this year and so far my 30's have been pretty good. There are days when I act like I'm still in my 20's and other days when I feel 50. One day at a time is all we can do. :sunglass:

I could buy cigarrettes and beer when I was 16 - no ID needed. <---Of course not that I did anything of the sort! :eyebat:

Now with all the laws, the poor 13 year olds selling the stuff at the grocery store are so scared that they'll card you for buying a lighter.

Being a Gen Xer is not as bad as the baby boomers and Gen Y thinks. I think we have seen some pretty damn amazing and horrifying events in our lifetime. We are the generation that that saw the advent of home computers, JR get shot, and disco lose the race to grunge. We are witness to many great things and we should be proud as beans to have out lived some of the world's worse pandemics. We are hard workers, but not willing to break our backs for a buck (smarter than the last generation, I say), but not so spoiled that we expect our parents to take care us in their golden years. Cheers to us Gen Xers!

I find comfort in the fact that my generation is aging with me. I wouldn't mind getting to be a bit more immortal, but I wouldn't want to be part of those younger generations. I'm attached to Gen X, and I suspect I still will be when we're old.

***Late entry***

I am a proud member of the 30's crowd, 33 is a great number!

HOLY CRAP I found it thank god there are others on here that are in my age group!

< 34 year old fart LOL

Glad to see this thread! :) I remember when there were just a handful of people my age when I first discovered the online butch-femme communities about 10 years ago. I'm 34 now. My, how time and perspective change!
