I don't have any grandkids, but I am AuntieJen and Aunt Jenny, depending who you ask! I was wild running in the bars in my 20s, I was not fit to bring anyone into this world. My sister and some of my friends have had kids in their 40's, but I can't have kids anymore, and even if I could I don't see myself as a very good influence. Laugh.
I love the more you grow, the more you glow! :) Jet, I love musicals too, I saw South Pacific live many years ago with Robert Goulet. Fabulous! Have you seen the West Side story revival? HumV, I don't know about going gray..I am not ready. When I am, I think I will go for blue and match it with all my clothes. Time does go wayy faster! |

Glad to see this thread.Thanks Jet. I'm 52, just a spring chicken. Taking care of my parents is aging me rapidly though. It's harder than having a two year old. I'm actually looking forward to my 80's when I get to be the cranky, stubborn old goat.

Thanks Jet for the thread here! I'll be sure to stop by often!

Hey there...I know what you're saying. I'm 53 and the roles have reversed with my dad and I. He's so cranky and mad ...and stubborn as hell. My father and I had falling out for awhile over my sexuality...something else he could pick on...but we've reconciled. But to give you an exact idea of my dad...how he sounds and looks and moves and his bigoted vernacular.....Gran Torino totally with Clint Eastwood. It's my dad ditto up and down..not to mention my dad was in Korea. So I hear what you're saying. Welcome to the thread and free to share whatever/whenever you like. |

OMGoodness.. I have had the child / parent role switch on me just this year... it is not easy at all to take care of your parents... expecialy when they are still up and able but not quite all the way and have intrusted you with their stuff and well being. Believe me... I love role playing... BUT NOT LIKE THIS. I don't want to be the MOMMY/DADDY! |
evening lofters is a pleasant evening here in the indy area i have a early morning wake up..want to beat the rush hour traffic.. heh |
Yay! Love this.
I'm 54, and after 12 years, am about to be single again. Should be interesting. Anyway. Great to see this board and be a part of it. |

hello bella [_]D |
I'm enjoying this thread....reading is fundamental.

knock-knocking on 48, or 49 ... I forget.
At any rate, I havent celebrated a birthday in ages. Maybe thats why I feel young, ignorance is bliss. but then there's that constant noise : creeek, craaack, groannn. |
Now that I am almost 57, I get softer instead of tougher, I cry more, I hurt deeply, everything is closer to my skin.
I don't recover as fast and any set back is a chasm rather then a crack in the sidewalk. I am more sorry for my mistakes. I see some things clearer and am less tolerant and more stubborn in some ways. I am less patient with fools, know-it-alls, liars and bullies. I am more patient with people that I love and respect. I smile from the inside out when happy and cry. I cry from the inside out when hurt. I remember as my Grandparents aged they cried more...at everything...Goddess help me... I still go out. A lot. I have a full schedule. I drink less but I still enjoy a very active social life. I am taking better care of my health. It may take my hips and knees a couple days to recover but I can still salsa and rumba with hip swaying joy! I am still a night owl, I still get by on 6 hours of sleep but I love taking short naps in the afternoon. I love the nightlife.... |
I am concerned with the healthcare system. We all know its broken. I am not sure of what the future is going to bring. It does make me nervous. This week I got a bill from my insurance carrier for $80 for my flu shot. Yep. I almost fell over with that one.
I live a full life. I have a very full schedule. I volunteer, and I also make sure to donate whenever I can. I want to make a difference in the lives of animals as well as people, esp. children. I am very cautious with the relationships I have now. Some are golden, and some I don't even bother with. I do know that I thank God for my adopted family and my siblings there. I do think about the future and what is in store for all of us. :deepthoughts: When my sister, JoAnn, died, a part of me died. I really thought in the back of my mind that she would be one of the lucky ones who would overcome the melanoma. No. That wasn't in God's plan. In turn, I have had to make peace with letting her go. It isn't easy. Not by a long shot. In fact, I think it is a wound that never really heals. I know in 50 years from now, I will still remember my beloved sister, and I will still miss her as much as I do today. |

I totally get what you're saying and just thought it was me. I'm just turning 51 next month and my emotional state has changed so much over the last year. Softer as I age is a great description. Along with the less tolerant and more stubborn (lord help those that know me). I sleep less than I used to. I'm lucky if I get 3 solid hours before waking up. Thing is, most days it's enough for me. I have to have a week of little sleep to want to nap though. I think that when we go through the change of life (I'm still in it), it's natural to get this way. |
Atlanta 1:17 am EST
I've been on this computer since 12:30 yesterday afternoon. Doing art, tutorials, and conceptual design. I fixed a great cajun soup and cooked up some chicken in apricot perserves and butter. Can't get enough of that. Anyway just dropping in late tonight; I like the quiet. And I'm proud that I moved through a lot technical art stuff all day and still managed to get a workout in. I'm waaaay overweight these days an working like hell to get it off. Anyway Lofters have a great day and if I don't pop in tomorrow, have a nice Thanksgiving. |
