Age Is Not My Friend!!!

Yet another issue men don't have to think or worry about as the birthdays come and go 080402argh_prv[1].gif. Tonight while watching one of my favorite shows "The West Wing", during commercial, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I turned to Speedbump with a horrified look which he quickly began questioning what was wrong ~ my response was ~ OMG I look like I'm six months pregnant.

He of course laughed ~ not a wise move on his part ~ and told me I didn't look like I was six months pregnant with a sly smile on his face. That usually means a very smart ass comment on his part, but his high education obviously played a great role in his refusual of saying what was on his mind. :angry.

How does age play a part in this? Well I don't mind telling people my age, basically because, half the time I don't remember it, because I don't feel like I'm 37 years old. Yet, I've noticed the closer I book my 40th year in life, certain things tend to make me blow up like a goodyear blimp.

I can wake up in the a.m. and like the way I look, body wise until I get a shower and fix my hair and face, then by the end of the day look like I swallowed a bull frog who has gas.

Why is it that women have to go through that and not men??? Why must our face, fingers, legs and feet swell up to a miserable size and men can eat everything in site and only signs their body is rejecting it is the sudden odor in the house and it isn't because they just took off their shoes!!!

I'm begining to lose my 20/20 vision, which doesn't bother me so much, some of those new fashion glasses are pretty cool looking with my face frame. I never had muCH sanity, I think the Lord forgot to issue that one out to me, so I can't tell a difference on that home front. Gravity well has taken effect ~ I'm not pleased about that ~ nothing more can cause an "ewww" effect than a woman who has little boobs pointing to the floor ~ but that is fixable :biggrin. This whole bloating issue at the drop of a hat is really bothering me right now ~ what is up with that?

For the record before the cheap seats start screaming in droves ~ no I'm not PMS'ing thank you very much!!!! Why can't us as women look as young as we feel not feel and look our age????

Ohhh well, no salt for me tomorrow!!!!

MY INNER CHILD IS A SASSY BITCH ALSO!!!!

Totally know how you feel. This age thing is crap! I guess we have to make room for the young 'uns tho... but I believe we get a better bod' in the next world, if we've made good use of this bod' in our current world, so go for it, Jamie! :-)

I think MB has it right, we have our time, and then it is time for the next generations... so sorry Jamie - you may be just starting to show the signs of aging (but, dear, you are only 37... and only starting to show aging!... that means you have a long way to go yet!)

...it's dead simple...mentally we all reach an age that we want to be at..from that moment we find people who are happy with us as we are...I am 19 mentally...I know that carolyn (my wife) is 22 mentally..and from that point neither of us gives a f*ck..when I kiss my girlie she's 3 years older than me :^) but we are both 'feeling funky'...when you asked speedbump the question he smiled an inner smile - my wife is always 22 in my head, I *never* see anything else :^)...

Hmmmm.....like a bullfrog, huh? I recognize that feeling.... Grivit!

It does seem unfair that guys don't have to suffer. I'd like to make Fred suffer for the fragrance around here!

Hey, we guys get our just desserts sometimes. Look around at all the fat, balding, sun-burned men with ugly glasses, no fashion sense and on common sense ... who have beautiful ladies beside them who love them. Attractiveness is an attitude – you've got it, so flaunt it; even a "gassy bullfrog" can't mar your appearance with the right attitude!

I really like your web site. It's very creative and neat. I think that you should use more color changing pictures. They really make your page look awsome! I think you should put some faries on there also! Also could you send me some link to your site. Bowkerd@bellsouth.net c/o 2007 Kate D.
