We used to laugh at the old folks. Now we ARE the old folks. <Sigh>
My wife just turned 72 and keeps saying she's OLD!! I keep reminding her she's not old, just oldER.
When she says she feels old, I'll give her a big squeeze on the behind and tell her she feels fine to me! lol
It’s gonna be a choice between more wrinkles or getting fat.
My azz is so big now I don't know how I don't tip over backwards that is until I realize girls are almost as large like my tummy. Guess it evens out. But that azz can't be hidden anymore.
lol - I want to be confident enough to give up the underwire bras - and just be free like a lot of the older ladies!!!
You don't have to 'be free' to give up underwire! To me that's uncomfortable, but I gave up the wires about 6-7 years ago. There's truckloads of wireless bras now that are super comfortable, and not like sports bras where you're just mashed into a uniboob. Check out Bali on Amazon. Even Hanes makes them. Way less expensive than wires, too.
For me, I've realized I have outlived my dad by almost 8 years already, and I'm narrowing in on my mom's age when she died. And my younger brother is not too long for this world I fear. Makes me wonder somewhat regularly why I'm in fairly decent shape for turning 64 in a couple of weeks, when I haven't led the most disciplined life when it comes to exercise and taking care of my body right.
Planning trips in 2, 3, 4 years, and wonder if they will happen...
I never gave a thought to this when I was younger. The future was always wide open to ideas and making plans.
I worry about losing my hubby and being left alone. I can't imagine life without him.
A saying that goes around Facebook: I always knew I'd get old, but not this quickly.
Gouligann, reminds me of after my mother died at 91, Dad mournfully said, “I knew we were all mortal, I just never thought it applied to your mother and me.”
Re the thrust of OP’s post, I think I’ve worn my last skirt. I kept one when I retired and packed up to move to my retirement location. After five years of never wearing it, I threw it out. Have one or two slightly dressy pants and tops for weddings or funerals (e.g. they’re not sweats or tees) and that’ll see me out. Glad even formal events are so much more casual now in terms of what can be worn.
