not getting any younger

guess what happened today?  You will never guess....

give up?

......

Someone reminded me that I am old. 

Exact quote, 

"you are not getting any younger" 

then made a reference to menopause and how soon I won't even crave, need, or want sex anymore.

I'm going to be a whopping 50 years old in January. I will agree that I am older, but I am not as old as 

Christie Brinkley (64)

 Molly Ringwald (50) She is a month older!

 Sandra Bullock (54)

I am gonna throw it out there that they still are fairly viable women.  Not quite ready for pasture.

I get it.  We aren't 25, so we become OLD....

please refer to this post :

Why do their new girlfriends look like the old

My opinion on all of this is that once we become older women, we become more valuable as humans. 

Think of all the experiences we have. Many have lived a full life, birthed and cared for children, received an education, married and survived (joking), and bled for a quarter of their lives. It's a pretty amazing feat.  Then add the fact that many of us have raised little humans to grown, adulting humans all the while sacrificing fun, intelligent conversation, work, and our body shapes often without really complaining. Ok....we complain, but it is worth it. 

I am going to think ,and suggest, that we hit our prime around 44 -50 and probably our intellectual and our philanthropic prime ....well ,I bet that continues until we cannot empathize and help anymore = deathbed.

I would like to also think that getting old does not scare me at all. It does, but not the getting wrinkles kind of old....it's the getting sick kind of old. I want to be able to continue enjoying my prime with good health. Not bad knees and a shitty ticker.

Also, seniors still have sex....I looked it up, even though I am a nurse and I see Cialis on a lot of OOOOLLLDDDD men's medication list. ( Guess they could be having sex with younger women) 

Anyways I looked it up 

per Dr. Mark Stibich, "While the frequency of sex often declines with age, older adults can and do have sex. In fact, roughly 40 percent of men and women aged 65 to 80 are sexually active according to a recent survey, and women in their 70s often express more satisfaction with sex than women in their 40s."  

Encouraging, looks like I have my 70s to look forward to. 

After all....look at Betty White

I'm so gonna be a Betty White

Better yet, go watch Harold and Maude

There is no sweeter love movie

 xoxoxoxoxo

So, If I'm old....or not getting any younger, I'll take it

xoxox. write ya later, 

ps if you ever want to make me super happy....

Watch Harold and Maude, better yet watch it with me

Screw old:  2 months from 50....

Why do their new girlfriends look like the old ?

I have had some thoughts lately about this.  I know it drives me crazy because it is such a double standard. It is not a new thing 

Elvis and Priscilla, she was not even 14 when they met. We will give him break because it is the South after all.

This subject mostly revolves around musicians because I have only ever dated rock guys....so it hits close to home. 

The case of the forever younger woman. 

They just keep getting younger

Or the rockstars keep getting older and older?

What the hell....

and........younger.......and younger

I would ask....does she really have sex with that man?

We know the answer is yes.....they have a new set of twins.

55 years younger.  

We have a friend who is a well known rockstar ( not pictured here ) and this came up while following an instagram feed. I kept saying, " I didn't know ____ has a daughter.  Look how cute she is....looks like she must have just graduated....Look at this cute picture"

other half says, " oh, that?  thats his new girlfriend."

"where's his wife?"

"Well, M, when someone gets a new girlfriend, the wife is usually not in the picture anymore."

"yeah yeah.  I know!  But this gal looks 22...."

"I think she is 24, or so" 

OR SO?!  He's 55 OR, SO

What does she do for him, besides set up his new iPhone and talk to him about the Kardashian new line of lipstick?

Here's the last fucked up part, I have noticed how most of the young new girlfriends look identical to the way the wife looked when they were that age.  hmmmm

Ron Woods with Jo in 1985.........

Ron Woods with  Ekaterina Ivanova   18 years old? circa 2009 or so

See what I'm talking about

Boy the resemblance is striking.  Wouldn't you say???

So if you are married to an old rockstar and their career starts to revive at age 50, ya better get your paperwork in order....because you will be replaced.

Write ya later, 

If I haven't been replaced,

Invisible Woman

Not quite a super hero, just over 40.
It's weird.

40's, the best years of my life so far (yeah yeah, I'm barely into them, but yet they have been good), yet I have become invisible.

it bites.

What is this Cougar Business?  I don't care for it...

MILF was cute when I was 30...but something about Cougar that makes me cringe...

makes me think of Betty White dressed in leopard print.

Or maybe Ruth Gordon.
Although she was hardly invisible, huh?

I should just take Maude's advice...

if you wanna be free be free!!!!

Click the link to watch the entire movie

I highly advise you too...

It was life changing for me at age 13,22,34 and now again at 41

Love is where all of us belong...

Don't wear fear or nobody will no you are there...
