the wife said to put this up FOR THE LADIES?
I've seen two shows lately that went on and on about how mid-life is a great time for women. Just last week Oprah had a whole show on how
great menopause will be....
Puhleeeeeeeze!
I've had a few thoughts of my own and would like to share them with you. Whether you are pushing 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your
luck) you'll probably relate.
Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.
In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wingspans. We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying squirrels in drag.
Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can see your rear without turning around.
Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.
Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube top and scream, "Listen honey, even the Roman empire fell and those will too."
Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and we're sitting on our biggest ones.
Mid-life is when you look at your-know-it-all, beeper-wearing teenager and think: "For this I have stretch marks?"
In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can retain is water.
Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally-- more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin.
Mid-life means that you become more eflective...You start pondering the "big" questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?
But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important.
We realize that breasts sag, hips expand and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade the
knowledge that you have now for the body you had way back when?
Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love we've acquired.
That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!

I'm 38 (pushing 40, as you would say), and do not have these problems yet at all. I think women now and days take much better care of themselves, and have seen many women in their 40's , 50's and 60's, that look nowhere near thier age or what was described here at all. This gave a good laugh, but I do not believe it to be true at all unless you are pushing over 70. Guess it depends on the person! Thanks for the laugh though......it was funny!

Agreed but how does Joan Collins and Jane Fonda still have sex appeal and still don´t sag etc...............Perhaps a change in philosophy may help.
