Well, I will be 44 in October, and my hubs will be 58 at the end of the month. There are always good things and bad things, but with the exception of my collagen, I don't think I regret losing anything. If I make it to 75, say, with all my teeth, as my Mom did, or to 90 still ambulatory like my Grandparents, that will be something to be proud of ;-)

I love those posters of the elders that say "OLD AGE IS NOT FOR WIMPS" because it's such a cop out to want your whole life to be like your youth. The whole experience is important. I think we've forgotten what it used to be like as an elder, respected, revered, honored. Now we want dessert first, we want everything yesterday, we want eternal "youth and beauty", to the point that we aren't even attracted to each other if we have a saggy rump, grey hair or wrinkles.

Sad, my dear, sad. I plan to be so sexy when I'm old that when I die the funeral director will have to take saltpetre to embalm me.

I now present to the court:

Should I plan to have the organist play a muzak version of "Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me" during the wake? (LOL)

When we think about being old broads, don't we all secretly want to be Blanche from The Golden Girls?

I love you for asking this question.
