Well I had a discussion with my daughter last week about "growing old" and worrying that I would turn into my mother. (Way too complicated to explain that one.) Anyway my 23 year old daughter told me she's not at all worried, because she says I will never get old. "You've kinda got that Peter Pan thing going on Mom."
Now many people would be offended to have someone tell them that, but that was like the nicest thing she possibly could have said to me!
By the way, I always heard you know you're getting old when your Broad Mind and Narrow Waist trade places![QUOTE=Hillhoney]By the way, I always heard you know you're getting old when your Broad Mind and Narrow Waist trade places![/QUOTE]
Thats funny !!
And your daughter sounds like a charm!!
i am old! sorry to burst everyone's bubble. i am close to 48 (this month). i have had severe RA for 21 years and 4 months. i have never been pain free in all that time. it has kept me from many things. i have less than 3 hours a day to do things and that is on a good day. i feel guilty because of the hardship i put on my husband. my disease has cost us financially, emotionally, blah..blah..blah..blah. many times i think about how much better off he would be without me. p.s. we are under tornado warnings so my body is at war! wonderwoman broad waist count me in! w.w.
[QUOTE=Hillhoney "You've kinda got that Peter Pan thing going on Mom."
the only Pan thing i have going on
is a Bed Pan....
Well... to bad they do not make scooby-doo under-roos in my size. Maybe they will make me feel young.
I am probably young at heart, because I LIKE toys! I visit the toy department first in every store we go to. I do not buy much, just what my kids collect or hubby collects. I did have a thing for Littlest Pet Shops, but they raised the price and the good ones got hard to get.
i would like some wonderwoman underoos. in very large people size
Gee, perhaps we could use Sponge Bob jammys for incontinence?o'k i am old what, does OT mean? what does LMAO or something like that mean? the only abbreviations i know is LOL so help us old folks out. wonderwoman p.s. yeah a diaper type undies might be better for me too. wonderwomanOT is off topic. It is used for folks who choose to read only RA related topics and don't want to read non-medical threads.
LMAO - Laugh My Ass Off
ROFL - Rolling on Floor Laughing
ROFLMAO - Well you can figure that one out!
BRB - Be right back
and there's many more.
good idea if they were made from actual sponge they would soak
it all up only prob is you would be twice the size in the morning..
thanks
I think I began to feel old when I was on chemo, but the symptoms afterwards started to confirm it. My brain still thinks I am 25
So, how old is old? 60, 70, 80?
maimi: Believe I "felt old" only for the moment. I'm 63 and when I look in the mirror I think I "look my age." However, people tend to take me for at least 10-years younger. Have been told it's because of my Love Of Life, including the ups and downs. You know - this is true!!
** Gentle Hugs ** To All
The ladies all think I look absolutely
mabulous! I probably look 10 years younger than my 55, but I am starting to feel the years just a bit.
We've just had my stepdaughter and family stay for a couple of days and I have to say that I felt young whilst keeping the 3 and 5 year old kiddies entertained but the body and mind crashed when they left yesterday. I slept from 2 a.m. until nearly midday today
At 52 I have 5 lovely and lively step-Grandchildren under 5. I think my body runs on adrenaline when they come visit me as I'm able to do fun things with them, but always crash after they go. Thankfully, at this stage the families only come stay for 2 days at most.
Midgimoo: Agreed - it's nice they come to visit for only two or three days at a time.
It took maturity to realize what our mothers were telling us, "grandkids are the greatest but it's nice to know you can send them home." * Gentle Hugs *
Well, they say houseguests are like fish - after 3 days they both need to be tossed out!
I still watch cartoons every Sat. morning. My 20 year old daughter tells me "I'm such a kid"!
The day I actually felt old was when I became a great aunt and my daughter graduated from high school. I am a kid at heart. Love cartoons and Disney movies. Have quite a collection! LOL
