			Got you all beat.  I'm in my 60s.  I was exclusively gay well into my late 20s and then opted for marriage in order to have chidlren.  Needless to say, the marriage didn't work out, but I have two lovely, brilliant grown daughters who are good people.  Replaced the husband with an 8 lb. shih tzu named Lucy.  Guess I am well over the hill.  My concepts of gay life are stuck back in the 60s. I'm told that things have changed.  Really grateful to have good health, energy and a quest for adventure.  Love overseas travel. Not seeking a romantic interlude at this point.  Just a few friends/activity partners.  Are there any interesting groups for older lesbians in the Washington, DC area?  I don't feel old enough to join anything named "Crones" or "Owls". What do mature lesbians do?  Anybody tried purchasing a small condo in FL (or somewhere warm) for winters with any success or is that just asking for more responsibility?  Just joined.  Nice to be here.

			What did you think of "Precious".  I'm afraid it will be too depressing.  Been watching all four seasons of "Dexter" and "Six Feet Under".  Shows how deep I am at my age.  I think they're both outrageous and been watching like a marathon.  Next month, on to the first seasons of "Big Love" about the Mormon fundamentalists.

			"I love being my age.  I look around and while there are some things I could have done differently, for whatever reason, at the time, I made the best choices I could.  No judgment.  Acceptance only.  Of who I am.  Of where I am.  In ten years, I'll do things differently, but I hope in the looking back on them, I'll feel similarly as now."

			Does anyone find themselves missing their childhood friends. I miss my little Joanie more and more as time passes. My dad used to talk about his friends and how much he missed them. At the time I thought it was odd but now I'm doing the same. I wonder why we do that,or am I just one of the few people that get that nostalgic? Is it about getting that unconditional love and caring? Or is it about going back or not facing death or the complexities of life or what?? I have too much time to think today. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I found that interesting and have the same experience. Suspect that the memories that have been in there lurking the longest sometimes leave the strongest imprint. I find myself wondering about childhood friends, casual acquaintances known for a day or two 30 years ago. It's peculiar. I think about the little butch in grade school that I used to play doctor with :-) Agree that it's a strange sense of nostalgia. They say that the truly elderly tend to relive their infancy. I find that frightening, personally.  |

			Jude, welcome to BFP and welcome to The Loft. I hope you make lots of friends and participate in many threads. Heck, you can come to our first reunion and meet many of us in Little Rock. I'm sure some will be coming from your area.

			my best friend has been my best friend since the first day of first grade. We have suffered through so much together and have lost each other and found each other and support one another and get in each other's faces when we are acting stupid. I am 53. We celebrated together when we could finally get an AARP card!
