In fact I bet that "I'm 57 Not Dead" thread gets lots of posts

True story. I'm 57 and not dead.... Thank heavens. If anything, I'm at the top prime of my life. I really really enjoy life and all the other cake and frosting moments that are still to come my way.

cathexis · 04-10-2017, 10:49 PM

Am 57 as well. Guess several of us were born in 1959. I'm not dead, in fact

wild as when 25 just move a little slower and have more experience.

FireSignFemme · 04-11-2017, 04:05 AM

To tell the truth I'm too busy living to keep track of it so I had to look it up using this handy dandy calculator which breaks it right down into days, hours, minutes, seconds...

http://www.mathcats.com/explore/age/calculator.html

Long story short I am 52, so practically a baby in Sagittarius terms.

C0LLETTE · 04-11-2017, 06:22 AM

I am 71 and frankly, I cackle a bit when I see 40, 50 and 60 somethings carrying on about being "old". You are so not ready lol

Soft*Silver · 04-11-2017, 06:38 AM

I am 60 and I am not ready to give up on life and love. I am so in love with my husband...such a perfect relationship for this stage of my life. Easy, loving, radiant...

I sensed that there were more "mature" folks here than on FB groups for butch femmes. I like how our silver "sparkles" in the light of the dance...

Femmewench · 09-01-2017, 02:10 AM

Putting your year of birth with your date of birth in your profile is uncommon on this site. Knowing I'm 58 right now gives you an idea of generationally where I am: a) I know where I was when JFK was killed, b) I remember bomb shelters, c) we had the best music ever growing up, and d) I'm approaching retirement age.

I'm fairly up front about most things and age isn't an issue at all. Don't ask about my knees please they make Rice Krispie noises now, and I can no longer kneel.

Without a picture trying to figure out someone's age in a chat or on a board can be a challenge.

Dropping my $.02 in the jar.

Gayandgray · 09-01-2017, 02:37 PM

I'm 48 and though arthritis and other little things are slowing me up a bit, I still feel pretty lively most days.

A good thing too since my spouse is 26 years older than me and I'm her fulltime caregiver. We always joke that somebody upstairs must have known what they were doing when they put us together!!

That's really sweet, GG.... you and your spouse have a beautiful love story!

Esme nha Maire · 09-02-2017, 10:22 AM

59 here, according to the calendar, more like 19 socially - only just starting to live after an awful lot of stress and being way more reserved than was good for me.

anotherbutch · 09-02-2017, 01:13 PM

I am 57 also and my joints remind me every day. I'm just thankful that my job allows me the opportunity to sit/stand/walk in fairly equal amounts on a daily basis. My 8 grand babies help keep me young!!

CherylNYC · 09-02-2017, 11:54 PM

I'm 55 and definitely not dead yet. My knees, however, are far older than the rest of me. That won't stop me from dragging them around the racetrack on my motorcycle on Monday, but you can bet I'll be taking a huge dose of anti-inflammatories first!

Chad · 09-03-2017, 06:57 AM

I will be 57 this winter.

I feel great! I am pretty healthy according to my doctor.

I see that there are a lot of knee complaints here. I got a knee replacement in 2014 and it works great.

I am happy and I look forward to everything that the future has to offer.

Tuff Stuff · 09-04-2017, 03:05 PM

Always loved hanging out with the older crowd.Now that 50 is around the corner I'm wondering if a more older or younger crowd will work for me.I'm told I look in my 30's but my body feels every bit the 49 year's I've been on this planet.Physically I'm mature but all beat up, mentally my mind thinks young and I still want to grow and learn about new ideas before my time is up.

I have seen changes in this country,good and bad,lately though I feel like packing my bags and moving out.
I should really be thankful that I'm still breathing at all..getting old is not going to be fun for me, but I'm still here,that should count for something.

I'm hoping I make it to my 80s...don't see any shame in being old..nope.

Why does it have to be one or the other. Why not develop both?

Agreed. If you can still run around with the bright young things, go do it, but don't forego the pleasure of socialising with oldies. Until a few weeks ago, that was exactly my plan - still socially immature in some respects, I felt the need to try to find my feet socially amongst the youngsters. Wouldve done so (more) too, had my home city anything approaching a decent lesbian scene. At the same time, I was and am glad of the company of the older women in the walking group I'm part of. They are my social 'safe place', and keep me grounded, and have been instrumental in my coming to feel entirely relaxed about who I am. Just at the moment, they're also my lifeline, as I just havent the energy to try to chase (or be chased by!) anybody :-(

This too, will change... :-)

Hi ya

Sometimes I have the energy to hang with the young folk... lately though my energy has been running low. Yes, older folks keep me grounded..too grounded.

Blaze · 11-12-2017, 03:13 PM

My how time fly’s when your having fun and living life to it’s fullest. Strangely enough. I forgot how old I was until sitting in a meeting and glancing around the room to realize that I was in a group of youngsters tolerating my input. Lol. In my mind I still feel I am 21 , but when I mentioned a horse is a horse of course. And got a blank stare. I knew it was time to shut up. Though I am hitting the 57 rightful age next year to which is of 3/4th of life has passed. I have never felt more intuitively forthcoming. Life is more enjoyable. I don’t take things for granted anymore. And if you got an issue with me? Then it’s yours to claim. You own it! I have less to say and listen more. Only giving advice if warranted. Would I give up anything to go back to age 21? Hell No. The mistakes I’ve made. I own. The regrets are far and few. The knowledge I’ve gained? Priceless! The elasticity of wrinkles may have packed up and left. But the elasticity of life? Fantastic.

homoe · 11-12-2017, 03:21 PM

It is true......inside I sure as hell don't feel 65 I feel like I always have!

It's only when I use certain references and I get a blank stare back from someone that I'm reminded of my actual age in numbers.........
