What do you feel "too old" for?

I have been wracking my brains trying to remember the lesbian bar in Garden Grove, a dive, that all the OC lesbians went to.

I went once, by myself, when I first came out. All the older butches were hanging around by the back door-looked me up and down in my femme heels, etc., laughing saying: "well, well, what DO we have here?" Kind of like I was lost in the wrong place.

Memories...

are you thinking of The Happy Hour ???

Another massive hurricane.

for all of us on the East coast.

I think I am too old to become a bitch. I simply do not know how.

Things I'm too old for:

Suffering fools gladly (which makes advancing at work difficult)

Boot-camp style workouts. They're how I lost 150 pounds, but when I messed up my knee as a result of those intense workouts, a lot of the weight came back. I really miss those.

Loving fearlessly. Too wounded and jaded for that.

Cohabitating. Oh, we can live in the same building, but maybe you need to live on a different floor from me.

Going to clubs, which breaks my heart. I don't want to look like the granny on the dance floor.

Being an activist out marching in the streets. I defer to you, younger sisters and brothers. I'll just stand over here and wave a placard.

Music festivals. I went to one recently and it just about did me in, sitting outside in the boiling heat all day.

Dating games. If you want me, and want to be with me, then do it. No head games. No disappearing acts. No drama.

Thank you Dante! SO glad you have unimpaired cognitive skills! Mine are slowly departing and long-term is supposed to be the last to go...

Yes, I even drove by it when I was in OC last week and it is now called the Hummingbird, a Ranchero music bar!

The Happy Hour is where the very butch butches looked me up and down laughing and said: "My, my what do we have here?" as I stood out like a sore thumb in my femme attire!

That part I did not forget.

Thanks

I am fortunately too old now to care what I can or cannot wear. I bought this FUNKY, again, FUNKY jacket from a company overseas. It arrived. I love it. There is NOTHING like it where I live.

A good friend said "that is lovely, but where are you going to wear it". I replied "I'm 45, I'll wear it any damn place I want".

I wore it to "wicked" and it was fun to wear.

Now I want a pair of high red heeled shoes to match the pinstripe. Seriously when I was 25 or 30(ish) I never would have worn this outfit. I was way to worried about being judged. Lordy Lordy it feels great to be over 40.

Oh and I was not into celebrating my feminine side either.

I'm only 38 and due to my arthritic knees that I acquired thanks to Uncle Sam, I defer on the stairs and look for elevators whenever I can, and I'm not ashamed of it. I'm past the steroid shots in my knees, now I get what's called coxcomb injections every six months, once a week for three weeks to both knees. It seems to help for about a month but now I can't take my anti-inflammatory medication for my knees because it has caused irritation in my esophagus and the VA wants to send a light down my throat to my gut! What joys you endure when you sign on the dotted line to serve your country. Would I do it again? HELL YEAH!
