Aint that the truth!

Discussing skin care products has become a bonding time with my Mom. She is 83 and barely has a wrinkle. I am 56 and beginning to be indistinguishable from a char pei.

And the cost?!? WTF, this puts a damper on the expensive socks budget.

When there is a hot leather event in town and I have no desire to go out in the rain and cold and be social. I would rather be home, cooking a nice meal and chilling and going to bed early. lol...

Exactly. My mother looks fabulous. See, we should have always "listened to our mothers" and done this earlier.

Fortunately, my mother's glee at being able to share something "girly" with me resulted in her not accepting money for the bottle.

If you have skin, moisturizer is your friend.

I have virtually no wrinkles at 50....and it's all about being a moisturizer freak starting at about age 20.

I use lotion and always have..oil of olay..all the women in my family have used it and we all have great skin.Now if it would onlky work for aceing joints it would be nice.

When you go out to a "late lunch" so you can be home and in your comfies before all the Saturday night dates begin..less traffic, and no waiting at the restaurant!

Blade · 03-31-2012, 07:56 PM

when getting the mower to run is the highlight of your day....geez it's a boring life getting older LOL

deedarino · 03-31-2012, 08:19 PM

Omg I stood in front of a WALL of moisturizers today...it was too overwhelming. I had no idea which one to buy so I bought 3. One of 'em has to work!

you know your getting older when you have to call your son in law to ask how their damn tv works and the 5 yo granddaughter pipes up i'll show you granma

when you read half way through this thread and laugh your ass off because you can so relate to the first 500 or so posts.

when you prefer one or 2 channels to 500

when your knees ache due to the storm blowing in

when you decide your gonna subscribe to "how do you know when your getting older?" and actually look forward to the future posts

when folks randomly talk to you about menopause and diet and talking with your best friend about her ibs issues has zero affect on you.

when 6 months before your birthday you age yourself and then forget so when your bday rolls around you age yourself again...<---kid you not I've done this twice

when cold sweats and hot flashes collide

when you cant read Kobi's posts because the font is too small and your glasses aren't helping
