counting too, especially since my children are so young and some of their

My mother stopped counting when she got to 29. She stopped again at 39 and I
believe she is now holding at 49 although her husband is over 65.

Don't we realize that we're all on the same one-way road and that we can't

I hope to live to a very old age, provided I have my health, which I
try to keep up by living a fairly healthy lifestyle. Death is not
something I want anytime soon. Then again, I don't fear aging, it's a
natural process we started the day we were born. Cronehood looks

44. or .44?
goddess...@my-deja.com
In my family, we don't grow old until we're about 90. My mother is
nowhere near old. My grandmother is getting there, though. She's aged
a lot since my grandpa passed away.
goddess...@my-deja.com
On the years that reversing my grandpa's age would make him older than
he wanted to be, he would say he was my age. He could do that, since I
was his 56th bday present.
Nessa
When my son was born I was 24.
My mom was 48 because she was 24 when I was born.
To realize that when I was 16 my mom was my age and I thought she was SO
OLD!.
When I turned 30 Mike looked at me in all his 6 yr old innocence and
said:
"30!! that's so old. How close to 99 is that?!?"
almost died laughing...
best story:
I have a friend who is a student with me. We are about the same age and
all the youngsters in class see us as old and wise.
We had to get together and work in groups and one of the young
whippersnappers said: I want to work with you guys cause your older.
We looked at her and said Do you maybe want to re-phrase that?
She tried: Well not old, more mature.
My friend looked and me and said "I can fake it can you?" We laughed
so hard and I remember my mom telling us that they went sledding down the
hill with their friends one nite after the kids (ages 12-15) went to
sleep. This means that my mom went sledding down a hill around 1 am in
the morning....
ah to be able to check out with her what she was like at 40.

My cousin is 51 and has a 20 year old, nationally seeded tennis player daughter
who Columbia University is paying to attend the school for academic reasons.
In addition to those assets, my cousin and her daughter look like twins...the
kind of twins who, when they entered the reception at a family Bar Mitzvah a
few months ago, made the band stop playing just to look.
There are other stories about the 'twins', like causing a boat to run aground
when they were standing on the bow of my boat in bikinis, but that sum it up.

Where the heck did this all come from? I was referring to the fact that
there are good genes in our family. My grandfather always looked
younger than men 20yrs his junior. My mother does not look old enough
to have a 34yo daughter. This is being pre-occupied with staying young
at any price?

If we have to lie about our ages for the sake of a certain image, the answer
is emphatically _yes_! Why not be honest about the truth of the age - let
people be glad to see how older people can sometimes indeed look younger
than what they really are! Then it's something to rejoice in. If one
instead has to lie and freeze things in a time-capsule of sorts, something
then surely is very wrong!

Did I say anything about lying? No, I said my mother sometimes tells
her co-workers that I am her little sister. She does this in a
joking way. AFAIK, noone has believed her for more than the two
minutes it takes for the two of us to crack up laughing.
What I did not mention is that my two younger sisters also work there.
It is a small hospital. Everyone knows we are her daughters. Also,
everyone says that we all look like very much alike.
Have you never had fun joking around in such a manner?

Then I truly apologize. You will have to take a few (or more??) of my
posts with at least a grain of salt. Luckily, I grew up around my
mother's family rather than my father's. A bit of dry, cynical humor
abounds, but it's all done with a twinkle in the eye and an attempt to
keep the corner of the mouth from turning up into a smile. We love to
play. The problem we have is not one of not seeing humor in situations,
but rather one of noone else seeing the humor that we see. Tends to get
us into a bit of trouble from time to time. That goes double for my
youngest son. People don't expect that kind of humor from a 10yo.

I was showing the preschoolers _National Geographic_. One of the pictures was
of a shriveled mummy.
One of the preschoolers said, "Eeew!"
I told him, "That was a prince who died thousands of years ago."
He thought for a moment. Then he said, "Did my mommy know him?"

That's pretty obvious, no offense meant. I joke about the anniversary
of my 39th birthday, but quite proudly admit to my real age of 44,
because I don't look it, or act it. I may get old, but I'll never
grow up!

I refuse to get old until I'm 90. And Chewy can't get old, either. I
refuse to allow it.

What's there to obey? My magical powers of love and laughter will keep
him young forever. That's what he gets for marrying a goddess.

Well, if marrying you keeps men young forever, can I at least be your friend?

Well, sure! A goddess can never have too many friends... especially a
headstrong goddess with a severe case of open-mouth-insert-foot disease.
