Oh GAWD!

[roxy]

I? Am older than dirt. It pains me to admit this.Oh, I know, my youthful qualities(read obsession with tehpron) may make it hard to believe, but truth is truth.Veritas! And I am rapidly entering my twilight years.

Thank God, I have a spring in my step, and a twinkling smile yet,my eyes are still good enough to judge a package at a distance,(oOoh! teatowel or nature? Do the children even know what a teatowel is?)

Looky.

NC-47, mild youth bashing

[katholicgrrl.livejournal.com]

you are so brave to do this. I'm not going to. Today it's just not an amusing subject, since i've been pre-menstrual for * SIX * FUCKING * WEEKS * That's pre-menstrual and menopausal. Hot flashes and cramps. and * just * loving it when girls half my age natter on at me about herbs and yoga and soy, yeah i know all about that stuff and i'm doing some of it, so it would probably be worse even if i wasn't. And reading all this LJ stuff from these chickies who think JM is old, and when i found out his real age my reaction was like, Oh cool! He's only ten years younger than me! GRR, Grr, Grr...

Oh! *hugs you* Yes, it is the great suck when someone goes on and on about how youthful a person looks and then you find out they're all of forty....

It did bother me a lot at the beginning of the year, that I look more and more like a little gray basset hound(dewlaps and all) and less and less like the adorable cocker spaniel I was in my youth, but there are some perks.I just know it.

Yes, it's fucking annoying when some "kid" tries to tell you how you can "manage that change!!!" or blames every bad mood you have on the change, tsk, tsk ! (makes me want to say,listen ,little bitch, if I was going through the change. I'd kill you first and use that as my defense..) When you're my age, you can't ever be too warm (flashes dear? ) Or crabby( it'll get better,have you tried(-insert herb of choice-?)

But you know what the worst thing of all for me was? Everyone assuming because I'm reubenesque(or portly, yer pick)and gray,that I was Mrs. Santa Clause incarnate...WTF?

Ummm--no.Not.Fucking.Hardly.
OOOH! Girl! you got me started *takes off earrings and shoes* hold this shit for me, I'm about to put a beatdown on this OldAge bitch...
