My sister was out and saw a young man at a rally with tons of political buttons and one Jimmy Eat World button. She inquired about the Jimmy Eat World one because it didn't seem to fit the theme. His response: "It's a band", which she already knew but didn't think she looked old enough to be assumed to be out of touch with newer music.

My single friends and their ways make no sense to me.

My vagina feels as dry as the Gobi desert. And I just found a grey hair down there. No, it wasn't mirage. It was as real as cold death, taxes and cancer. Hopefully I'll feel more cheery in the spring.

- I need to make lists to remember things
- yes, the decreased sex
- The love for sleep, I cannot imagine how I used to pull all-nighters, do exams, come back, go party.... Damn, now if i miss an hour i'm a wreck....


Here is an ancient joke about the difference between 20s, 30s and 40s (or 50s):
At 20's, you spend your night partying, drinking, smoking, having sex and the next day you look like you slept all night like a baby.

at 30's, you spend your night partying, drinking, smoking, having sex and the next day you look like you spent the night partying, drinking, smoking, having sex

At 40's, you sleep all night like a baby, adn teh next day you look like you spent the night partying, drinking, smoking, and having sex....

My back hurts, my left knee is stiff, and I have zero interest in staying out past 10.

I'm in my 30's. Where can I sign up for this partying, drinking and sex?

Hair falling out where you want it and growing where you don't want it.

Starting to make involuntary weird expressions.

Starting to resemble my less attractive grandmother when I catch a side view glimpse in mirror (sorry, god rest her soul.)

I like this thread- and I feel lucky to have had all the great years I've had

-Telling children of friends/relatives that it seems like just yesterday that they were a baby- and now these kids are in middle school.

-Talking about the days when work was done before the days of blackberries. Commenting with my husband on the various ways that computers have changed society.

-Hearing that a not-too-much-older-than-me friend's law school classmate was elected to the US Senate!

-Brother is in the military: hearing him talk about some of the shenanigans the "kids" who just joined his unit (18-20 yr old guys) have gotten themselves into... and thinking many of those guys serving really are kids.

-Having a grandparent die and then going through eldercare and assisted living decisions with other grandparents.

-My first HS friend having her 2nd baby.

-Explaining to young relatives how they shouldn't go to law school, because getting a J.D. was a fast track to riches only in "the olden days," and trying to explain legal process outsourcing to India and how taking out large student loans would not be prudent.

the fact that my 3 yo DD knew what a computer mouse was before she knew what a real mouse was.

the realization that DD will also be computer savvy before she reaches 1 st grade and will most likely learn how to type in elementary school versus middle school when I took a keyboarding class where we learned how to type on typewriters.

the fact that my elementary age niece and nephew don't know what (camera) film is.

I'll take the gray hairs any day but how I would like a long soaking rain in my Gobi desert!

Trying to explain the card game "Old Maid" to my kids and their cousins. They thought it was about an elderly cleaning woman. When I told them it was about a woman over 30 or so who was unmarried, they looked at me like I was nuts.

Pulling a muscle in my neck, leg, back, etc and not even knowing how it happened.

The best weekend possible is one that includes NO plans.

I'm becoming fiscally conservative.

My criteria for picking a restaurant is that it isn't too loud.

Loving you...I am you?

Also, I look at young girls and think, "Was I that stupid?"
