  Have you hit your 50's? Are you feeling it, or do you still feel young?

  i'm curious, because in my 40's i felt like a million dollars.

  i am starting to feel it,....i just don't have the stamina of working in the yard all day, coming in making dinner and getting the laundry done at the same time, or working full time.. i see the years in my face when i don't get enough sleep, and no amount of makeup makes a difference.

  my eyes seem to always look tired.

  Quandry...LOL,

  I'm through the hot flashes at 50, but I knew I was getting old when I would bend down to look at an item at Marshall's, and had horrible difficulty getting back up with knees cracking......that was starting to happen in my 40's and I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

  The last time I bent down, I had to to get down on my knees and do one leg at a time and have someone help me up. The other was lifting a heavy item to look at the price and due to the arthritis in my hands, I dropped the item. How crazy is that....and I did weight lifting for years to stay in shape.

  I'm really frustrated because I always wanted to learn to play the guitar....and apparently it might be too difficult with stiff fingers. If anyone knows better let me know. I can still play the piano, but not like I use to.

  Juguarbass, you had me LOL, run? it isn't even a possibility....so I would say you are way ahead of the game.

  My husband still works at least 12 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week. Where that drive comes from I have no idea, but I do my best to keep him taken care of.

  Between me and my old Doberman, we can do a quick step around the block, and it's any one's bet who quits first!!!!

  Yes, I can keep a mean, clean house, I can, keep a mean clean pool, with a huge oak tree over the same, but anything else....good lord I'm down for the count.

  Outaservice...you had me LOL.

  Palmtree...I'm with you.... thank god for stretch denim....I can maintain a size different than reality no matter what the scale says!!!!!

  WuzLoves...I too use to get carded in my 30's at the grocery store. Now they ask me for ID incase I can get the senior citizen discount!!!!!

  Finally free....I hear the bird talking not you!

  Wobble....Damnit!

  RR...good for you...keep it up!

  Scared for life....if you can keep up that exercise, let us know!!!!!

  AFenderson....damn I tried that diet....but protein kind of grosses me out. I actually put on weight years ago trying it.

  As far as hair growth, well now it's in all the wrong places. I rarely have to shave anywhere, but.....I have to watch my upper lip....how exasperating as a blond. Damn...I'm angry about this!

  I see the years in my face when I don't get enough sleep, and no amount of makeup makes a difference. My eyes seem to always look tired. I can't work out like I use to and I feel fat. Although to look at me most people would call me average, I know the difference. I use to be very thin.

  My hair has gone gray, and it's a constant battle to keep up the long blond locks.

  I don't care about my wardrobe so much any more. I am usually at home so why bother spending money on the latest fads.

  In my minds eye, I still see myself in my 30's, and when I look in one of those magnified mirrors...I just want to faint!

  How about you?

  Elsewhere...yes that would be wonderful if I had wire grates, but bought one those monstrosities with cast iron grates....they never look good.

  Magwitch....I am of the mind to switch to charcoal....and by the way, when are we going to have that Martini together?....(just saw the post today!)

  Anyway, just went out and turned off the grill..... will let you all know how this Sirloin tip roast turns out! It's marinating right now.

  Will be served with bluecheese/sourcream mashed potatos, ceaser salad, and peppercorn gravy. (Are you getting hungry?)

It should be sanitized at that temperature right but for how long? Its been going for 20 minutes now and I'd like to grill a marinated sirloin tip roast.

  Any and all input welcome!!!!!!

  excellent documentary.

  i couldn't believe the similarities.

  listening to the "apostates" within the mormons is like listening to one of us.. this should be watched by ex-jdubs and regular jdubs.

  I was half asleep when my husband turned it on, but was jolted wide awake when they covered the judicial committee segment. It gave me the chills!
