O.K. I must chime in on this one. I am 40 but feel like 50 some days (the days

I can't stand up straight due to lower back pain). I also have the sneeze

issue, but only when it is a big one. ;-) I think that means I qualify!?

Oh, there is no hope for me.....God and myself love my mother, God

Rest Her Soul.

My tiny, always a lady mother unforunatly suffered from dementia is

the last couple years of her life. My brother was visiting and

playing cards with her. He had won all her nickles in 31. She very

seriously pointed her finger at him like a gun and imformed him that

she was going to " shoot his balls off.. "

There's nothing to lady like about me now so I'm afraid I may end up

gagged, bound and stuffed into a closet somewhere in my REALLY old

age.....

Casey,

Tell the darling boy that he will qualify for ³studly² and if he doesn¹t

play his cards right, he will be joining us for the navigation! Just think,

a 15 year old young man on the yacht of ³mature women² cruising to who know

where, because we won¹t remember!!

Dear Martha,

I hope you feel us all around you, listening with you, praying with you,

making

small talk while you wait, and holding your hand.

With love,

Hi, all,

First, I've been sitting around today, contemplating with absolute horror a

pending trip tomorrow to my cardiologist when I spied this thread along

with Fuzzy Bear though I've somehow deleted the first posts for both ---

remain nervous (oh, this age thing is awful when the dr. lurks..) but with

big grins at many moments.

Sounds like we're going to have quite a party of us. Good. I definitely

want to party soon! Martha

DRY dock, given the discussion of incontinence, might not be a bad place to

be....

What a wonderful thread! Affirming, disarming, engaging, healing and

charming.....

2003 was a phenomenally challenging year for me, and I took to noticing that I

felt older than the hills - I could not imagine feeling any older ever, only

perhaps more feeble and more physical discomfort......I was 41 at the time.

Now I am 45 and have reconnected to the flow, the balance, the gratitude and the

" what is " -ness - and I feel timeless - as timeless as the universe itself. (Not

as in a timeless classic :oP)

Four years ago I would have thought myself to be among the " eldest "

disregarding chronological age. I felt as though the weariness, the grief, and

the fear submerged me that year. Now I savor the fruits borne from that time -

it was fodder for deeper joy - breaking apart my illusions and constructs to

have me ever more present.

*whew*

May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in.

I missed the first part of this thread but you guys are too funny. I think I

qualify for the boat. I have just turned 40 (April 1st), had a full

hysterectomy (April 4th) and became a Grandma (May 1st) I think the age thing is

coming fast and hard here.

After listening to all of you, I will have to wonder what will be left of me

when I hit 50!

I have to agree this is one of the funniest things I have read on

here and as I read " do you pee when you sneeze? " question I laughed

so hard I almosted peed myself...LOL!

I will be 31 in Aug and I can feel the age creeping up on me!!!

Thanks for the giggles!!

Yuka,

I love that. A few words that can mean so many things. With age

I've learned to seperate what's really important and what I only

imagine to be important. Standing still and gazing out the window can

now be the important moment for me. The world goes on and life

continues to thrive. Laughter feels good. I love and am loved. Each

day can hold all kinds of suprises.

Pamela-

Hehehe-Make me an offer! I'll go back to lying about my age-no worries.

This is a rather dubious distinction anyway, n'est pas?

I was actually half-way fishing, in hopes of turning up someone else for the

title (sob).

You can have it for cheap! Senior discount!!! All the jewels!!!

Name your price.....

I'll pay you...deal????

>>this is truly beautiful and I am feeling a bit melancholy about it, <<<

Me too. It almost needs it's very own new morning, a fresh, clean dawn for

contemplation. A little while longer-one's coming. Just the other side of

sleep.

;-)

Martha,

Okay girl, take a big breath and let it out slowly. It is a scary

thing until you get a dx of what exactly is wrong. As a surviver of

open heart I can tell you that the worst part is going to be the

unknown and waiting. But know this, procedures are so advanced now

that it's not the same as years ago. There is so much they can

control with medication. To be honest, I know I'll be going back in

again sometime in the next couple of years to replace my pulmonary

valve again. After going through it once already I'm not stressed

this time around. If you want to talk send me your phone # by email

and I will call you. Also on WebMD there is a support group for heart

problems. The one with I believe her name is who is a

cardiac Intensive Care Nurse. It's were I went for advice and support

before my first surgery. Just a wonderful and knowlegable group of

people.

We'll all be there with you in spirit tomorrow. Write any questions

you have down before going. Don't be afraid to be proactive in your

own condition and solutions. Is someone going with you? That was a

big help to me made me feel less intimedated by the professionals.
