Hello all,

My Mum has just turned eighty four and avoids looking in the mirror - she doesn't recognise the face looking back at her !!

Growing old is mandatory - growing up is optional

Susan
with grey hair and wrinkles and wondering how the heck I am my age already.......

Too right Foggy, it's better than the alternative. Also my policy it never look in the mirror with my glasses on, just view in soft focus, a bonus of failing eye sight. lol

Got a dose of the shakes, Mau?

The breeze at the Bay must be getting to you. It was chilly there this morning.

Gloria Hunniford started out some years ago being about 4 years older than me now is nearly four years younger.

Had I £9 to waste I would send for her birth cert!

Foggy - after being 'touch and go' for 6 weeks am grateful every day I am here so is OH even though I exasperate him at times!

You're soo right Foggy.........getting old is a privilege :O) xx

Good story eh BC? would you believe the blooming text came up three times pmsl......it just growed and growed missus!! XXX

I took a photo of my gran to the local photoshop last week to get a copy done. The young lad asked who she was & I explained it was my gran. He then asked if she was still alive. I´m 65!!!
Perhaps I don´t look as bad as I think.

I honestly don't know what happened there...... LOL

Hi Rose and ~~~~to All

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others the same age and thinking surely I don't look that old?.............well you'll love this.....;o)

My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the dentist's waiting room for my first appointment with the new dentist. I noticed his dental diploma on the wall,which bore his full name.

Suddenly I remembered a tall,dark haired handsome boy who had been in my secondary school class some 30 odd years ago.
Could he be the same guy that I had a crush on way back then.

Upon seeing him however I quickly discarded any such thought.

This balding,grey haired man with the deeply lined face was far too old to have been my class-mate.
After he examined my teeth I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park secondary school.....”yes yes I did” he said with pride.

“When did you leave to go to college” I asked
He answered “in 1965,why do you ask?”
“You were in my class” I exclaimed

He looked at me closely
and then that

ugly
old
bald
wrinkled
fat a***d
grey haired
decrepit
b****r asked.........



“What did you teach?”

Mau :O)) xx

The woman in my mirror is my grandmother !

~~~~ to all

I think the really awful thing is seeing that reflection in the mirror, BC lol, as you say an imposter! Because I don't think 'old'. well at least I didn't until the last couple of years, they have aged me rather! Before that I felt about 35 at most.

I am pleased to say that I have not noticed myself getting any older.

But I have got a picture of me stashed away in the loft that seems to seriously age every time I look at it !

Rose, I am constantly shocked when I meet up with old friends ,noticing the wrinkles ,jowls and other signs of the passing years. What I totally ignore is the old person who looks out from my mirror each day. An imposter!. lol BC XX

Yes Rose I thought the same when I saw Prince Andrew on tv. I have noticed it in myself lately to. And my youngest daughter who is 23 and disabled is either still growing or I am shrinking, because I have to stand on tip toe to brush her hair lol x

May I join in ladies? As your talk is about wrinkles and getting old. I have been on facebook and I am shocked at old friends and family that I have not seen for ages. We are all getting old but some manage it better than others!

Funny you should ask this Rose......because just lately, i find myself checking out everyones wrinkles!! Especially my friends and people who i know. Whether its just because we are all getting older that i am noticing, or.......i am judging their's compared to mine!!! :>))
