50 somethings thread .....

Over 50 here, and loving every minute of it. The nest is empty, the career is thriving, the bills are under control, and the parts are still working just fine, thanks. I have lots of great memories -- seeing the Beatles on Sullivan, paying $10 for Stones tickets, learning to drive in a '65 Mustang, losing my virginity while Armstrong was walking on the moon -- but more importantly, I'm making new memories every day that are just as good as the old ones. Life begins at 50? Why the hell not? :cool:


I agree completely! I had some great times in my earlier years, then came raising a family and all that goes with it. Now my children are grown and I am having an even better time than when I was younger. There is so much freedom that comes with age.
 
One of the best things about being in my 50's now and having grown kids...Is laughing at them when they holler at the kids for doing the same things I hollered at them for.
"Sit down and eat!!"
"Clean your room!"
"No, you can't borrow the car!"
LOLOL :D

And when the littler ones get whiny, you can send them home! :rolleyes:
 
One of the best things about being a man in his fifties...women in their fifties! ;)
 
Can almost mirror 'Savethe best4me's" response (leave out the death of friends dad). Never wanted/needed/craved it more than i do now. PLUS am more adventerous, willing to try new things and damn, it all feels sooooo good. Glad hubby #1 is a thing of the past. Best thing he ever did for me was LEAVE. lol.
 
Good morning, everyone!

Thunderstorms here in Chicago today. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. :)
 
Good morning everyone ! Or...good evening from my part of the world. Its always sunny and hot here except for the occasional tropical storm.
Its 8:40 pm here so hump-day is just about over. It's margarita time. I think I'll thaw some out. yumm :D


Peace :cool:

Welcome back, pretty lady! You've got to cut out some of those RL distractions. Maybe Roxy or Rae will stop by. What can I get you to drink? I'll fire up the grill. :cool:

Unless we're talking Mimosas it may be a bit too early for a drink. ;) Coffee would be good. Can you cook eggs on that grill??

Rox :rose:
 
Anyone else want something? Juice, coffee, toast, eggs? I'm here to serve.
