I'm fucking pissed

[Rubyfruit]

Sadness has turned into anger.

My hands look old.

I see fine lines around my eyes.

My tummy will never be flat again, no matter how many goddamn situps I do.

I'm livid.

I found a grey hair in my eyebrows this morning.

My roots need touching up every four weeks.

Youth seemed mine eternal only a few years ago.

Now it is slipping away.

And I'm mad.

Very mad.

 

[seXieleXie]

and still you are a beautiful person
and still you are loved, cherished, wanted
and still you are a wonderful mother, lover, friend

i wish i could help.

 

[april-wine]

welcome to the dark side ruby lol.............i have had grey since i was 21, and without the wonders of dye would be almost completely grey now.........welcome dear friend.......hugging you tight.......

 

[StondTmplPilot]

Everything sexielexie said and more. We all see you as the sweet, sassy, sexy, and flirty popsicle sucking babe that you are! But what's more, we know that you are a kind, and caring lady, passionate lover, devoted wife, and loving mother. Don't be so hard on yourself for what happens to everyone. We are all mortal, and we all age, but the beauty that is you forever remains the same.

 

[Todd]

I don't care about all that that you just described, I still wanna have sex with ya. With you to Lexie and April-wine as well

Hell lets have a foursome

 

[Chuckus]

My hair line is receeding

My bank account is shrinking

My eyes have circles around them

My body is tired and feeling old

My stomach will never be "six pack" material

My eyes are getting worse (damn presecription changes yearly)

My hair is beginning to show some grey here and there.......

My balls ache (oops!!!!)

Money doesn't grow on trees anymore at my house........

I know the feeling, kinda Ruby.........but you know what I say, You gotta roll with the punches. You can only control so much. The only thing you can do sometimes is just laugh like hell.

For what it is worth Ruby, I know your pain maybe just in a different sort of way.............

Sending you a

Before I even said anything!

Slipping away? look over here!

I am sooo with ya, Ruby. I got pics back from the lab, and in the ones I'm in you can clearly see little wrinkles in the corners of my eyes. I'm 3 months away from 30 and I'm starting to look it! It's really unfair. I still feel young! WTF.

 

[MissTaken]

I am 36 going on 25 , but not without some effort!

Don't let that stuff bring ya down....It just serves to make you sexier !

 

[patient1]

Pissed? We just met a newbie that's into that!

One thing though, anger is much more productive than depression.
Do you have a plan?

 

[Rubyfruit]

I don't know what's wrong

Something is happening to me.

I don't feel in control.

The new year has never done this to me before.

I turn 39 this year, not 40.

I'm a fucking mess.

I think it must be a mid-life crises. Women are allowed them, right?

I've been on a buying frenzie of the music I grew up with. I'm currently listening to Cheap Trick, Live at Budokan.

On a note I should remember more often, I was carded for wine a week ago. The checker dropped her jaw when she read my birth date.

I've had gray hairs since i was 19... i have no idea what my natural color would even be at this point...

We all age darlin, and if you're only noticing it now, be thankful. I'm 28 and I came to most of those realizations a couple years ago. Except the flat tummy thing... I'm still convinced my sexy tummy is in there somewhere!

Two little signs that hang in my kitchen, that in my darker moments make me laugh...

I'm just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World

and

I'm really a size 10, I just keep it under all this fat so it doesn't get scratched.

So, I'm twisted... but I know that I'm a cool bitch with a brain and talent and I'm damn good in bed. None of that is going away with age.

 

[patient1]

Scientists confirm that the leading cause of wrinkles is....

Skin! If we didn't love skin we wouldn't be here at a porno sight.

 

[Cheyenne]

I think it is easier to get old for people who never depended on their looks in the first place. We can't miss what we never had. In the end, age is somewhat of an equalizer. I just think it hurts the beautiful people more.

It is nice, however, to have genes that give me blonde hair naturally and very little grey. There are some strands in there if you look, but they blend in with the blonde and you really don't see them. No coloring of my hair for me. Someday, someone will look at me and realize I've gone grey before their eyes and they never really noticed before. That will likely be when I'm about 80 or 90, based on my family history. My mom is almost 70 and still has naturally brown hair. Very few grey strands at all.

 

[LRC]

I don't have wrinkles. I have laugh lines.

Sounds better doesn't it?

What's the worst thing a wife can get on her 25th anniversary?

....Morning sickness

Re: I don't know what's wrong

There's your clue. I think turning 39 is more difficult than turning 40. By the time I turned 40, I had spent a year thinking of myself as 40, if that makes any sense. That actual 40th birthday was anticlimatic.

If it makes you feel any better, I like my 40's. (I must be about 5 years older than you.) I don't necessarily like the body that goes with this decade, but I like my life better than I have in awhile. And that is worth something.

That's so funny that you'd say that! I was talking about that with a friend the other day. We both have a common acquaintance who in her teens and twenties was every guy's dream - thin, blonde, with huge fake breasts (after age 22). Now she's nearly 40, and she has face peels, works out constantly, ever eats, and is considering a facelift - none of which turns her into a 20-year-old again. She just looks like a 40-year-old trying too hard. "Aging gracefully" is not in her vocabulary.

I've never had to get by on my looks (thankfully, or I'd be in trouble!) so the age thing doesn't really through me into depression or anything. But it is very disconcerting to still feel "young" inside, yet look into an older face in the mirror. I talked to an 85-year-old neighbor about the fact that I don't feel any older than I did at 20, and she laughed and said, "Me neither." So maybe that's just the way it is...maybe I'll never "feel" old. Maybe age is a physical thing, not a mental thing. I don't know.

Ruby, I see you as a person who possesses true beauty, represents absolute sexiness......off the Richter scale IMO.
Alluring, confident, passionate, honest heart. I'm sorry you are feeling so fucking pissed off. I happen to think from what I know of you, you are pretty damn amazing!

Would you like a glass of wine? I'll pass you the whole bottle if you prefer?

Cheer up when you are ready to , the feelings will more than likely pass in time.

Have you thought about getting a sitter for the kids and going to an all day spa and pampering yourself? May make you feel a little better. Treat yourself well Ruby, you deserve it.

Why dont we all jump off a bridge?

...So maybe that's just the way it is...maybe I'll never "feel" old. Maybe age is a physical thing, not a mental thing. ...

1) Be sure not to miss your 25 year high school reunion if you want to see women trying to look like they are 20 again. I don't care how skinny, or how much makeup they wear. They still look 43, not 20. Just a sad 43.

The women who looked "old" also looked happier. That's a whole other story though.

2) You are correct- age is a physical thing, not mental. A famous family story is the time my grandmother started a sentence with "When I get old..." I forget her exact age, but I think she was in her upper 70's or early 80's at the time. We grandchildren teased the crap out of her for that one and she got PISSED because we thought she was old already!

 

[Siren]

ya wanna really cry.........try this one for size

 

[Neotragii]

Just think Ruby if the old adage, that things only get better with age, proves true then you're just about damn near perfect The grey hair here, the wrinkle there are the things that make you the Ruby that everyone seems to care for.

 

[Nobody Special]

I don't know..... When ever any one IM's me and asks my age I tell them that I'm 30 going on 21...... usually every one older then 20 understands this LOL

But that is what I am..... 30 going on 21...... and you know what..... I had NO grey hair till I met NSW and then she keeps finding them on me...... I don't know..... what can I do??? I don't feel old and I do not want to.... there is still too many places to see and Poeple to do, to give up my child hood.....
