I will be 39 in less then a month, I have been told I look younger but I feel much much older.

Sometimes i can be so dense, I was reading al the posts and looking at the dates of them and thinking there was something wrong with the date thing on the forum, I was even going to post to see if anyone else noticed, then I clued in, this thread just started last yr is all. I think and do the most silliest things at times, I wonder if everything is connected properly in my head

don't worry about it , I do silly things all the time, and it gets worse the older I get!

Hi,

Just joined and it took me a while to locate this thread, but like others have said, it has made me feel better (sorry!) to see that there are others of my age. I turned 49 last month. It is sort of like that feeling we can have "Oh should I have grown out of this by now!" and realising that it is ok to still be like this.

I remember thinking and saying a few years ago, that blushing when you are a youngster is cute, but at our age it is just downright embarrassing! Yes i can, and do, still blush uncontrollably.

Anyway maybe finally there is hope for us oldsters. Especially thanks to websites like this.

Kind regards, HarryB

smee_steve · #**101** 17th March 2007, 14:55

Relax! Chill out!
Everything is acceptable.
Pull up a chair, Harry B.
Be welcome.

Great to have you on board HarryB - I'm two months older than you and I blush like a beetroot :embarass: :embarass: , and squirm and giggle like a schoolgirl when I'm embarrassed...

I am so terribly happy and tremendously overjoyed for you.
I'm 50 in April so I'll keep you posted.

(should that really be e-something'd?- 'posted' implies snail mail)

We can't let this landmark event go unnoticed. Are you having a party?

I'm thinking of decorating the party-wall of my house.........but that's in the distant future. But if you do call in make sure you bring a bottle or three.......

Not at all, I really would attend your 50th birthday celebrations if I could and bring along a crate of Babycham and Cherry B.

I'd buy you a babycham - but I have to decide on the wallpaper first........and your B/F wouldn't be pleased.

Didn't know I had a B/F - but hope you have a good one anyway! Half a century on this planet is something worth marking in some way - I won't say celebrate!

Hiya Steve. Thanks for the fireside chair. Got a nice glass of wine to sip? I was a member for a few months about a year ago. A recent event inspired me to come back.

So are you two kids just now turning 50?

Your time is drawing ever nearer. Are you excited?

How in god's name can I get excited about something I've experienced 49 times before? I'm doing my best, though!
