"Middle age before old age"

Some old man said this to my wife yesterday in a check-out line. BAM! Reality check for her. Ha friggin' ha. I had to remind her that she IS middle-aged, perhaps even a bit past . . .

In what context was he reminding her that she's middle-aged??

Yup, age for women is hard.
My wife spends a small fortune on special anti aging makeup and moisturizers.

How do you know what your middle age is if you don't know the end date?

The proper phrase to use in that situation is "ladies first."

I can't imagine saying what that guy said... that's kinda odd to say the least.

My wife did a track work-out this am with my daughter, instead of her usual slog on the canal bank. Coincidence? I think not.

I don't let my wife work out... if she gets in shape she could beat me up!

An event that provides both an opportunity for teasing and an encouragement to push a little bit is priceless. Great stuff, unless he was a perv.

Beyond a certain point, the elderly just don't give a damn and say what they please.

Probably posts in the 'breast thread' and the 'panty thread'.

After 40, you get that way. I am starting to pick my ass in public. No longer do I turn to see who's behind me.
