The No News is No News Purgatory Thread, Vol. 7

I'm pretty happy to be this age. And really, the alternative is much worse. : )

On the tea/coffee talk, I used to looove me some black coffee. And then my stomach revolted, when I was in my 20s, and now all I can do is smell the stuff. And drink maybe three ice coffees a year that are loaded with enough milk and sugar to qualify as a milk shake. But I love almost any kind of tea, so long as it isn't artificially flavored. Green jasmine is my favorite, and for herbal I drink gallons of licorice.

This.
I'm still on this side of the dirt.
Though I cringe at ages, I try to remember it could be worse.

Okay, I'll play. I'm 41. And I always kinda wanted to be 41. My whole "mid-forties" persona is way easier to pull off now that I'm actually in my 40s.

I do miss having nice skin, though. Ah, yesteryear.

I've lost like 120 pounds now. My skin is really bad. That's the 'age' thing that bothers me the most.

But, I can sprint pretty fast now, bingo wings and all. lol

Gonna be sixteen Tuesday. Having a pretty big Sweet Sixteen next Saturday, no gifts-affair.

...but I pass for 18 and they serve me in restaurants! (drinking age is 18). Seriously, I don't give ID. I don't order alcohol. If my mom orders wine for the table, they just serve me. If my mom asks if I want wine and I say no, they still freakin' serve me. I swear, sometimes I think they're slipping me roofies.

Para, I guess I can only comment on your creakiness in TWFT...

I loooooove tea!

That's the one thing that bothers me about losing weight now--chubby faces look younger. I'm hoping if I do it steadily enough, I won't end up constantly wearing a hella-tight ponytail as a cheap face-lift.

word.

guess who's doing fack forty pin up fotos?

*points thumbs toward self* haha!

magnum? forget about it.

the kids don't even know who doogie howser is.

Unfortunately, the pony tails don't work for turkey neck. lol

I'm going to have to get corset piercings on either side of my neck.

Yeah, I'm doing it in 10 pound increments and deciding at each step if I want to go on.

Hitting the big 60 next year. My brain feels 20. I seriously want one of those android bodies/rejuvenation. Soon, science peoples, we ain't got decades to waste here.

I probably shouldn't have laughed but pony tails and turkey neck sound funny to me.

That would be so cool!

I'm down with the piercings! lol

cheeky, congrats, that is amazing!!

my friend (have i mentioned before?) going
through something similar. i think weights
help to firm but also, it takes a while for the
body to settle into its new skin so to say.
give it some time.

thalia, happy sweet sixteen soon!
i remember sixteen. =)

i'm proud to get older gracefully.
or rather, rambunctiously. i don't
enjoy the aches and pains, but what
can you do. it's mostly genetic for me,
so i try to keep active as much as i can...

and crikey, i always think of
blondie as 34. but i realize that was
when we started the thread...

WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?

cindy, time warped and bad at math

53. bwhahahah!

I really need a haircut.

Hi all! Long time, no talk! I'm just dropping in to say hi since it's been SO long. How's everyone doing? I hope all is well and good.

Have been kinda out of it recently so haven't been in, but I also wanted to share my good news--in a double dose while I'm here. You may've see on fbook if were friends, but my fiance and I tied the knot about two weeks ago! AND...a couple weeks after we got engaged, we found out we're expecting! She's a girl, due Oct. 27. So that's my life update. I miss all of you guys. Tell me what's going on with everyone!

Grats, Dragonfly! Awesome to hear such good news and that you are doing so well!

My "omg I'm old" moment came the other day when I started to reply to someone's facebbok post with a tv show reference... and then realized they were probably too young to get it.

I actually like being 30; I feel like I finally fit into my personality. I just get freaked out when I suddenly realize x% of the population is completely ignorant of things that I have always taken as Part of the Universe. How can they even function?!

Congrats, Dragonfly!

Congrats Dragonfly! Looks like we're due about a month apart!

Tally born in '96? I graduated high school in '95.

When did I get old enough to be a teenager's (young) mother?

<-2 weeks shy of 35.
