Thoughts on aging.... ITHURTS, Sorry to break it to you.... but it's inevitable, LOL. It seems that as we get older we have MORE baggage than less, which I guess makes sense, but shouldn't it be the other way around?
That we are old enough to deal with our baggage and let it go rather than continue to add on?! Drita, I think both are true - more baggage in some areas and less in others! Justin, What you say about men as they age seems to be true of both sexes as I observe my aging relatives. They seem so isolated and alone, even when living in senior complexes full of other single seniors. For example, my mom died when my dad was 90 and he did an amazing job, for several years, of making all sorts of social arrangements for himself that she used to make for the two of them. For the last few years, though, he's gotten lonelier and lonelier as his few friends in the assisted living facility where he lives have gotten Alzheimer's, had strokes, or died. At 98, he now sits at a table all alone many nights. He doesn't make new friends and won't move nearer to any of his children, so he just sits and reads all day. My 82 year old Aunt lives in a similar complex near one of her daughters, but is also very lonely. Her best friend their recently died. Maybe when we all get to be 80 and 90, God willing, we'll stay connected through the internet on a new MB board especially for us, LOL. The 30 and 40 year old youngsters can come to us for our wisdom! Aging is definitely not for the weak!

I'm 45 and my only child is 4. I was afraid people would tell me "oh, how cute your grandchild is!". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Nobody asked... yet. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> They tell that all the time to my X though. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Believer, your story reminds me of another one, from my life.
A good friend of mine, was 35 at that time and had a very nice gf (38), and he told me how nice she was but he didn't like she was older and, also, his plan was to get married after his 40th birthday.
One year after that he fell in love with a woman 9! years older than him, with three small kids from her previous marriage. He proposed her, madly wanting her to be his wife.
Well, she left him for someone else.
He's 45 now, alone and quite bitter... Pity, a nice guy, just has bad 'timings'...
