For Younger People with No Sense

Suzybelle

I can't help it.  It's an illness.

 I have been wanting to do this for like, a month.  I feel so much better now.

I don't get it... what do you mean younger people with no sense?

BarbaraA

Nanna, one of the most active topics is titled 'For Older People with More Sense'

I know I have absolutely no sense at all but I am 62 so too old. I love the humour thats going on at present. We sure need to laugh.

Made me laught too. I never checked out the 'For Older People with More Sense'. I didn't think I was old but I'm not young either.

Where's the "for middle aged people with some sense?"

KittyDog

lol lago....I was wondering the same thing.

Iago, i'm certainly not ready to be middle aged! Although a guy at work said it was just a midlife crisis so if i have another 50 years ahead i will be beyond my onc's wildest dream (or is that his worst nightmare...?) I have NO sense or i would be fast asleep!

Hey, I'm 41, but I thought "For Middle-Aged Women with a Little Sense" didn't sound so snappy as "For Younger Women with No Sense".   

And let's face it - I don't have any sense except 1/2 the time, so there you go.

41 isn't  middle age anymore. I think you need to be at least 46. Granted I'm just starting to finally feel middle age. Just turned 49+1 in February.

Still like to hang with the "For Younger People with No Sense"crowd regardless of my reality.

Hey, the docs keep telling me I am "young" for breast cancer so I'm gonna run with that! 

Love seeing this thread title pop up in "active threads"! Makes me smile!

The Stop Sugar Support thread is bringing out the baddy in me as well...I need to stay away from there, though. 

I bought candy at lunch and am planning my baking strategy this weekend.  Not good.

No no, with respect I disagree. Overweight is defined as "10kg heavier than me" I learnt that at work from a doctor, true story, On a study day about manual handling, no less, so it must be true. Too many overweight people around these days he said. Bet he wished he had gone into bariatric surgery, not teaching  By the same token, middle aged is "10 years older than me" and I am now 50. (Beat you Iago, by two weeks! Errrr, eeeek, how did that happen??) He, the wise doctor lecturing, was considerably older than me BTW, and a good deal fatter.

So having left my childhood somewhere in the dark ages, or maybe in the loft, I had better get on with some adultery before i pass directly into premature senility. See, I still think of myself being about 23. Granted i got a bit less stamina these days and my skin needs ironing.............and chocolate costs a shocking lot more.....  A friend at work told me long ago, "I'm not 63, really I'm nineteen; If I had known i was going to live this long, i would have looked after myself a bit more"   a great motto however long ago your parents started claiming tax relief on you.

It's essential to plan your baking strategy in advance. No good having the oven warmed, the eggs whipped, the pan greased lined and floured all ready to go and all the flour sugar etc all measured out, and only then you discover it's ten at night and you've ran out of chocolate - are you really going to get dressed again, fooby wig sleeve eyelashes and whatever other paraphernalia BC has added to your busy life, just to drive to the late-night store so you can finish making those brownies?

A hypothetical question requiring no answer. but to those who responded YES of course we are, welcome to my world: I have no sense either! I do have emergency chocolate though, and no day-hike is complete until we have eaten it.

Youth IMHO, when it doesn't relate to a lad that DD brings home for [my] supper, is a state of mind, not an unverifiable chronological mistake made before electronic records began. They did have vinyl for records in the era of my purported arrival, EP but not LP ( i was born forceps AKA special-delivery, and in black and white): My parents' generation were born in wax on cylinders, handpainted by candlelight and lucky to be alive with all that cholera diphtheria whooping cough measles and miscellaneous other annoying nasty diseases, and general grinding poverty, and my grandparents' records are on comb-and-paper, if they got born at all. There's no official evidence they all did.

So this middle-aged lark, is it a debatable fact about the body you live in, or a state of mind? And inside your mind, reality can be what you want it to be??
