after 44 years...

Ya gotta love being older (and wiser!!)... :)

After being married for 44 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said: "Honey, 40 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old gal.
Now I have a $500K home, a $45K car, king-size bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 65-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25-year-old gal, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve your mid-life crisis.

depends on how I feel in the morning if I am too young to be 65...

at this age...

I feel as we grow older, our respect towards such longer relationship and bond become more strong and stronger with time.

Anyways do hope so to live a long life?..

God bless you and your hubby (Scarlett)and keeps both of YOU smiling and loving always!!!

I, unfortunately, have one of the honest mirrors!! I need one with candlelight and the funhouse "skinny" mirrors!!!

Guys are raised with a healthy self image..ok, until they turn about 40...women are bombarded with the "must look like Barbie" image from the time they are old enough to hold a doll.

Even terminolgy is different! Men look "distinguished" with grey hair...women look old. Men get "character lines" around their eyes..women get crow's feet...sighhhhhhh

Must admit.. men sometimes have a harder time "accepting" that they are getting long in years. We tend to see ourselves as "young chicks" most of the time..Mid life crisis is a terrible thing to have to face..

That's why i'm looking for a Harley :)

yes we do...and for the record men DO have menopause..male menopause and they have those midlife crisis mess...so ladies, relax and realize that we aren't the only ones to suffer, only they won't admit it and make fools from themselves by their actions!!

I think you are right!! However most guys have a mirror that never shows a true reflection of themselves...
