You, me and most other people (ok, not that guy with the chest hair and gold chains driving the convertible Corvette) won't have that experience. And that's good. In the meantime, in our slow acceptance that getting old does indeed suck, we'll have those people to laugh at. Seriously, in her where?!?

I kept on reading and found this one about aging. I love what you had to say and love the way you said it. I'm still really young and have just turned 21 a couple months ago but already know what you mean by this constant obsession about looking good and everything. I think its ridiculous that someone would go to those kind of lengths to stay young (vagina injections... yeah no thanks) but I also understand where she's coming from. Everything in the media is about being beautiful, young, skinny, and perfect. Somedays it makes me feel horrible cause I don't have the boobs or the ass or the whatever that the media is focused on but then I remember that there are other issues out there besides my little physical worries. I love wearing heels but seriously, flats and flip flops are way better. I love the "classic styles" and am the old lookin' dresser in my group, but seriously, a lot of styles nowadays are just overdone. What is wrong with a nice top, cute cardigan, and pearls?! Nothing.. to me anyways I ran across your blog from the deseret news or sltrib, can’t remember which, but was caught by your blog on summer days. I kept on reading and found this one about aging.

Something poetic about that lowbrow clinical synopsis coupled with a wonderfully sensible, adult outlook. Only sad that your web site doesn't have stars, or hearts, or a similar "I love this post!" gizmo. I love that this post is tagged vaginal+injection.

But you didn't go quite far enough. I'm 65. Is there some reason 65 can't also be considered beautiful? Or vivid? Or lively? Why doesn't society value all of us? Surely beauty can be something other than sex kitten looks. And forget sliding gracefully into old age. Stomp right on in. And welcome. Right. But you didn’t go quite far enough. I’m 65.
