It is sad for a woman to reach the age when men consider her charmless but far worse it is for a man to reach the age that women consider him harmless...

LOL, I think that applies to both men & women as they get older.

I hated turning 50 as did my wife but having a few years now to get used to it we're finding there's a lot going for it. Okay the old body isn't as spry but we are so much more relaxed and really enjoying ourselves. Mrs. Bear still looks fabulous and about ten years younger at least than she is, (50 is the new 35), and we've learned so much in the last couple of years that life is actually starting to make sense...

A lot of our close friends are now in their 60's and 70's and still refusing to be "old"...

Well thank you Berries, until I read that link I thought I had never heard of him!
