Love your voice and if your novel is as good as this post, you're on your way to success, lady! <br /><br />Now, I can relate to your excitement about getting a senior discount. I'm 56 and qualify for the 55 senior discounts, so thank you, Ross, and restaurants who offer those discounts. (What a shame I can't afford to shop at Ross or anywhere else these days!)

And I hate to admit how much I relate to that saying on that little plaque. <br /><br />On a more positive note, I have had people make nice comments that I do not look or act my age. Of course, my mother has been telling me to act my age most of my life.

I had...Geo- Nope, I don't think you dreamed it. I had a poodle skirt, too... and wore it with clunky saddle oxfords and bobby socks. (Remember sock hops?)<br /><br />Skippy- I know what you mean. It's next to impossible to find "grown-up" looking clothes in a size two. After I was sick and lost so much weight, I actually resorted to shopping in the girls' department to find something more conservative. I feel for the gal you saw in the thrift shop. She's probably a little like me. I'm still drawn to the same styles I used to wear, but have to punch myself in the face to keep myself from buying them. (Not really!) All I have to do it think of how mortified my grandchildren would be to see me wearing such "young" styles, and I end up getting something more "suitable". (Every time you see that 12:34, it means I'm sending positive thoughts your way.)<br /><br />Jon- Oh, don't let your sense of humor diminish. I firmly believe we don't stop laughing because we get old, but we DO get "old" when we stop laughing. I know what you mean about the package goods store. When someone in there cards my hubby, he always says, "I've got socks older than you are!"<br /><br />Julie- Glad to make ya laugh, but that last saying is only precious until it actually happens to you!<br /><br />Suze- Abso-doggone-lutely! They were white with sassy laces all the way up the front. <br /><br />Cro- Did you have steak last night?<br /><br />Arleen- I can't remember exactly what happened to my white go-go boots. I probably got rid of them after my kids teased me for hanging onto them for so many years. Funny thing is, a year or so ago, my son told his wife about "how cool they were", and she wanted to see them. (i.e. to HAVE them) <br /><br />L.G.- Oh, that's crappy. But not nearly as bad as having someone ask you when the baby's due ... and you aren't pregnant! (Never happened to me, but I was stupid enough to ask someone else that question once.)<br /><br />Linda- Um, I kinda think having it offered when you're underage would be worse. Then again, to some teenagers, twenty-one is OLD.<br /><br />Liz- You betcha.<br />Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-46898730353438528122012-08-29T09:47:19.537-04:002012-08-29T09:47:19.537-04:00LOL!
