Bemused...

RE: get a grip, People!!

Reminds me of a buddy of mine up home... He was an only child so he had to play with himself alot.

RE: type a word to express

True, but if you Google Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, you get 326,000 hits.

(FWIW...)

RE: type a word to express

Coffee'd-up!

RE: Smoking

Exactly!

RE: Smoking

Maybe someday... For the past 25 years or so alcohol doesn't seem to affect me much. No matter how I drink, I never get beyond the mild little buzz that comes after the 3rd drink. Couple of years ago, I polished off a 5th of Canadian Whisky and followed it with 10 or 12 shots of Jose Cuervo and a quart of Gatorade and all it did was make me pee. Didn't even get a hangover! (As a result, I drink very little knowing that I'm just throwing money away for no real effect.)

Naw, I'm afraid it'll take more than alcohol to make me kiss an ashtray. In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy my cigarrettes and stay as far away as I can from those who are offended by my "nasty habit."

RE: Smoking

Have to take your word for that - Never kissed an ashtray...

RE: where do u dream ...

Ideally in the Bahamas with my lovely wife basking in the afterglow of winning the biggest lottery in history.

I'll settle for right here. With the gal who is sitting on the couch sipping the coffee I just poured her.

RE: Cheers for all Replies

In a nutshell, Mindy, I think there was a thread by a slightly over-weight middle aged lady wondering why guys who are over 45 all look like they're slightly over-weight and middle aged. It ran like a zillion pages and now she thinks that all the guys here over 45 hate her so she's thinking about leaving...

Never could quite figure out why folks would ask a question that they don't want the answer to.

Kidgloves,

Stick around. We're all friends here. We'll help you develop thicker skin and before you know it, you won't even feel the barbs.

RE: what happens to woman after 45?

46 = "after 45"

RE: get a grip, People!!

Well put my friend!

There's nothing glamourous about love and it does no good to fantasize about it. But if/when it happens it'll make you FEEL glamourous beyond any fantasy. In the mean time, you still gotta' make the bed and do the shopping and pay the bills...

RE: type a word to express

I'm better than I have any right to be. She's still asleep, but she's doing good, too!

But in keeping with the thread: Super!

You?

RE: type a word to express

Over-informed.

RE: What happens to men after 45

Damn it! I KNEW I forgot to do something! No fair! I missed that part!

RE: What happens to men after 45

You wouldn't want it - Too damn much white in it now!

RE: What happens to men after 45

Hey Jeff, how 'bout if I shaved my head and then made a wig from my own hair? Damn, then I'd look like a DOUBLE stud!

...Naw... Too much work!

RE: Things you hate

Threads that ask me to list things I hate...

RE: when did u ??

RE: What happens to men after 45

Thought of something else to add, but forgot what it was... Guess my body ain't the only thing that's gone downhill.

RE: What happens to men after 45

Yeah, he's not bad for a guy who wears a wig.

RE: What happens to men after 45

Hello, Dawn. I'm Don.

Been on CS since before forever and met my lovely wife here nearly two years ago.

Pick on Jeff all you want - He probably deserves it.

RE: What happens to men after 45

Damn, maybe I need to shave my head and wear a wig - I've always wanted the the illusion of vigor and dangerousness without actually having to DO anything to deserve it!

RE: when did u ??

This morning. Finished two 300 plus page books this in my spare time week and next week probably won't be much different.

Much prefer reading to surfing the net, but they each have their place and I'll admit that I enjoy both.

RE: What happens to men after 45

Didn't read the whole thread, didn't need to, didn't much care to.

Can't speak for anyone but me, don't want to speak for anyone but me.

True, at almost 48 I don't look or even feel the way I did twenty years ago but the reason is that I've squeezed THIRTY years of living into the past 20 years.

20 years ago, I didn't have TWO MILLION MILES behind me in a truck. I hadn't broken my back yet, I still had my gallbladder and I was still on my first marriage. I hadn't yet stood at my father's bedside and watched him finally succumb to the insidiousness of Alzheimer's. I hadn't buried my best friend with my own two hands and I hadn't yet been laid flat on my back for two months with an un-explained viral infection.

I can't speak for anyone else, but what happened to ME after age 45 was the same thing that's been happening all along... LIFE.

I've got alot more white in my beard than I used to have, but I've earned it. I'm an inch thicker around the middle and twenty pounds heavier than I used to be, but I earned that, too.

Hell, come to think of it, I'm pretty tickled just to BE after 45. Alot of folks (myself included!) didn't think I'd make it this far.

I realize, of course, that the O.P. wasn't referring to me directly (or even indirectly, since I'm happily married), but I guess what I'm saying is that - If guys go downhill a little bit after 45 then maybe it's because they've earned the right to go downhill. Or maybe they just don't give a damn about their appearance. (Those are usually the ones who didn't look worth a damn in their 20's/30's, either.) Ultimately, though, if you don't care for the way someone looks, tell 'em to go piss up a rope because you've got higher standards!

In the mean time, I'm gonna' enjoy every white whisker and extra pound and wrinkle laugh line I've got... Because I earned the b@stards!
