I'm a little bit ashamed to admit I love International Love, the Chris Brown song featuring, erm, Pitbull. What can I say, I dig growly Latinos.

Wow, this thread is interesting and timely for me. I have several friends age 50+ who have met their SOs via Match.com, so that gives me hope.

I agree with you, and think that this is a way of being to totally live up to, personally and professionally:

Steal away and use in good health!

yes, definitely to opening the mind to the possibilities. There are still people I grew up with who are holding on to ancient beliefs, having just had a mini-reunion with some HS classwomen.

I can actually relate to Peggy's struggles with being progressive (or maybe I'm just projecting). I was raised in an insular working class, white Catholic environment like her, where we were taught that "Negroes" were nice people and good, but not quite like us or as good as us — certainly "other", even though I came…

Cha-ching! Awesome wit.

I'm fortunate to have pretty gorgeous shoulder-length wavy-curly dark brown hair with silver streaks in front — not humble-bragging, but being honest. Strangers compliment me all the time on it, and it's kind of a trademark. Some of it is the genetic luck of the draw, but I also take good care of my health and invest…

Gray Panthers is/was the name of an activist group for older people (a la Black Panthers) ... graypanthers.org; doesn't have quite the sexy vibe of Silver Fox, IMO, so I'll stick w/that! I'd rather be in a category w/Anderson and John (and Helen and Dame Judi).

I think the eyebrows are yet another page from the early Madonna playbook.

I read this article yesterday and the whole thing struck me as so narcissistic! I like a fun wedding as much as the next person, and don't judge if people want to elope... but it does seem gross to me to have all that production with no one to see but paid help/witnesses. I mean, I can get bored looking at photos and…

Is it bodysnarking to say that in that dress, Alyson looks like a python who swallowed a rabbit?

Although I'm very open minded on alternative treatments and don't quease easily, let me tell you this is skeeving me out to no end. A quick google search reveals an inordinate amount of people discussing the merits of urine therapy, using aged urine, how long to keep it, etc. Big yuck.

I'd say White Stripes clips are the right answer to just about everything.

his generation = my generation. Also one of my favorite Who songs. Yes I am a baby boomer, (but at the tail end) like George and our dear President, who is en route to silver foxdom as we speak.

he is so awesome — and so sexy! wish I knew some available guys like him nearby. He's totally age-appropriate, and aging so, so well. As am I, which is why we should be together.

there actually is a site that uses astrology — [moonit.com] (sorry if I'm not supposed to link).

Awesome, thanks. I've actually read the Anne Rice trilogy and have gone back to it. I'll never forget the bookstore clerk's response when I bought it; he muttered something about "strong stuff..."

do tell! All this chatter about erotica has got me hankering to get some new stuff. I'm a little out of the the loop and I'm determined to find the good so I can prime the pump of my rebounding libido.

Appreciate that. So what are your recommendations for something stronger/better? I've read a little of each and am ready to explore more. Thanks.
