I'm still a sun hound. Like you, when I was young I would totally slather myself with all manner of goo to get tan (baby oil + aluminum foil reflector mostly), and went to the beach every day during summer. Have had several epic sunburns in my life, too. My feeling is that most of my sun damage is done already, so…

I know, I learned how to be a single gal in the big city from Mary and Rhoda! I cannot believe she is 79, either.

My first cat died essentially of old age at home, the day I was going to put him to sleep. Had him from my early 20s to late 30s, such a constant in my life. Since I lived in an apartment w/no yard I brought his little body into the vet, wrapped in a blanket, and let them dispose of him. I don't know why I didn't do…

Emotion-shake! Love that. Am stealing. Thanks.

Of course I have no idea whether this couple is homophobic... but being gay usually doesn't twig w/that kind of Jesus talk. Good grief, then no one should adopt! As if it's any less of a crap shoot than having a kid the old fashioned way. I mean, just because I know my medical history, and my partners' doesn't mean…

OK I clicked through to the FB page to read the whole story. So many emotions...mostly likely due to where my head is at these days. I swear it feels like PMS except for the fact that I'm post-menopausal.

THIS. Rowr was my exact response before I read the caption. Ever so cute. Love the gray coming in. Was salivating over a guy in spin class yesterday w/silver temples. My radar is up for a fellow silver fox. (as I have a Susan Sontag-esque streak myself).

WOW. So great to hear Bowie's voice in something new. I quickly lost track of who was who and what was what in this, also had no idea of the genders of the 2 who were not Bowie and Swinton. But I guess that's partially the point.

...and why "shouldn't" she? People who have much in common, but have an age difference, shouldn't be in love, IRL or fictitiously? And what's up w/the thing about coordination? what are we, all toddlers till we hit 30?

Thanks! I'm very passionate about this — not so much having big age differences, but just being able to be the person I want to be, and to encourage others to seek the same, even if it's out of the conventional box. And as a woman, I get so angry when people can't fathom why a younger might desire a "crone"... but no…

Yes, underage would not be cool! I think it depends on the ages... there's a big difference between someone who's 18 and someone who's 36. As we get older chances are better you're not so far out of the realm of each others' worlds. More commonalities. That being said, don't think I'd seek out this large an age…

See my answer to @FIGJAM. This really hit a chord w/me. I've been involved w/a guy half my age for awhile now. It's far from perfect, but serves a great need for both of us. I could be his mother, true. He prefers older women, and thinks of his age peers as "just chicks" with too much drama, and who I think might not…

Hell yes. And I speak as a way over 40-something woman who has been involved w/a 20-something guy. He pursued me. Part of his attraction to older women (well, me) is experience and sexiness and stability. I've blown his mind on more than one occasion. I think it also helps that I'm also quite fit and in shape and…

I need to watch this video every day to get in the mood for life. Snoopy was always my favorite. THANK YOU.

Actually, I'm not. The process happened 5+ years ago during a vulnerable point in my life. I found it creepy enough, and I was skeptical enough, to not pursue, although I admit I'm fascinated by the religion, along w/Mormonism, as I said in my original post. I've built up my boundaries. This person is also my health…

He's also a big smoker. Really catches up with you. And unlike some of his peers he's done nothing to his face in the way of surgery. Apropos of nothing, he was one of my first adult celebrity crushes (post David Cassidy, et. al.). He's close to my age, so I feel like we've grown up together. I also like me some bad…

I'm glad my very limited experience never went farther! But I know had I expressed interest in learning more I could have very easily been sucked in by this otherwise very upstanding and trustworthy person. But all religions that emphasize proselytizing are like that.It's just a matter of degree.

I know; and they're both relatively new religions so we don't have the benefit of hundreds of years' distance from teh beliefs. As many others have stated, Catholicism on the face of it sounds pretty darn wacky and cultish. I guess because it is. I could never reconcile the worship, and what seems like idolatry, of…

I have read those websites... very scary stuff. I'm definitely practicing appropriate boundaries w/this friend, who if I really think about it is more of a colleague. And my audit, or whatever it was, was several years ago and no hounding since, thankfully. If I had been open to learning more he would have been all…

Absolutely, as I commented to another poster that was several years ago, at a more vulnerable point in my life. Not happening again!
