I can't function on as little sleep as I used to. It used to be that I could go on 3-4 hours if need be. Now, I'll sleep through my alarm if I try that.

Also my beard is changing color. Strangely it isn't turning gray. I have random hairs that are turning light brown almost blond, like my daughter's hair color. It's like I have a Benjamin Button beard.

watch it will go ginger!!!

Lol, my mom's hair does get a reddish tint at times.

I was going to say I'm cool with it, but then I read this entire thread and I have to agree with eyesight getting worse. That sucks. Also, for the first time in my 38 years I started getting sore joints after a full day of sports or hiking this last summer. I wasn't really ready for that.

Since I was a kid I've had terrible eyesight. Worse than my grandfather's even.

<---- These pretty motherfuckers didn't come free. Astigmatism, cataracts, near-sightedness...

And all I really want is some glaucoma

Weight issues are fucking with me!! I was a perfect, fine ass...YES FINE ASS...size 6 until 3 years ago.

Life got good and I got comfortable. But I'm still ME and my hubby STILL loves and adores me...as the fuck he should...because I am STILL...ME!

However, I didn't actually understand the DIFFERENCE...until I went to his ANNUAL Family Reunion...and the other men folk in his family were...no longer...falling all over themselves at MY presence...and the women folk...were no longer "hating" but embraced me...like they've just loved me all the time!

WTF????

Weight Watchers...here the fuck I come!

gravity

slower metabolism

body not doing what its supposed to do, failing at the wrong times.

Where shall I start?

Grey hair - I'm getting quite a lot of that. I like it on men, but not on me.

Frown lines - My biggest nightmare. Grrr.

Big hangovers.

Not being able to wear the stuff I used to be able to wear.

Going to a club and feeling like one of the oldies.

Looking at m friends and realising they're grown-ups.

Looking back and wondering where all the time went.

Frown lines - hell yeah...I forgot to mention those because I've got so used to them. Also the fact it's Saturday night and I'm already in bed writing this

I thought about botox... but i'd be fighting a losing battle with mine.

My biggest one....that I don't wanna get old....I have never had a chance to be young...I have been a Mom since I was 15!

Well on the one hand that's tough bu on the other you've had that special thing I can sort of relate....I grew up in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do and no friends for miles and miles...not until I was 21 and went to uni did I go out to a club, get jiggy...that was with a girl I met within the first week, I've married her and have kids - don't regret it for a min but I've never played the field, one night stands, 'got off' with people and never will so I've missed that part of growing up

I don't regret having my kids...they are 24, 23, 19, 17 now and I was a stay at home Mom, but now I am in college at the age of 39 and trying my best to catch up on what I misses.

I can shave it off for free.99!

another peeve....getting down and not being able to get back up

Gray hair and the thinning of the skin below my eyes which enhances the dark circles. Oh, and the random hairs that grow on my face in strange places. And as hard as dating was in my youth, it's ten times harder in my thirties. No more of those a friend of a friend of a friend situations because all my friends are married and so are their friends. Now I have to rely on my own wit and charm. Yeah, I'm fucked.

Yeah I've noticed that I grow hair in areas of my face I would expect. I am afraid it'll only get worse as I get older to the point I'll look like Teen Wolf when I'm 40.

And all my friends are married, or divorced and dating someone. I don't get out enough now to meet someone new.

If this keeps up I can get a side job as a bearded lady...or a Kenny Rogers impersonator.

Realising that the biggest bitch is "gravity"

Less energy but more to do

Grey hairs and such a shock to find some in me pubes!!

Policemen look like kids

Drs looks like they have just finished with their diapers!

Teachers do not know more or better than you because they have just graduated!

Your good old days were in the 70s/80s and music now is rubbish

You sound like your parents

I actually saw a lady the other day whose beard AND sideburns were grown in fuller than mine will ever be. She was in a different line while I was checking out at a grocery store, so I could look across and see her the whole time. It was fascinating, funny and sad all at the same time. All I can say about it is that she seemed to be totally at peace with the situation. I'd guess she was probably in her fifties. I suppose you'd probably get used to it over time.

Yeah, after awhile I guess it ain't worth the effort, it's easier to just shrug it off. Got a lady at work like that. Not quite as bad as what you describe, but too much to simply consider it "stubble".

Had a dance class injury when I was 17, and it healed just fine. Now, nearly 20 years laters, everytime we get a chilly day with rain that ankle gets shot straight to hell.

I started wearing glasses my freshman year of college... Bifocals by the time I was 20.

Waking up with aches, and having no clue what I did the day before to be that sore.

Same with a couple of rugby Injuries (I had to play and hated it) - twisted knee gives out now and again and I got whacked in the back 25 years ago and NOW it hurts. I've also recently discovered that I must have damaged my hand at some point too...my right hand can point no problem with everything but the pointy finger tucked in tight.....my left hand however, if I try to tuck my thumb in my pointy finger curls like a hook; straighten the finger and the thumb pops out ....crazy but may explain why I could never play guitar [Edited 9/20/10 2:24am]

HATE.

IT.

Say it AIN't so!

I have a girlfriend who turned 60 recently, doesn't look a day over 43, she's already given warning that this is going to happen at some point...I'm going to rebel if it does !!!

This whole thread is scrunching my mouth up.
