I love This Blog
Posted by itfc1959 on 18 June 2010 - 10:32am.
Apart from the fact that there's a general age consensus and that we therefore all seem to be singing from the same page on Life's Long Song Sheet, there are some cracking writers on here to boot. I thought some of the stuff on the mid-life crisis would not have been out of place in the magazine, and more than a few of the one-liners had me laughing like a drain, much to the consternation of Mrs ITFC1959.
Ah, it's good to be among friends.

Me too
I have been up to my ears at work for the last couple of weeks and haven't had the chance to keep up with the Word blog as much. Its something I missed a great deal.
Me Three
I love the cordial tone and when some nastiness does break out , it all gets resolved in a gentlemanly fashion.
Agreed
except that at 23 I would like to think I am a fair way from midlife crisis ;)
Pfft... Child.
Shouldn't you be at school listening to your Dizzee Bonkers mp3s on a tinny mobile phone speaker at 12kbps... or something
:-)
Only do that to scare oldies off!
rofl, lmao, ;) etc
23?!
I can't even remember that far back...
23?!
I've got underwear older than that.
Me too
I think this is a great blog and although there are a lot of people the same age, there's a decent mix which I think can only be a good thing.
Yours,
Joe R, 23 and three quarters
Me too
Let's all have a group hug.
*hug*
A firm handshake...
and a little nod of recognition will do me. I wouldn't want anyone to think I was a hippy.
I'm 27...
... for the record.
Chris
I'm 36...
... and I've just filled in a job application and I'm now on the third age bit. First time that's happened. Oh well, off to the midlife crisis thread I go...
"I'm 37 ...
... I'm not old"
Female
and 38 and like you a relative newbie here.
So far I've found it illuminating, entertaining, moving, and bloody hilarious.
Carry on.
32
I love it here too. I probably blather on too much, and I don't doubt the feeling isn't quite fully mutual, but I really do love it.
Fifty Four but ...
Good news is
I'm sort of in the middle at 43. Bad news is that makes me officially middle aged. Another 10 years and it will be bifocals and pile cream.
Make sure you get the bifocals
before attempting anything with the pile cream.
In all honesty
are you saying you can see round there anyway?
I had assumed that the pile cream
comes with small print instructions (or maybe some sort of application device involving a mirror on a stick?)
Varifocals give you all the benefits of bifocals
but without the irritating line across the lens.
Can't advise on pile cream though :-)
...but aren't they a BUGGER
to get used to when you first try them? Nearly broke my neck walking down the stairs on day one. And they cost as much as I spent on my first hi-fi! Jeeeze.
Snap
Although I'll pass on the bi-focals and pile cream
My Dad..
..had piles and specs by the time he was my age, (42) and so far I've managed to steer clear of both. His liver and personal finances were probably in better shape though. Swings and roundabouts...
58
and enjoy reading the blog so much..brilliant people, funny, interested and engaging..you can learn and laugh a lot on here..Love and Peace to you All! Remember you are MASSIVE!
and getting bigger
every day.
I love this blog
I like the way it feels like I am talking to mates. I was very interested & quite moved by the comments about my mid life crisis, I found it quite touching.( Pauses to reach for a hanky)
I shall stop now before we all hold hands & start singing
"Kum by Aah"
Peace & Love.
I thought your post said
I love This Boy. Still, any excuse to play one of the Fabs' finest moments...
Oh gawd!
Not them again! :-)
I love it here too!
I love this blog too
but my home is looking a little uncared for since I started to join in on all the fun here... Ah well, cleanliness is close to boredom, or however the saying goes.
And I'm 43 ( no, I guess I will be 43 in August ? OK, just realized that I've been telling people that I'm 43 for a whole year in advance...now they're gonna think I'm lying next year, like those people who turns 39 ten years in a row - oh dear... ), and this August I'm going to my very first musicfestival!
So no, I don't worry about growing old. In fact, I like it. Less and less pressure to be cute and normal. Next stop fullblown eccentricity!
My theory is that it's more acceptable for a man to become old and "ugly", but the relief is much bigger for us women, when we finally stop trying to be attractive...! So I'm looking forward to losing all of my vanity ( not quite there yet though )!
first music festival
Bless !! I was 48 when I went to my first music festival, had a brilliant weekend & I am sure you will too.
I shall expect a wriiten report within 24 hours of you getting back !!
Enjoy
Peace & Love.
No
I'm not going to the "Peace & Love" festival, I'm going to "Popaganda"...
"Peace & Love" is in another city wich means you have to sleep in a tent or get an overpriced hotelroom..."Popaganda" is in the middle of Stockholm, a few subwaystops away from my comfortable home!
As I said; I am 43 ( 42 ) and I am well past my tent-by-date!
( Unless you meant it as a "live long and prosper"-type greeting, in wich case I say; Thank you and I wish you the same! )
Peace & Love
It was meant as a best wishes type way of signing off !
Enjoy your Festival, make sure you go in the dance tent,
& I meant what I said about a written report when you get back // recover !!
Peace & Love
And just remember...
... our Christmas - Glastonbury on the Beeb - is but days away.
Best weekend of the year for the massive.
I'm off the ale for a few days now, sleeping lots and getting a few runs in to sharpen the intellectual muscles in anticipation of being brought to book by Fraser while he's by the Pyramid and getting top tips on single malts from El Hombre Malo.
I feckin' love Glasto with the massive.
"our christmas"
arf!
Yes, I'm looking forward to it
Glasto on the BBC
My favourite TV event of the year bar none.
Last year I watched Springsteen on a Hotel TV the night before I saw him in Hyde Park - Fantastic.
