You need to take time to thank your mammas! She never told you some of the pitfalls of
aging and halleluiah! If you had known you would have ran for cover! If you don’t
know, SPOILER FOLLOWS, read no more.
Your mirror becomes your enemy. Yes, done are the days when
you wish it could talk. No, ladies this ain’t The Wonderful World of Disney
where she is going to tell you things that just ain’t so. Have you heard of the
Mirror Test? Don’t try it if you aren’t
ready to visualize the truth. Take a handheld mirror, turn your head upside
down and look at yourself in this position. Look at all dem (or should I say
damn) wrinkles! Thank you dear Eileen Fonde for sharing this tip! Reality
check.
Oh, and those boobies you thought would never drag, if you
were fortunate enough to be graced with them. The age old Pencil Test is true,
it is done by many plastic surgeons, if your breast tissue can hold it, you are
droopy sister. Time for a lift, to the
tune of a lot more than you want to spend, lots of retirement money, cruises,

watch.
It is hard to talk about this subject directly and honestly
without sounding crude so if easily offended stop reading now! Butt cracks are okay on young people, women
in particular in tip top shape have taunt behinds. Ladies aging do not. And let’s face it, there is usually enough
room in there for Moby Dick for many women. And the way jeans are designed these days, at
any age, bending over lets it all hang out.
Who designs jeans anyways? Can there be any anywhere they are not called
lo-rise or mid-rise? How about a pair
that doesn’t fall down when you move?
Most women are not enjoying the ritual of being compared to “plumbers”
by their husbands.
Sex has its advantages at this age. With experience comes
the ability to become better negotiators.
It can easily become a Get Out

have more time to browse in stores and get an added Senior Citizen Discount.
However, shopping is an experience.
Clothing styles seem to often want to quickly jump the aging population
into the style less class and jump the prices up for some reason though most

Hello, did you know that seniors are living in poverty level in many
