I don't say this negatively, it's simply a point of interest for me. I look back even just four years ago and feel like I looked "so young" compared to now. I'm certain that feeling will only intensify as time goes on. <br /><br />And speaking of such things, I said to Tony quite recently that I wonder if I'll ever get carded again. I almost never go into bars or casinos and rarely buy alcohol (especially since I can't drink), so there aren't many occasions for such, but there have been some when I could have been (carded) since the last time that such did occur (a little over 3.5 years ago now). Much like reaching the point of being offered senior discounts, I think that (ceasing to be carded) is a clear sign that one has advanced in years.<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-11069855831613411972016-01-28T23:14:20.514-05:002016-01-28T23:14:20.514-05:00It's all stages of life we have to get used to...It's all stages of life we have to get used to.

I was sitting on a bench in a shopping centre and this little old lady asks me if I am his GRAN!!!!! REALLY!!!!<br /><br />Now, I am proudly 100% grey at 53, and I sometimes get the senior discount without being asked and sometimes the cashing will say "Pensioner?" to which I respond ... "What are you looking at ... my hair or my face?" and every time it comes out "Your hair!!!" This will, however, not make me colour my hair ...

It's going away (the tattoos help) but every once in awhile. No I don't get student discounts, I'm on the opposite side of my twenties now, and if my mom's looks have any say, I'll be 50 and people will still think I'm way younger. Hooray for the baby face.

If I remember correctly I blurted out, "I'm not a Ma'am!" <br /><br />Even to this day it bothers me when someone calls me that. Servers get extra points (and a larger tip) if they refer to me as Ms. or Miss. I know I'm delusional. <br /><br />I *wish* I could move past the negative connotation that I associate with age. In reality I should just be damn happy I'm still here, able to move around without discomfort and still use the bathroom on my own. That is the real fear I have. Losing my health and then losing my dignity. You seem to lose your humanity when that happens. That is how I remember my illness. I didn't feel like a person anymore. <br /><br />The whole thing about the funeral is just weird. I'm sure they get people that complain about that. <br /><br />Interesting poignant topic!<br /><br />bisous<br />Suzanne<br />http://www.suzannecarillo.comSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-91812405969720160832016-01-26T13:34:13.828-05:002016-01-26T13:34:13.828-05:00Oh no!!!!
