Atheists, you talk to yourselves, right?

Used to be, but the 40s are taking care of that for me.

A tip: once you pass 40, do not EVER EVER lean over a mirror.

Unless one is male. Men tend to age more gracefully than women.

Bastards. You guys just get distinguished. It's pretty fricking unfair.

Meh. I like me some old birds. Married one of them too. She is 70 now and I am an entire decade her junior. (Nice being the young hunk.) But she really has a shapely body, the kind of ass you could bivouac on in a pinch. Her mind is as active as ever and she is a much more voracious reader than I am.

As for distinguished, unless that includes 'portly' I'm afraid I no longer qualify. I had such an outstanding metabolism when I was younger. Now calories check in but never leave, little fuckers.

Sometimes the writer in me comes out and my inner dialogue suddenly switches as if I was narrating a first-person story.

Most of the time, though, when I am actually talking to myself it's out frustration and usually goes something like, "What the fuck?"

Don't rush me- I'm only 42.

I, too, could eat anything I wanted for years and years and never put on a pound. Now I have to work my ass off to keep my weight right, since I am not willing to give up the wine and chocolate.

I know many people who are not particularly sorry for me, since I did have over 3 decades of consequence free pigging out. It was great.

[Whateverist]

Yeah, I often joked how I too was on a diet .. to put on a few pounds.

Most of the world calls this exchange inner dialogue. Only those with mental health issues believe there is another entity involved.

This right here. Talking to yourself is only a problem when you start believing that it has become a dialogue with supernatural powers.

I like to do what Isaac Newton did and have thought experiments.

Zazzy,

Age does terrible things to all of us. My wife used to have perfect 20:20 vision but as time passed she started to get long sighted.

In what was obviously a bad idea I explained that this was natures way of shielding her from what was happening to the rest of her - this did not go down well.

Then we were in a restaurant waiting to be seated. The girl gave us menus to peruse and I noticed that my wife was holding the menu at arms length.

"You need glasses."
"I don't"
"Darling - you are now reading the menu with your pussy."

Didn't go down well either.

There was another example but as I too am getting older I forgot it. If it comes back to me I'll post it later.

I thought the problem arose when you answered yourself.
