As someone who is about to be 57, my only question is . .

"What are you doing on Saturday night ?"

Where are all those things that I just put down?

Happy Birthday! I just turned 60 yesterday. Parts of me don't feel a day over 49, other parts don't feel a day under 79.

As someone who is about to leave her 20s and is stressing about it….do you feel devalued as you age?

Happy belated birthday!

I totally get your assessment of how you feel...I am 64. My 50s kicked my butt with breast cancer and then a heart attack...it was not a good decade for me.

Thread OP from June 2019.

And it was brought back 11 hours ago. No more slaps on the hand for necroposting.

No, but some post that make me smile.

 Watching TV until I fall asleep, which will be between 8.30 and 10.00.

However, if that's an invitation , I accept.  You'll need to pick me up because I no longer drive at night. Oh, I no longer drink, smoke, gamble  or  go out with dancing girls. Yes, I'm a barrel of laughs. 


Serious question: Have you have become socially invisible?  Usually happens to women around 40, to men around 50 in Australia.

I am most definitely not socially invisible. I'm happily single and love my life. I have a good group of friends that I've known for 30 years and often go out with. I have a son and three grandchildren. I'm an author of two books and work part time in construction remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, whatever is needed.

I regularly stay up till midnight or after and workout 2-3 times a week at the gym. I also drink socially with friends, don't smoke, gamble at a casino once a year (if that) and I haven't been out dancing with the girls in a very long time, but I do love to dance.

Mostly I was simply curious about what you did on a typical Saturday night.
