    Another 70-year-old in India has IVF baby

    Actually, you would.

    Imagine having to take care of your 90-year-old parents when you're 70.

    Hey I will be 74 when my parent is 90 :lol:

    She has already requested that I put her in a nice nursing home when she needs it and spare no expense. I'm her only hope when it comes to a nice old age. She can't count on my sister :P

    70 is NUTS, and selfish, and creepy

    but 45??? I don't think there's anything wrong with that.......I had my daughter at 40, so probably a bit biased.

    I guess in your 20's you imagine 40 as ancient...lol :P

    I don't think 40 is ancient at all but if I was 20 I wouldn't want my parents to be in their 60s or even 70!

    What does it matter how old your parents are when you're 20? It's not like they're going to have to chase after you through a park or something.

    It does matter. Generation gaps. Older parents don't understand their children because they have no clue.

    But at 20 you are no longer a child.

    Usually...lol

    Tried to edit and double posted...added content.

    Why not? It would reflect badly on you?

    My dad had my half-sister at 37....it's never bothered her.

    My Dad is in EXTREMELY good shape, bikes, runs, travels like a maniac....lot more energetic than most pepole half his age.

    It would have been better for my half-sister to never exist than to have a Dad who was in his 60's when she was in her 20's?

    Odd.

    Not EVERYONE turns into a close-minded coot who yells "Damned kids today" ya' know.

    I have a 15 year old who drives me nuts with his grindcore music and such, but I can understand it's his taste and I try to understand and don't give him a hard time when he listens to it, or tells me the 10,000th mosh pit story..lol

    open-mindedness has no "age".

    Short-haired women are less sexy

    so not only your wrinkles and saggy body will say you're old, but your hair also? I don't thijnk it's tacky. Tacky is everybody reaching a certain age having to have the same short haircut, like they're announcing my days of being pretty are over so I might as well cut my hair to finish the job.

    So if you dont have long hair, you're not pretty?

    Maybe Nessa meant it different, but I take that as the long hair making a woman feel pretty. We all have something that makes us feel pretty. That's not to say that short hair can't make another woman feel pretty. It's just the societal finger-pointing that says...tut, tut...you are too old for long hair. You should act your age. Well, what does that mean?

    I guess I'll just have to be tacky! :D

    And I guess, I'll just have to throw in the towel and be a frumpy old lady! Wow....I used to fell kinda pretty...who knew?! See below

    And, btw, I'm not talking about the "old ladie" set and roll...I'm talking a nice bob or layered cut, sholuder-length or less.

    Of course movie stars with professional stylists (and facelifts) ..etc look great, but in GENERAL when I see a 50 year old woman with flowing gray or ultra-dyed hair, I think TACKY.

    There is no law, but as we age I believe it's best to go for classy and sophisticated, rather than sex kitten.

    Again, just my opinion.

    Why can't long hair be classy and sophisticated? I don't understand why only short hair can be that. You don't have to have to have the tousled just-out-of-bed look going on. LOL

    Again, just a matter of opinion I guess.

    And I love my short hair, never grew it long again.

    Absolutely! I haven't had long hair for 15 years. The longest I've had it in that time is when it was in a bob. Short hair is easy to look after and you can always funk it up if you want to. My hair takes me about 10 minutes to do, tops.

    My old hairdresser in London refused to cut hair on ladies over 40 if it was long. Said that women over that age should stop trying to be girls and grow up. Long hair on women over 40 IS aging - he's right.

    Just my 2 cents, of course. :P

    "Grown-up" women are supposed to have short hair? :blink:

    That's not what I really said. You see quite a few women over 40 dressing far too young for their age (trying to retain that "girlie youth"). Having long hair can be an equivalent to that, in many cases.

    I just think it's aging on women over 40, is all.

    Oh, I soooo agree, long hair on older ladies is TACKY!!!

    I cut mine short when I was around 30 and I LOVE it still.....

    when my hair was long, it always ended up in a scrunchy half way through the day cause it would start driving me nuts....so what was the point?

    Now my hair is stylish and pulled together all thorughout the day.

    40 is the absolute LIMIT in my mind to have super long hair.

    OMG this is so crazy...we were at the beach in Neskowin on Sunday and my husband was standing filming the ocean and a sneaker wave came from the side and dragged him and our digital camcorder under the water. He was okay, thank god, but the camcorder has been laid to rest.

    I'm not going to that beach anymore

    My husband bought a chip resetter for our cartridges from EBAY and it's awesome.....there is SO much more ink in those cartridges after they claim to run out.

    Its cringeworthy to me that there are still people out there who carry around door-step thick wedges of notes when they go out.

    I went to breakfast last weekend with my friend and he pulled out this massive wad of cash wrapped in a rubber band to pay the bill. I thought #######? you carry that much cash but you can't afford a wallet or a money clip? :P

    Probably compensating

    I think kids should have the full magic of X-mas experience, Santa and all.....real life will be around soon enough to jade them...lol.

    I LOVED the looks on my sons faces X-mas morning when they saw Santa had been there and all the presents under the tree and stockings stuffed....so fun!

    My Mom was a huge hippy and believed that she shouldn't lie to me so when I was five she told me there was no Santa.

    I was totally crushed and I'm still a bit peeved that I never got to really experience the "magic" of believing that.

    I just let my kids come to it naturally, they start to hear it in school and such...when my younger son was 10 he said something about Santa, and I asked, "Do you still beleive in him?" and he said "not really", and I jsut confirmed......no trauma. I didn't have to "tell" him and they got to have nice magical Christmas' all those years...which I am happy for.
