    Well, to a certain extent, yes: it's so good that other men pale in comparison to me. Sigh, it's a burden.

    Not surprised. A Jarhead who runs and works out.

      Lol!  No smoking, drinking or drugs either. Now if I could only stay away from eating practically anything made of chocolate . . .

    Perhaps it generates too much gas, but that is from eating all that green broccoli and beans.

  • Wow!
    Whoever she is, she's absolutely amazing.
    I hope there are people who adore her for her confidence, audacity and humour.

    No not really any longer. Since menopause gave me for the first time a really visible bust line.  Never liked my androgynous face but the years have actually quite softened it to the point I am quite all right with it.

    Just because I cover it...no no, not out of embarrassment at myself but due to 'others' embarrassment;))

  • No, I've always liked it alright :) It looks good enough, it's tall enough, no significant physical issues, all functions work pretty well. Nothing much to complain about :)

  • This is a "short" joke, isn't it!

  • Yes.
    Until I hit 50 I was naturally lean, 5'5'' and 117lbs.
    Since then I've been slowly adding a tiny bit extra each year and am now 127lbs - a bit portly and flabby.
    Today Ari and I went for a swim at the beach and I found myself feeling acutely embarrassed to be seen in my bathing suit.
    Of course, no one else seemed to mind. The people there came in all shapes and sizes.

  • No, but not proud of it either. I was proud of it last year. I think I looked good last year

    I have a bit of bones pain in my legs and feet,  can make  me appear a bit wobbly on my pins when riding city transit so quite often some younger person will think 'I should get up and offer that doddering old fart a place to be seated before he falls'.

      That's wonderful, Dear. Now get the apostrophe fixed on your keyboard or you'll never find a nice boy like Randy D from the other side of the tracks to go out with you.
