Believe it or not getting older does have its advantages besides not being dead. One of them is that you don't get hurt so easily. You shake it off because you don't take it so seriously. You too?

. I guess you just learn to take everything with a grain of salt including friendships. So if they work great. If they fail so what? I mean what else can you do but "so what" it? Mope? Mourn? Meditate?

    The hurt part definately applies to the worn out body.  For some reason, though, I have always been sensitive to critisism by wives. That is the main reason I got rid of the first one. Anyone else I can blow it off.

    I've gotten a lot better about blowing off criticism and people's petty meanness.

    Me too Way better. Because I don't care about them so how can I care about what they say? Thank you for your reply cloud41 and Happy Monday. Now if it were to come from people I love that would be very hurtful. That I could not shake off or walk away from. Hopefully I never have to test it! :)

    Yah, after a certain point you just don't care about stubbed toes and sprained fingers any more. Is that what you're saying?

    That's du ... Uh, I mean, maybe I don't understand what you are getting at.

    I think you are right, especially about past relationships and accepting after the last one ended that it was the last and your love-life is over, and you can do nowt about it but accept the fact and live the life you have now.

    And, of course, the perpetual fun of yelling at kids to get off your lawn...;-D...

    I think we all have our sensitive points no matter how old the person may be.

    We do indeed, and hopefully age brings the experience to recognise our own and of those around us.
