    Back when I was forty, I dropped a hand mirror and the stand broke.

    I decided to lay the mirror flat on the floor and kneel over it to pluck my eyebrows.

    Suddenly I saw what gravity did to my face in that posture - I looked twenty years older.

    It made me realise what my husband saw when I was on top. :/

    Gee - I wonder how common that is as an experience for women -
    and how it affects there relationships with their husbands.

    Excuse me?  Does HE look any BETTER in that position?  Give me a break.

    Well given that he's 10 years older than me - he then looked 80 in that position - and now he can't maintain that position at all.
    But the odd thing is - to a woman the appearance matters less.
    For him - he was so involved in what he was up to that I doubt how he looked ever occurred to him.

    I hate to admit it because it's such an unfeminist thing - but we women are so conditioned to expecting that men need to see beauty in order to be turned on. And round about that time he had started having problems with inflation. Me being only 40, and him 50, I didn't realise that what was happening was only due to aging biology. Instead, I assumed it meant that he no longer found me attractive. :/

    It took us a ridiculously long time to discover what was wrong and learn our ways around it.

      Hey, wait. That wasn’t you looking in the mirror and seeing me, it was me looking in the mirror and seeing me. No more drinks today, Professor.

    I look in the Mirror and see GOD.

    99 looks and sees YOU.


    And YOU look and see YOU.  

    One person is blinded by the LIGHT

    One person is DAFT

    And one person is a narcissist.


    Guess which ones are which?

    Look into a lighthearted, humorous situation and see lightheartedness and humor. Not everything in life has to be deeply philosophical. ¡Tranquílate, mija!

    That's the most spiritual and mystical thing I've ever heard you say, Ele.

    Fainted.  A few times.  I cannot stand still for very long because I will faint.  It happened a few times when I was younger standing in front of the mirror primping.

    Until 2012 I could not get doctors to tell me why I faint.  It turns out to be a not really uncommon problem of brain and heart communicating about blood flow needed for level or type activity.  That is why when I simply stand the blood goes South and I faint.  It helps to do kegal exercises when I have to stand in a line but usually I have to leave the line or sit down on the floor.  If you see a woman sitting on the floor in line at the DMV......it might be me.  :)

    Thanks.

    I pronounce it kee gul.  The correct spelling seems like it would be prounced keg ul.  I peeped and I am pronouncing it correctly but it is spelled kegel.  German it seems. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at August 19, 2019 10:59 AM MDT

    My husband does that. They put him on beta blockers. Did they do the table tilt test on you? They did my husband...very scary test if you fail your heart actually stops during and they have to be ready to revive you if neccessary.

    Yes; the table confirmed the diagnosis in short order.

    I have that condition too. I was lucky to have been diagnosed rather quickly. I take fludrocortisone and it seems to solve the problem. Standing in long lines still gives me anxiety though.
