Age does it surprise you?

Oh sorry about that, is that a technical term? I am just posting the same as many OFC members do.
It won’t happen for very much longer, promise. I’ve had a very busy day so will be turning in very soon,
then it’s all your’s.
:zzz: :grinning:

You’ve got decades to go yet, before you get there!

True. I was noticing Biden at Cop… although he’s not completely bald, the side view of the shape of head looks weird. :open_mouth:

I have always really fussed with my hair. Then when my daughter had finished her Chemo and just wanted her long hair back again…never happened…stayed almost bald, so that does of course make you…re think…

time passes though and the upsetting parts fade…They have to…

This year feeling older has finally hit me and hit me hard! I have long hair and it has always been thick and bouncy but it’s getting much finer and I have stopped colouring it. people tell me it suits me and sometimes I think it does and other days I think I look awful and long for my dark brown hair again.

I am generally healthy but have gained some weight in lockdown as have most of my friends. I do find getting in and out of the car is more difficult as my legs feel really stiff. Same when I wake up in the mornings. No fun getting older.

Thanks Baz. Goodnight :hugs:

Just remember, a decade is only 3652 days (variable) so, don’t go wasting any. :man_teacher: :grin:

Is that your daughter Dianne…its a lovely picture. Its so hard seeing your daughter so poorly…I hope she is coping ok now.

No it’s ok, I just wanted to know what other women thought about having grey hair, I would love not to have any grey so some women are lucky.

Yes Summer, she has changed though, quite hard at times now. Life’s challenges will change us and sometimes for the better.
She had to have the glands removed from one side so gets to wear a special sleeve and has regular massage treatment on it.
She is not poorly at all Summer so her life goes on. She rejected wigs at the beginning and often went about about just bare headed… as time went on she changed her mind completely and now has loads of different lengths and styles…

She seems to be coping well Dianne but I suppose she would say she has no choice and just gets on with it…it always amazes me how resilient we become when we have no choice…good luck to her.

My daughter in law lost all her hair when she had her treatment luckily it grew back and when it was about two inches long she had long extensions done which actually look great.

83 and when I wake up in the morning, I look in the obituary column of the paper, (online of course) if I am not in it, I get up.

@Emjay You are the exact opposite of the person who dashed into the bathroom to have a wash
and shave, looked in the mirror, couldn’t see himself in it so assumed he had already gone to work
and went back to bed!

He had overlooked he had taken the mirror down the previous day to decorate the bathroom!

This surprised me, and to tell the truth I don’t know if it made me feel old, or think that people are just stupid. I was watching a documentary about a story that happened in the 80s and a picture just like this one popped up.


Is the caption there because people might not know what it is, or is it the same as a warning label on bleach “not for internal use”.
Really I just got a kick out of it like they describing something from a very long time ago, almost prehistoric. LOL :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Remember before we had house phones we used to have to go down the road to use the pay phone like this…

Most of the payphones in England were in phone boxes and always plastered inside with all kinds of advert cards but mostly from the local toms looking for ‘business’.

PS toms = Thomas Moore or whore …tiz rhyming slang from my roots :wink:

And like all good public phones back then, at least in America were missing the phone book. Back then it was almost like as soon as they installed a pay phone someone would steal the phone book which usually hung from a pretty hefty metal cord. The thing is phone books were free, so this was just vandalism. It was more annoying when they stole the handset. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Luckily back in the day we didn’t seem to get vandalism of the phone boxes. Very few people had house phones back then. The phone books use to just sit on the shelf’s.

They did have a unique smell about them though which I can just get a whiff of now. :grinning:

Yes there was that about them. But what I remember I think is the mix of the smell of Bakelite and the phone books. :grinning:
