Middle Age vs The Middle Ages

February 22, 2012 by

48

Many people nowadays confuse being middle aged with being in the Middle Ages.  They can be forgiven for a certain amount of confusion, since neither group of people had births recorded on iPhones and immediately posted on social media networks around the planet.  Neither group grew up with Tickle Me Elmo and Teenage Mutant Ninja […]

Dating After 50: Revealing Secrets. Or not.

February 9, 2012 by

49

An overwhelming number of people who choose to enter the dating world after age 50 have already lived at least 50 years.  And, if they are like most people over 50 (and many people under,) some of their early choices in life, while not resulting in life in a maximum security prison, may have still […]

Mabel, Down the Road

February 6, 2012 by

42

Mabel is the mother of a close friend of ours. Our friend, Bill, her son, died 18 months ago.  Mabel was born in 1915, which, for those of you who are mathematically challenged and can’t work the little adding machine on your computers, means that Mabel is 97 years old.  She lives in a big […]

For those Boomers who are contemplating spending their retirement years as monthly Diamond Plus cruisers, take note: You might soon be the only people onboard the cruise ship. In a survey of 1500 middle class Americans, Harris Interactive found that 25% say they will “need to work until at least age 80” to live comfortably […]

Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt 5

January 20, 2012 by

I’ve had a lot of fun writing about Susan this week.  Many of you, consisting of one person, asked if Susan was real.  I have actually asked her that same question on several occasions, and she has always considered thoughtfully and then told me to shut up. Susan and I have been friends since 1998.  […]

Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt 3

When Susan arranges her first meetings with men, she has to make sure she meets the right person.  This is because she has, on at least one occasion, had an entire conversation with the wrong person in a public place.  His wife, when she arrived, was not amused. Susan’s way of making sure that this […]

Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt 2

January 17, 2012 by

For those of you who believe my friend Susan hasn’t given online dating enough of a chance, rest assured she has been doing this since the original site, cavematch.com. Thus far, she has only excluded the sites that would result in the FBI confiscating her computer. After she is contacted by men, and, after she […]

Welcome to a five-part series of reposts, a veritable cornucopia of past drivel, a best of, a past hits, a test of quantum physics.  If all reality isn’t reality at all, and if everything is happening at the same time with no past, present, or future, then not only isn’t this a repost, the events portrayed are […]

Wanting Sex Less and Enjoying it More

January 9, 2012 by

A new study is out, conducted by the American Journal of Medicine.  The researchers were people who have perhaps the best job on the planet, next to those who are in charge of quality control for Haagen Dazs, analyzing sexual desire and satisfaction in 806 women, age 40 or older, with a median age of 67 years.

(The following is the tenth in my new series, “Old Posts to Dredge out on Slow Weekends Because When I Posted Them Originally People Cared More About the Economy and World Peace Than My Blog.” Although nothing has changed, it’s the start of a slow weekend, blogging-wise.) London Daughter has asked that I write about […]
