And you thought you had a bad day!

Julio, Hi, I got that beat! Be prepared, this is very personal. Today, my mother asked me if I had a different bra. She said the one I was wearing made me look MATRONLY! I'm 43, matronly should only be used to describe my grandmother. The bra I was wearing was bought 1 mo before my surgery in March (catalog order, cost me $30). I lost some weight and it was loose. I felt sooo hurt. I went inside and found my smaller bra that I out grew and squeezed into it. She said it was much better. I would have rather had your day! You look great, could never pass for 56! Much Love, Esther

You are kidding me - you looking 56 - heck no.... Don't sweat it she does not know any better.... You look no way near 56-you look great regardless what your age is... She needs to be . Magaly

Ahem... What is the matter with being 56? Some of we 56 yr olds are PROUD to be not getting older but getting BETTER! oh "Obviously-Younger-Yet-Looking-Wiser-Than-One's-Age" guy? Do you need a mentor to help usher you into your more "golden" years? Last night I pointed out to my wonderful hubby that the hairs on his arm are turning white! Gotta love love huh? So OLD MAN... EMBRACE it all! T.

Dear Juli-old, OOPS!! I mean Julio. Don't ya know 50 is the new 30????? I like to think that way since I am creeping ever so slowly to my 50's. 56 seems a LOT younger than it used to especially after losing all this weight and being more fit than we have in years. It seems like we have turned the clocks back and have youth on our side again. So, don't be too insulted.... we will bring your spirits back up to where they should be.... So let me tell you dahlink...... what ever age you are...... YOU LOOK MAHVELHUS! (especially in that rocking chair) Have a great 4th weekend, you young buck, you! Terri

Hey Big Brother, Awww come on buddy , don't let some idiot youngster make you feel bad, they don't have a clue. I always get called mam when I am in the store, and I am younger than you. You look marvelous and young as far as I am concerned. Dont let that make you have a bad day life is too short. You have come along way and your a hot ticket!!!!!! So I am giving you advice this time instead of you doing it for me. DONT FRET. YOU LOOK MARVELOUS MISTER!!!!!!!!! Hugs little sis Kim

Oh poor Julio!!!!! Take heart buddy we know you are just a kid!!!!

OMG...Julio That cracks me up!! Don't be breaking out the cane and geritol yet...You're lookin' good my man.... and definately not 56!! PS...On Wednesday's Kohl's has a extra 15% off senior citizen's discount you should think about taking advantage of... Hee Hee Hugs, Mickey

You are all Treasures to me as well as to those who are lucky enough to know you! Feeling much better and hope everone is having a Great Holiday! Love all you guys!

Hey Julio, I did not read this post until this morning and had a good laughing ! If you want to look younger then go change your hairstyle and new clothes style then ask one of us to help you to go shopping Thank you for a good laugh I need it! Hugs Kathy k

Ummmmmmmm, you don't look anything like 56. I'll never, ever forget the day I gave birth to my daughter - the VERY day. She had to have an MRI, and one of the nurses asked me if I was her grandmother - I was 36 years old at the time, wearing a robe, etc. Duh!!!!!! Then it happened two weeks later when I took her in for surgery at Yale. The nurse wanted to know when her Emily's mom would be in so she could talk to her, and it was so nice of me to watch her for MY daughter so she could take a break! Never fear though Julio, the youngster who said that to you has probably realized by now her mistake, and feels awful......I once asked a woman "when are you due" ( I owned and ran a maternity shop at the time and she was in my store - so it was a forgivable mistake) and she wasn't even pregnant Felt awful, but you can't take it back once said. Forget about it, shake it off........enjoy your holiday!
