Midlife Crisis:)

[gizzy32]

Soooooooooo, as my 35th birthday is approaching in a few weeks I have noticed some changes. Some mornings when I wake up my body hurts in places from old sports injuries and I groan now lol. I think I am in the early stages of arthritis in my hands, I wake up in middle of the night and have to pee and it's taking me longer, that never used to happen. I finally have 2 chest hairs and 2 nipple hairs haha. I also have the urge to buy a convertible corvette. I now use the term "when I was young" a lot. I am a moody b itch sometimes and I miss the good ole days. Young people are calling me Mr now instead of dude or man. Am I having a midlife crisis or is this the effect from all the drugs I did? Lol.

The above picture is me when I was just over a year old and I want my mickey mouse and overalls back.

Haha! Hey Gizzy. I used to work in fashion. I can make you some mickey mouse overalls if you really want them ;)

I totally get where you're at. My 34th is approaching in exactly 10 days. First birthday clean in GOD knows how long, since I was 13, maybe?? LOL...

I get called ma'am more often than I'd like. But then again it might be the good ole southern boys that work at the oil refinery on island being politem so that's normal, right?

I hate to say this out loud, but it's true. Whenever a kid (by kid I mean a boy from the ages of 18-29) checks me out or tries to hit on me I actually get giddy over it. LOL, especially when he's a hottie! (We won't mention this to my husband, btw). When I tell them my age they about double over from shock. I think as drug addicts we "stay younger" if that makes any sense. Because our emotional maturity is still trying to catch up to our actual physical age. And from what I've seen of your photos, I'd say you're the same way:)

Anyways, it's what I like to tell myself to ease the pain of it all, you're welcome to try my technique! And if a convertible corvette is what you want, I say GO FOR IT! You've earned it brother, no question! Think of all the money you're saving not using and buy yourself something special:) As a b-day gift!

P.S. DON'T waste your time missing the good ole days. THESE are the days we live for now! It can ONLY get better if we so choose!!! We're CLEAN!!!

Happy early Bday!

I hit 60 a couple months ago..."senior discount, sir?"  Moved a bunch of furniture for my daughter on Sunday and I'm still sore..My wife and I drove to Foxwoods Casino (about a 2.5 hour drive from where we live in NH) yesterday and after 4 hours or so I was ready to drive home "If we leave now we'll be home by 10!"....and I could barley get up for work...
lastly, we ordered a new bed to be delivered tomorrow (thus moving stuff to my daughter's)
and I've been sleeping on the floor (on a futon mattress) and my wife on the couch...oh, is it rough getting off the floor...

Lastly, I'm on call this week for work  24/7...up and down all night...used to be able to do it and put in 8 hours the next day no problem...now i almost need a day off to recuperate!

Still have the mind of a 35 yr old though, much to my wife's chagrin.

Happy Birthday Gizzy

10 years ago when I was 38 I bought myself a car with a huge whale tail spoiler on the back,I call that spoiler my mid life crisis.35 is soooooo young,I wish I could still remember being 35  LOL

[Beccabeccalynn]

I hear what everyone is saying I will be 37 on the  24th I was 37  for about half of the year then my dad said " no bec your 36" I don't know when it happened cause I still feel pretty young my body would definataly disagree. And I just think it's weired, of course I am skinny on the inside also. So go figure. I wanted to bring up something else while we are on the topic but when did they start giving medical degrees to 14 year olds. Aren't doctors supposed to be older than the patients. My dermitoligist is 14 and my primary care doctor as well. The only one who is older is my counslor and he got a late start because he spent a few years using. Becca

[Beccabeccalynn]

ps. I had a nipple hair also till I used nair in it( do not do this ever it really burns) so far the chest is ok. I do have a long blond one on my bicep that is like three inches long I call it my man hair and I love it. I loofah around it so as not to bother it, my kids tease me but I love when it flaps in the wind while my arm is propped out the car window. It is actually my favorite body part.  I LOVE MY MAN HAIR :-)

Wife says my dreams are going to kill me!!!!.......................Thanks gizzy

[dominosarah]

Well i remember a time in my life when i could cough and sneeze safely........

[narla]

Sara you just made me laugh so hard I had to rush to the bathroom---LOL

[dominosarah]

LMAO!!

[beatingthis]

Sara you crack me up!

[IBKleen]

Gizzy,

You are a babe in the woods! In 3 weeks I will be turning 58 and I feel so old.

I wouldn't be all that worried about a chest hair, it is the ear hair you have to look out for. And if you think you are achy now when you get up...well just wait 20 years. Getting out of bed in the morning has become a contact sport for me and I make noises that don't sound human all in an effort to get my feet on the floor.

I don't know that this has anything to do with the drugs. I see non-addict friends doing the same thing so that kinda makes me feel better that it is just a part of getting old.

Listen kiddo, I can't promise you the car. You're on your own with that one but I can send you a new Mickey if you want?

Hang in there...you are still a handsome little boy!!!

P.S. Sarah? You need me to send you a box of depends?

[dominosarah]

OMG some of these people have catepillars growing out their nose, ears and eyebrows.  Do they NOT SEE THEM?

[dominosarah]

I meant caterpillars.......

[Htownnofrown]

Im going through a quarter life crisis if there is such a thing. New apartment, new car, newly single lol. I turn 24 in November and not looking forward to it lol

[dominosarah]

How do i nicely say this.....MUST BE ROUGH!!!  LOL

I will be 50 and am looking forward to all the benefits of AARP!!

[PromisedLand]

I spent my midlife crisis, actually getting divorced at 38 then spending about 4-5 years blowing all sorts of money following the Grateful Dead around and just having a lot of fun..and dang it I did.  


Jim

[PromisedLand]

thank you, Sarah for the reminder re AARP...time to renew....I love getting senior discounts at various places...sort of.


Jim

[PromisedLand]

Or was it the Grateful Dead following me around?  whatever..they always seemed to be where I was those years.

[PromisedLand]

Now listening to one of my favorite near midlife crisis sons (and he only one by Elton John that I really like)...Love Lies Bleeding/Funeral for a Friend...oh my God...what memories that brings back...I think

[narla]

I'm still trying to get my husband to say goodbye to the nosapillar-
I even bought him electric nose clippers but he says they hurt-Poor baby,mind you I go through the pain of getting a Brazillian wax-go figure maybe I should stop.
