Gidget (Sally Field) is on the cover of the AARP Magazine this month. Eeek!

You saw the fact that I mentioned "Sweathogs" in my LJ and people didn't know what that meant.

I may be younger than both of you, but I am deeply pained by each of these events.

Thank you for not asking why I have a copy of the current AARP Mag. :)

They started sending that to my mom when she hit 40. Forty!

Then they sent me a membership, about when I turned 25. I thanked them for their optimism, and went back to giggling.

(It's actually my mother's. I filed a change-of-address form so that any correspondence or bills that arrived after her death would be sent to me -- so her subscriptions are, too.)

That is just wrong.

We are not that old.

Nor is Gidget.

[goldsquare.livejournal.com]

We are, and she is.

Sad.

With all love and affection -

piss off.

Hey - five years ago, you thought the jokes about you being aging eye candy were funny....

Ah, well. I never was eye candy. Now I am just aged. :-)

{Insert previous salacious comment about eye candy here.}

I'm not, but I'm old enough to have made a crack to Lyle yesterday when he complained about not being able to get on the massage table with groaning a little...

H:"uuuugh... OMG, I've got my father's sound!"
L:"? What's that from?" (not quite placing it)
H:"Welcome Back Kotter" (after Mr. Kotter plays a challenge match of basketball against Washington, to get him to stay in school)

We are, and I'm a card-carrying member.

Um, you're eligible at the age of 50 to join the AARP. I know, I checked it out, since I'm 49 ...

And Paul McCarney was there a few months ago since he had reached the age of 64.

(Mom's a member, too. Though I don't know how she got a membership at age 38.)

But is she looking her age or is it all Botox? :)

(Article in today's Guardian has me going about all the older women who refuse to show their wrinkles and try to look 30... :)

I think "Gidget goes to Rome" was one of my favorite movies! Although I really liked "Gidget goes Hawaiian", too.
