Oh, shoot, I knew there was something I wanted to do with all those limes. Cordial! And I just gave up and juiced them all yesterday. Oh well, there'll be more and this time I clipped the recipe.

I thought the latest thinking was that the g-spot was actually part of the clitoris, or all connected, or something. Advancements in anatomical knowledge, 3-D imagery?

40 is TOTALLY middle age. All of the annoying body going to shit stuff is happening now that I am turning 40.

I hate it.

I'm 48, and I totally intend to live to 96, so I'm middle-aged. That's okay with me. I'm also fat, gray-haired, and covered with cat hair, so I'm living the cliche!

I will be middle aged in August, then. But most people think I'm about 33.

Good thing I just bought my first bikini today. I found an UNDERWIRE TOP for $6.98!!!! And it fit, and a friend gave me a too-small for her now little black swim skirt and I will be baring my whole damn torso this summer.

Scary, yet I can't WAIT for the pools to open!

Now that I'm 40, I feel like "middle-aged" should be, like, 53. (I picked that arbitrarily.) Because my brain feels like it's 25. Seriously.

This 42 YO totally agrees.

I was chatting with my coworkers today, one is 26, and the other is 33. We hang out at work a lot, and get along really well. And then sometimes I am reminded that I am older than they are, like the time I realized that I started university 25 years ago. But today, the 26 year old started complaining about having to hang out with a 19 year old on the weekend. Considering she and I went to a movie the previous weekend, I laughed.

My grandma, the one who was in the er, 98 years old...I remember her sometime in her 80s saying something like, her brain always feeling like it was 17 and not understanding the face that looked back at her from the mirrors half the time because she didn't think of herself as old. I get that, but I also get the tired and achey and things not working right anymore and everything just settling and finding new places on my body to shift (with NO DISCUSSION WITH ME) and the cane shaking OFFA MY LAWN.

I made homemade lime cordial this weekend. This might solve the gimlet wars!

Cool! I was going to make that. But then I was lazy.

So I'm glad to hear it's yummy and am inspired to try to make it.

Any tips?

I'm 51. I don't anticipate making it to 102. 80? I don't know.

I am not in guacamole.

But I may be middle-aged. Also, I have squandered enough spring break with WoW, Facebook, and fanfic, and tomorrow I must Do Something. Help me, Natter, you may be my only hope.

Any tips?

I would recommend trying it with the ginger; I didn't. Also, I used only two cups of sugar and it was a little sweet. Finally, the stated amount of limes only ended up with about 60g of peel so be aware. More peel might be even better.
