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!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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?
That's what I've been reading. That's it's a relatively huge contiguous body, and its proximity to the vaginal wall is responsible for the vaginal orgasm. But there's a really really clumsy article on jezebel (which completely ignores the previous existence of the large clitoris article a week or so ago on IO9), and I had thought it was actually a dead issue for women, say 30 and younger anyway. Like, even for my age, it's had a lot of falloff. Then again, I haven't cracked an issue of Cosmo in quite a while, and aren't they backhandedly shaming you for not having *every* sort of orgasm possible?
