    I'm 70. The other day I went to the store dressed all in purple and wearing a flowered hat.....someone said I was cute as a button. I'm happy with that. A cute little old lady.

    That’s no longer guaranteed with men’s pants. It’s become more like: “Your waist is 40 inches, so you’re probably going to need a 42 or even a 44, because we cut these pants for millennials who want the super-skinny jeans. Oh, and if your inseam is less than 30 inches, you’re going to have to hem them, because we can’t be bothered to offer shorter than that. Even custom.”

    Because then you'd also have to deal with that same doctor telling you you're dying of hysteria because your wandering uterus got stuck somewhere under your right shoulderblade and prescribing you a course of leeches.

    Ohhhh no. I've never been and refuse to go there. Their uniforms are trashy and the way they are treated is ridiculous. I worked at a fast food restaurant years ago and 3 4 state troopers came in. Well 1 of them though he was being cute and grabbed my hand when I gave him his change. I had his drink in the other hand. I told him to let go of me twice. He was gonna be wearing that drink when 1 of the other troopers told him he should let go.

    Mine were always sparse. After chemo they're only about half there and very light. I don't care enough to "draw" them on. And they wouldn't be drawn correctly anyway! 😄 Getting older does have a few advantages!
