I realize it's not a contest, but I do believe I am the senior senior member. Bow down before me.

[flex]

LOL at auto banning.

[abbandkaa]

I'll be 45 in less than 2 months, can I join?

[flex]

No bowing allowed on this board. Perhaps an occasional head nod or arched eyebrow.

I'm here for the cookies! Yum.

Hmm, can you beat 59 and 5 months?

Pffffft. Signed, 59y, 9m, 15d. I needed my fingers and toes to figure that out because my abacus is broken.

Not a contest, but I doubt it!

There is really no age limit. The idea is to talk less about child-rearing, and more about life's OTHER changes.

Old lady rolling in!
Are teenagers off limits? Because they are the fucking worst.

YAY!!!

[rella1098]

I am a longtime lurker, but can I play?

I am 41 and I hate it.

My daughter is 17 and I hate it.

I want to be young, darn it!

You win! It's nice to know there's another person from the class of '74 around. 

Uhhh...61y, 3 months here. winner winner chicken dinner. Class of '72.

[mags]

I'm so old my kids and I survived the teen years!

[flex]

No one will be turned away.

rella1098, I would KILL to be 41. My 40's (with the exception of 47 through 49) were the best years of my life.

Signed,
56 years and almost four months old.

[rosiebear]

Yeah, I'm sad to see that people are upset about being in their 40s. 40s are awesome, mostly. There are downsides, sure, which I look forward to discussing in excruciating detail with you all, lol.

I have many rules. First of all, no babies. No talk of getting pregnant, being pregnant, post pregnancy, teething, tantrums, toddlers. Automatic ban.

My vagina is covered in cobwebs. Expect many contributions from me until my untimely death.

40's were my best decade by far. Except for the leadup to menopause, which I refer to as the "no upholstered furniture times." Menopause itself fucking rocks like little else on the planet. Month after month after month, no period surprises!

And no (hardly, anyway) monthly mood swings.

Corrollary: No poop talk. No talk of poop color, poop texture, poop frequency or poop volume. I would like to apply this to poops from people of all ages but I will accept the prohibition if it applies only to poops emanating from people five and under.

I'm 56 and I haven't had sex in 5-1/2 years. Now that I'm post-menopausal, I don't really care.

[ghost]

46 with a 2 year old. Guess I don't belong. Please know I will stay, though!

[flex]

Okay so let's put a stop to the "I guess I don't belong" poor-me shenanigans. Just start posting. Gah! lol

We'll have to check the bylaws on this situation...

[sweetsadie]

I'm a lurker, but this is a board I can really relate to since I don't have kids, don't have a budget, and don't do anything to my house. I'm getting ready to turn 50, and the Ms (menopause, crappy metabolism) are taking over my body. My poor husband. Fun times ahead!

Absolutely you belong here, WELCOME!  (rose)

Also, I became a mom at 42. We have one son who recently turned 8. After many years of trying my ovaries FINALLY COOPERATED LONG ENOUGH to let one egg go.

I am always so glad to see/meet other moms who became moms in their 40s. It is such a blessing.

So, yes, PLEASE DO STAY!
