For the Over 50 Crowd

This was sent to me in an email. It's a reminder for those over 50...and a warning to the rest of us.

Rules

Many of us 50 and older are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting, and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to the fashions that the designers inflict upon the world. So here are the results of a study of the situation. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following
combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:

1. A nose ring and bifocals
2. Spiked hair and a bald spot
3. A pierced tongue and dentures
4. Miniskirt and support stockings
5. Ankle bracelet and corn plasters
6. Speedo ing suit and a beer belly
7. Belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar
8. Unbuttoned shirt and a heart monitor
9. Midriff shirt and a midriff bulge
10. A bikini and incontinence protection
11. Short shorts and varicose veins
12. In-line skates and a walker
13. Tattoos and wrinkles and liver spots
14. Tube tops and stretch marks

Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when
you shop.

Thank you for your cooperation. Keep America beautiful!!!

Well now, I like this one. I think I am pretty safe in all categories though. There was nothing listed that remotely comes close to what I wear.

Thanks for posting this.

Thanks DeeDee. I've often wondered what I would look like if I got a race trak tattoo'd across my belly... ya know, racin' stripes to cover up the stretch marks!

now that is a thought. One I never would have come up with. If you ever try it, let me know. I would have to see that one.

Aren't racing colors yellow and black?

DeeDee

Yes, they are, but I think those colors are passe' don't you? Totally overused

I see a rainbow of colors....so, maybe not racing stripes?

A rainbow of colors would be pretty. Be sure to add your pot of gold at the one end too.

very funny...and so true

chickiepoo · 08-22-2004, 04:35 AM

Polly!! Now, which rainbow end to place the pot? All of them?
So, the stretch marks on my boobs can be rainbows and the nipples can be the pot of gold!

Thanks DeeDee for the kind words. I forget myself sometimes. Maybe I should delete that post? Is it bad?

Ellie

DeeDee · 08-23-2004, 11:44 PM

Ellie, I think if it was that bad it would have been deleted by now.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure.
I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to do it, but it sure is something to think about.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if I did pursue this, end up in the hospital for some reason...give the doc's and nurses a

and grin!!
My mind scares me sometimes...
