Sorry!....Who did you say you were Longthing!...

Re: Do you feel/look your age?
If feeling old is:Listening to radio stations that only play the good old stuff
Having my first cuppa of the day only in a certain mug
Detesting today's narcissistic, selfie loving society, reality TV programmes and soaps
Not knowing half the people who are apparently 'celebs'
Getting set in my ways
My strength has gone to weakness
Feeling irrelevant
Being thought of as one of the 'you-shouldn't-be-on-this-planet-breathing-oxygen'
Then, yes I feel old
Do I look my age?
Check out my selfie and make up your own mind. (Damn I'm becoming a selfie obsessed OAP)

Zuleika is a resident of the political forums which probably explains the lack of humour.

Re: Do you feel/look your age?
Most of us don’t see ourselves as others do so I leave that to them. I much prefer to concentrate on the positives each day that I definitely know about. The first and most important of these is that I did wake up this morning, plus with luck, will probably manage to do all that needs doing during the course of the day.Mentally I still manage quite well. This includes using Mac laptop and desktop computers and iPhone. Without calculator or pen and paper I also manage to answer most of the word and number games on Ch4's daily ‘Countdown’ in my head so I guess not too bad in that way. Never a day goes by either where I do not learn something new.
Age is just a number and at past 70 and after a heart attack 11 years’ ago and two motorcycle accidents many years’ ago I just consider myself very lucky in every way.

Re: Do you feel/look your age?
Noooooo! I have so many granddaughters and nieces that ensure I keep up to date with the latest fashions for my age, and I am sure I deserve to have shares in Olay, because I seem to buy loads of their products. I should look about 16!Truthfully, it all depends how I feel in the mornings. Some times I can look in the mirror, my hair has behaved itself, my skin is glowing and I know I will look good for the day.
Other mornings I get up, look in the mirror and step back in shock!
One side of my hair has usually been pressed to my head from the pillow! the other side is standing on end as though it has been electrified. Not a good start,
then whilst trying to brush it tidy, still looking in the mirror and catching the light from the morning sun through the window, I can't help but notice the extra crows feet lines that seem to have materialised overnight, and when did that little blemish on the end of my nose happen? and I'm sure my cheeks are sinking in a little cos when I stretch my face, the sunken looks disappears! (time for a face-lift? no thanks.)
Still, as long as HWMO still loves and desires me, I don't care if I look my age to be honest. He is always telling me he thinks I'm beautiful, and if he is talking rubbish, who cares. He convinces me.
