Can be relationship related or otherwise.

Get this, I saw a guy probably aged 65+ (he was very grey and balding) driving a boy racer car and driving like one too....he was at least 10 km p/h over the limit and listening to rap on his stereo at full blast.

Safe to say will probably never see that again.

10km/h over the speed limit isn't really that much.
Though the age 65+ boy racer thing is pretty funny.

Yeah but it was at least, could have easily been 20kph over. I was shocked by the whole thing and am not shocked easily.

In the grocery store last week there was this woman a few feet ahead of me.

Uggs
Pink/lime striped knee socks
Very short shorts,purple
Sports bra, electric blue
Rabbit fur jacket, I think it had mange
Cowboy hat

I'm all for comfortable clothes, don't get me wrong. BUT!!!! It was about 15 degrees outside and she was pushing 70.

It takes a lot to scare me, i'm a mom but that did!

I was on the highway today and saw the back door to a semi trailer just fly off and the guy behind him was quick to drive into a ditch. Door flew over his SUV. Messed up his SUV driving into the ditch but walked out without a scratch on him. A friend of mine was killed by one of those huge steel rolls breaking loose from a flatbed, but I'd never seen a back door just come flyling off.

I've noticed women doing that since I was a child and always felt sad for them. At some point in their young lives they came up with a way to look that they think pleases men (IMO) and they keep doing it well past 50. I've never seen one as outrageous as the woman you saw but the poor dear woman was trying to look sexy. Let's hope her meds or something was keeping her body warm enough to withstand the cold.

Young people think, that older folks just should sit in recliner and sip on herbal tea...

By my kid's standard, i'm old. I'm 55 and proud of it.

I'm not about to give up shorts and tanks in the summer, too hot here, but in public I wear slightly more age appropriate clothing like capri's and such. Then again, I work hard to keep in fairly good shape.

When I can no longer distinguish my butt from my knees, then and only then will I buy stretch pants!
