Well, that just sealed the deal

I've been lurking here for a couple weeks and have only posted a couple of times but I'm moving to this board from 9-12 for good! Between the ridunkulous dramaz and today's "How old are you?" post, I'm movin on up with the big girls over here. It's so nice and quiet!

I found lurking on the month boards easier than posting--though I do, from time to time.  This board goes in spurts.  I personally was MIA for a while since I go online on my iPhone and I hate "bumping" on it (turning off javascript... tiny screens). But then I come back. lol

Anyway, glad to have you here!

BrideBuddies

So... how old are you???   BWAHAHAHAHAHA!  jk

 

robynlesley

LOL, BrideBuddies!

I had to look at that post and this comment kinda had me scratching my head.No joke.

I think it's a regional thing more than generational.  I'm 25 and most of my friends aren't even married...never mind having babies.  When I go to the playground I definitely look younger than 90% of the other moms I see.

Definitely.  I lived in Cambridge and most of the Moms at the playground looked to be 40+, no joke.

 I'm 41 and I look younger than some women in their late 20s. Not all. But some. Clean living helps.

Old enough not to know what they're talking about when someone mentions something called Sweet Valley High and some teen heartthrob from "long ago" named James Van Der Beek.

Pesky

welcome!

BrideBuddies

Now I could get on board if they said Shaun Cassidy or Andy Gibb.

I remember buying the FIRST Sweet Valley High book when it was released. I think I was 13.

Thank you! Or were talking about a Judy Bloome book or Flowers in the Attic FGS!

I think that 9-12 is the worse for the drama.  People just hang out there to be nasty even when their kids have grown past 12 months.  Give me a break.  I say that we stay over here on the porch and dare those young kids to come into the yard.

Everything I learned about becoming a woman... I owe to "Are You There, God?  It's Me, Margaret."

I'm sure that book isn't even relevant anymore.

Hahahahahahaha, Welcome!  I'm so totally 43.

Yay! A hearty welcome to ya!

gimmietimmies

Welcome! We do play nice here, the month boards are just for s & g's. I also Andy Gibb (is it sad that I still have the BeeGees and Air Supply on vinyl??). And Devo. Those 20 somethings don't know what they missed.

monkski

had to go check it out for myself. I am actually shocked that so many are over 30! But I also find it funny that a lot of the younger ones say things like "26, but turning 27 in October."  Maybe I should add that I'm 35 and a half.

Honestly, when I read half of the craziness on some of those other boards, I can't help but think, "YOU'RE somebody's MOTHER??" 

Welcome to the board of "sophisticated ma-mas"!

I'm sure that book isn't even relevant anymore.

They have edited it to keep it up to date, especially the section on feminine hygiene products. 

I also read the sweet valley books when they first came out, I was in fifth grade. One of my classmates was horrified that my mom would let me read a book that had the word seduced on the back.

That's good to know because I was confused about the belt thing even back when I read it in the 80's.

I just can't read those "how old are you posts" anymore. It makes me all stabby when I read another 27 y/o whine about being "so old".

Bwahahahaha! Unfortunately I knew exactly what they were talking about because my mother was not prepared when I got my first AF and brought out this contraption with straps, pads and SAFETY PINS FGS!! I think she went out that night and bought the "new" stick-on Stayfree pads. You know, the ones Cathy Rigby wore with her leotard?

I'm with you. I'm almost 41 and have almost no wrinkles and look about 35. I'm counting my blessings and my good genes but like you said, clean living and striving for balance in your life really help.

Ha, ha, I totally remember! And I think they still sold those pads that you attached to your belt when I first got my period. My mom was unprepared too so I used a folded diaper cloth left over from my little brother and headed with mom to the pharmacy!!!

Welcome!

I am totally loving the Andy Gibb flashbacks.  I actually made my ex take me to the cemetery where he is buried, so I could bring him flowers....and I cried.

Oh, and Judy Blume was awesome.  I found an old copy of Forever at Half Price Books and scooped it up for nostalgia.

I came here from March 2011....I think the group has intelligent questions and intelligent answers....and a good bit of wit as well.

But I hope they kept in the "I must, I must, I must increase my bust" exercises!
