   Holly’s life will be over if she doesn’t shut up.

   Holly, you may only be thirteen but my guess is that you’re going to have a hot flash in a moment.

   The hot flash will be a 12 gauge in the gut.

   You’re 11 years younger than I am but when I hear comments like Holly’s I just laugh and laugh.

   Danae’s not a teen; she’s 9.

    Hasn’t anybody ever tried laughing at Holly instead of getting upset? It would absolutely curdle her: good experience.

    I turn 50 in October and i’m proud to have made it this long. It’s not as easy as it looks.

    I’ll be 47 next week. Everything still works pretty well, maybe not as good as it always did.

    I certainly don’t condone violence, but sounds like Holly needs a smack in the chops! (or at least no computer or cell phone for a while)

    It’s so sad that youth is wasted on the young…

    Only true Survivors get older. A big complement is always, “Gee I wish I could have done that”(or thought to do that).

    I have a feeling Holly will be regretting that comment.

    Holly seems like a fairly normal teen to me. Seeing what I’ve heard from real ones- parents do seem ancient even if Grandma lives nearby- and heard from others when I was one… Read a child development text. Teens do literally see things differently- like losing the ability to recognize some adult facial expressions so worry, etc is confused with anger (several experiments have overwhelmingly shown this!)

    An irony is that well before I was Holly’s age (actually, I was only roughly-half then), I recognised that 39 was not life’s end (one of my mum’s sisters was then 42 and her husband 45, my paternal grandparents were 60 and 52, and my maternal grandmum was then 61).

    Old is always 10 years older than you are now…..

    Age is a state of mind. I’m 58 and feel no different than I ever did. I feel good, look good, and love my life, it’s all good.
    But I do remember thinking like Holly. We probably all do at that age.

    Hey - somebodyshort - it’s NOT ‘not much upside left’ … I consider it as “years of training, leading to a LONG run and spending the be-gezuzz out of their inheritance”!

    39 - HAH! - drop in the bucket! I’ll be 58 this fall. My kids made a BIG “to-do” when I, and then the wife, turned 50, until I reminded them a Latin phrase I’d learned - “Tempest E dax rearum” (lose trans. = Time, consumer of all), and that they TOO shall face this!

    (YES! - it shut them RIGHT UP! … Years DO pay-off!)

    Blue Topaz and Sarge have the right idea. Somebody Short, take notes.

    You’re all mere slips of lads and lasses.

    I can think of a major regret about 13 years ago.…
