Whitby, you are a very beautiful lady!
thanks kimmy!
i dont know that i agree with you, but i''ve certainly grown into my skin over the years and have worked out a ''look'' which i feel works for me and reflects who i am. and i like that.
This cracked me up, I can just see it!!Date: 7/18/2009 4:02:15 PM

ellen, you and i are the same age - 49. i only turned 49 four weeks ago, so i dont have any photos of me at 49 - but i *do* have a photo of me at 48, so here you go, no make up, straight on, bare naked face....
like you, when i tell people i''ll be 50 next birthday, i often get the ''no way!'' reaction, and i''ve had people jump forward and check out my face. i appreciate the genes i''ve been given, but i''d rather feel young that look young. health trumps looks and happiness/contentment trumps everything in my book.

Strange, but complimentary I guess.
You look great miss, especially nekkie! (yer brave lol) I don't have a recent photo either, but I don't post them online even if I did, just not comfortable doing that. And I totally agree with your sentiments. Health and happiness absolutely trump looks.

lol - thanks ellen and atroop.
i groaned when i put up my photo. i have my photo up on my WW page, but putting up your own photo as an example of not looking old a 49 is a totally different kettle of fish! so - why did i do it? well...because it was ME who made a flip comment about ''do we LOOK old at 40'', and it was my FRIEND, upgradable, who actually had the balls to do it! and i saw her photo there, and i thought...''i can''t leave her out there...'', so up it went.
one day - seriously - i''ll learn to just Shut. Up.
and i am FULLY aware, Miss Ellen, that i have not seen your face on this forum. but i''m a tenacious little thing (euphemism only - more like a tenacious plump thing, but it doesn''t scan as well) - and one day we''ll meet, i just know it! and i''m sure i''ll say, as i''m leaping forward...
''wow! you don''t look your age! er...can i touch your face??''
(actually, americans can be amazing for their lack of boundaries! i''ve been pawed more here in the last 6 years than i ever was at home! (by the way - let''s be clear on this - i LOVE americans!) but so many have no boundaries! and as they''re in my personal space, i often hear...''and your accent is soooo CUTE!'' i often come away feeling like a bemused koala...)
And that she is!! The whole picture posting thing was worth it, just to see Richard kind of twisting in the wind wondering which direction was politically correct to go!!!Date: 7/19/2009 10:01:37 AM
