Yep. I felt as though I had some good experience under my belt, not so young and naive. I was in my prime.

Looking back on my life, 33 was a good year for me, too, like Country Bumpkin. My job was enjoyable, my social life was busy, and I was pretty good at bowling and softball. I didn't have my children yet, but other than that, it was the best.

Wow, you had babies late or kind of late. My mom always said she was too old to have my baby brother.........

commented 10 years ago

Bob/PKB

Yeah, the first was 3 months before I turned 35; the second was two months before I turned 36, and the third was 3 months after I turned 38. I was definitely one of the older moms, but my kids actually had classmates whose parents were MY classmates. Felt a little better knowing I wasn't the only fossil.

I want to be all ages. I want to live twice. Sometimes writers write because they want to live twice. I sure do understand why they do that ... I think about it ... but no.. no ... no. What would be your perfect age?

Imagine being stuck in time at one age. So much to miss getting older...prostate problems for men, colonoscopies, blood pressure and cholesterol meds....

commented 10 years ago

Yes. I would like to live twice, if I could go thru it the 2nd time knowing what I know now.Then, I could breeze thru it.

Sadly, we would just make different mistakes, because we would have different circumstances. You might end up an indigent peddler in a third world country; all you previous life's knowledge wouldn't come in super-handy (some, of course...)

@ Bobby i lost one of my best friends at such a young age,over something really stupid , it made me realize get busy living...

commented 10 years ago

Bob/PKB

A lot of guys would just get crazier and never see 40. It's sad to lose a good friend just at the threshold of adulthood and all the good times to be had. I'm glad you found a good direction for yourself.

I was desperately in love and I wanted to be with my man. Always. Apparently, he felt the same way. " No love affair ends happily.” Sometimes I think about that. : ( <--sad, sad face

commented 10 years ago

mycatsmom

to itsmee......how long did that early marriage last ? .....or are you still married to him ?

commented 10 years ago

itsmee

Still together ~42 years ~ When you get this far along you know that one of you will be leaving this planet in a fairly short time. That is why I say “No love affair ends happily.” And in some ways I think that being alone might be some better. Don’t know. Never mind me.

commented 10 years ago

Bob/PKB

I see what you mean by no love affair ending happily, because someone is left alone. In my case, the "love" went somewhere else to flourish. I would have no bitterness if he had died along with the love. I will survive single, but wonder how it might have been to have a companion to sharethe grandchildren and retirement activities there wwasn't time for when the kids were young and working was necessary to provide for them. Fortunately, I am not adverse to doing stuff solo. Dance classes aren't as much fun as they'd be with a partner, though. You all who are happy in your relationships are blessed, whether you believe in blessings or not. Take good care of each other.

I meant two people who just don't belong together being together. We both had plenty of input in my marriage, just never compromised successfully.

The ancient Romans believed a man should go out in a blaze of glory when he was 30.So obviously they believed that the perfect age was sometime before that.But I dunno.I have had a lot of good life since then.I would say about 40.By then I had enough experience behind me in all sorts of things to be able to make some good decisions but still young enough (& fit enough) to enjoy the things I most liked to do.Having said all that,the age I am at now (65) is pretty good.I have time to reflect on the rest of my life & I have a whole lotta good memories.Some bad ones tooo but you hafta take the bad with the good.

Tommy, The average age at death of a man in the Roman days was 30---40. That's not b/c of war. That's b/c of infection. There were no antibiotics or vaccines.

commented 10 years ago

Tommyh

Yes.I realise that ant-biotics were not invented until at least several years after the Roman period but they actually did believe that a heroic death in battle was better than a death in old age.:)

commented 10 years ago

Tommy, I'm not disputing that they thought that.

Why would you redo your twenties?

commented 10 years ago

mycatsmom

b/c if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have wasted my child bearing years on a sociopath who asked me to marry him twice and backed out both times ! The 2nd time, I thought b/c we had been broke up, he then realized that he could't live without me and really wanted to marry me. Alas, he backed out again b/c it was a lie that he wanted to get married and have kids. Now,he's 67 or 68 and has never been married.He's always lived in his mother's house. She finally died.
