42 is fucking old isn't it?

[StillSmallVoiceOfCalm]

Wrinkled. Old. Saggy.

Fucking hell.

Mine have just bought wooden mushrooms for the gardens ....hideous but strangely addictive

Some days it felt like simply twice as much fun as 21, other days it felt like one foot in the grave. I guess it depends how well you are and how good your aging genes are. My 'aging genes' aren't very kind & I have a few health issues, so often I do feel 'older'. However, I spent a day with someone I'd just met last week and she asked me how old I am - I said 47 and she didn't believe me, she thought I was 30, 35 at an absolute push (she thought I was saying older to make her feel better). I gave her my passport to look at in the end! 😁

It's a reference to items from Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'. 42 is the meaning of life according to the computer tasked with finding out.

Empress I'm jealous of the dressing gown. I actually need one.

Nope. You're not even half way. It's basically Wednesday evening as a week goes, Sunday being certain death of course, but Friday night being the end of work, and that's reason to cheer.

yes well, kinda - but I'm 46 and I can get people to listen to me at work, and I know what I'm doing and how to get out of most scrapes, I feel a lot more confident that I did in my twenties or thirties, it's not all bad

Wish I was 42 or even 52

No, course not.

I'm seriously considering being 42 for another year because it's the ultimate froody age, Glitter. Maybe try that & hint for a dressing gown this time round?

Another ten years before the close vision and the knees go. Enjoy

Well, I'm not wrinkled, old and saggy.

I'm 45 and still pert....

Well, as the saying goes, old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.

I'd rather be 28 again. 28 was a Good Year.

I do have an assortment of HHGTTG names though.....

I'm 44 Some days I feel it some days I don't .......

I've a looong way to go until 42, so yes - it is old.
Very old.

I'm not 42 until 2017, and being as its only 1999 at the mo I shan't bother thinking about it for a long while yet.....

I act about 89. I love slippers and a lap blanket and a cup of tea.

Glittermud Best Present Ever.

I'm 40
Sis is 44
Neither of us feel old.
Felt much older in my 20s when I worked two jobs
Guess some of it is context

It's NEARLY old, if that's any consolation. I'm 46 and today I feel about 80, but then I've had an 18 month old sleeping on me most of the day because she was poorly, and my joints have seized up now,which is definitely a sign of ancientness

It's not young, but not old either.

It's middle aged.

I'm going to sleep. When I wake up I shall enter my year of The Hitchhiker with dignity. and sobbing I shall embrace Life, The Universe and Everything except I don't do touching and I will carry my towel with pride.

.

PS everyone loves slippers, that's not age related. Nor is tea. Lap blanket I had in my 20s cos my flat was freezing.

Im 45 not in my dotage yet 92 is old 42 not so much calm down embrace your age
