Any women here over 50?

I was just wondering because most everyone here sees to be in their 20s at most. I have a difficult time relating to problems about boyfriends, mean girlfriends, MySpace, and sex, because that was 100 years ago for me.

Maybe we could start a thread for older women?

Yes we have enough of over 50's (me 52)
to have a room in members rooms I'd say.
Some great humour so far at this thread.
(hey they are saying "humour"is spelled wrong
but that's how we spell it in Australia.
Being over 50 for me means arthritis
and kidney stones.Ugggh.
We are the champions though for surviving 50 years and more

I actually went shopping yeaterday for new bras. the price of those skimping bits of fabric. Aus$49-$69.95 that doesn't cover, nor lift the big ones up.

A sports bra stopped at a size 16 DD and had very little support. What? do they think just because some women are bigger that we don't excersise and don't bend over?....

Now I usually wear this size in other bras but it's been acouple of years since I bought new ones (have always bought up big on any that are are on special and actually do, do the job) to find although I have not changed the sizing certainly has.

I tried all the bras that where made for big girls (all of 5) only to find all where ill fitting. Underwire sitting out so far from the body that the arms rubbed against them. Cup size E still did not cover the right boob properly and the back was so skimpy that before I even raised my arms up the back was up around my neck

There was a very pretty bra that come in all sizes and I did wonder if they ever actually sold that bra past a size 16 B, forget the 12-14 DD plus sizes as that group was completely forgotton, which surprised me as usually it's the bigger sizes all over that miss out.

Although very sexy it's straps where so thin I'd be forever ajusting it, wiggling around trying to get it back into place and then I had a light bulb moment, we according to the manufactures are completely disperate to feel beautiful an sexy, so some would buy them just to sit in the draw too be admired, for that never to be special one day!

It was so depressing to once again find that I am unable to buy pretty things for my age and size.

Oh! and I do think they should manufacture a Menopause bra where ice packs can be inserted like the chicken fillet bras.

This is the intro:
Women over 40

Group Created by nonightowl
I wanted to create a group for women mainly 40 and over, who are experiencing things like insomnia, mood swings, anxiety..while maybe also dealing with aging parents, possible career change (voluntary or not),"empty nest" ..that kinda thing. So, if you want to share/request coping strategies or just need someone to listen, I thought this would be a good place!

Note I said "mainly", not "only". If you're 35 but FEEL 40 cause you can relate to this, that's close enough!! Join! LOL

Lighthearted topics, such as makeup, hair care, and fashions are always welcome too!
