really?…don’t tell me what to do!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"game<\/a>

is it over for us after 60 or should we just do what we want?<\/p><\/div>\n

I have been reading so many articles on Facebook and in magazines lately stating we shouldn’t do this or that after 50. Well I am over 60, so should I just crawl in a hole and give up? I think we earned the right to do whatever we want at this age…within reason that is..and if we are not breaking any laws. But here are some of the stupid things I have read that we shouldn’t be doing.<\/p>\n

Women over 30\u00a0shouldn’t have long hair<\/em>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/strong>I remember back in the 60’s Mom telling some of her women friends\u00a0they should cut their hair. Mom did some of the neighbor ladies hair and she would tell them straight out they shouldn’t have long hair at their age. I think they were probably in their 40’s. What???? Why can’t an older women have long hair if she so desires? Where is it written she can’t? What does having long hair have to do with age anyway? I had long hair way into my late 40’s and several times after that and no one ever mentioned I shouldn’t. Not that I would have listened to them anyway.<\/p>\n

Women over 20…, yes you read this right, 20…should not\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>wear leggings –\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/i> Ok, I can see why “they” are saying this. Seeing some of the people who do is\u00a0certainly reason enough to make a case for this, but… I say anyone can wear them…just for the love of all that is holy….wear a long top….very long. And never…never wear nude colored leggings(this is my own rule).<\/p>\n

Women over a certain age should not wear pants –\u00a0<\/em><\/strong> They really didn’t mention the age. Just “over a certain age”… For heavens sake, why? I would rather see a woman in pants than see her scrawny, wrinkly, dried up legs. This may or may not be coming from my own personal experience….and me seeing my own legs in the mirror.. Just again, wear pants that fit and are appropriate to your size.<\/p>\n

“People say women shouldn’t have long hair over a\u00a0certain age, but I’ve never done what everyone says.” ~ Jane Seymour<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We should not drink more than 7 glasses of wine a week –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>That is one per day, (whew..)…but really? I don’t always have that many, some weeks go by without even one glass, but sometimes you just need to “wine”… and aren’t “they” always telling us to have more fruit…like we are supposed to eat several servings a day. Does a glass of wine count as a serving of fruit? I say yes, yes it does.<\/p>\n

If we are over 60 we should not eat sweets –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Ok, now “they” have just gone too far! Who are “they” anyway? I bet “they” are sitting in their office somewhere with their bag of M&M’s typing away while writing this stuff…and laughing their heads off. I know people that never ate anything bad and… they still died… everything in moderation people..everything in moderation!<\/p>\n

We\u00a0should not do body shots –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Don’t ask..<\/p>\n

Women over 30\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>shouldn’t wear blue jeans –\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/i>I have already discussed this in depth here…\u00a0Forever In Blue Jeans<\/a><\/p>\n

“Young. Old. Just words.” ~ George Burns<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

People over the age of 60 should not, I repeat should NOT use exercise equipment –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Ok, this one I love…we are more apt to get hurt and do harm to ourselves by using the equipment at the gym. We are better off walking or just doing exercises. So thank you to the “they” that wrote this one…Now we have a good excuse to “Not” go to the gym. I am not making this up, I saw it…somewhere…<\/p>\n

Men over 40 should not wear baseball caps –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Ok, this one is just plain ridiculous. I would rather see an older guy in a baseball cap and have it on his head the correct way then see a 12 year old with it on sideways…<\/p>\n

There you have it. This is not meant to be taken seriously by any means. Who knows who “they” are, sitting around thinking up these things in the first place. My take on all of this is … Life is short. We should all do what makes us feel good! Like I said before we have earned the right at our age to feel good and enjoy life! But also be careful out there and make sure you aren’t taking too many chances. We look in the mirror and think, who is that old person looking back at us. We don’t feel like we are this age, but we are. There are two things I know for sure that we definitely shouldn’t do at our age… we should not hold onto grudges or live in the past. This will hurt us more than any wine we drink or sweets we eat. So Enjoy yourselves and above all, have fun and dance to the music!<\/p>\n

Do you have any good ideas to add to the ones I’ve written? What do you think about this? As always I enjoy reading your comments.<\/p>\n
