* We got off the Titanic first.
* We can scare male bosses with mysterious
gynecological disorder excuses.
* Taxis stop for us.
* We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
* No fashion faux pas we make could ever rival The
Speedo.
* We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.
* If we forget to shave, no one has to know.
* We can congratulate our teammate without ever
touching her rear.
* We never have to reach down every so often to make
sure our privates are still there.
* We have the ability to dress ourselves.
* We can talk to people of the opposite sex without
having to picture them naked.
* If we marry someone 20 years younger, we're aware
that we look like an idiot.
* There are times when chocolate really can solve all
your problems.
* We'll never regret piercing our ears.
* We can make comments about how silly men are in
their presence because they aren't listening anyway.

Oh, too funny. Although... did you know that more 1st class men survived the Titanic sinking than did 3rd class women?

Heehee, I have to agree totally with item 2. Even though it wasn't so mysterious, I had a male supervisor who was totally freaked out by my pregnancy, especially in the late stages when I looked like I was about to deliver.
We had a good relationship so I was going to go into his office while he was out at lunch one time, spill water on the floor and leave him a voice mail message (something to the effect of, "sorry about your carpet but my water broke...") Never had the guts to follow through tho'!

Yes, a lot of us look like we just went through the BASS-O-MATIC when dancing.

O.K. How many of you know what I'm talking about? Not only did I live through the 1970's, I danced through it!! Anyone care to BUMP or Do the Hustle? Gosh, where's my mirror ball when I need it.

Heehee Katzee! Stopped at the gas station yesterday and the car beside me had the stereo cranked on "Ballroom Blitz". (That wasn't you was it?) You know when you are getting old when the songs you listened to as a kid are back on the top 10!

I don't dance either - unless I've had enough to not care. I don't have any rythm (sp??). Give me something hard and rocking any day.
I knew I was getting old when the classic rock station started playing music I listened to when I was 18, 19 20. But for me the fun part is watching VH1 and laughing at the way we dressed back then. My kids just can't believe the hair. But God help me if the "Kelly Bundy" look ever comes back. No way in this world would I be able to handle seeing one of my daughters dressed even remotely similar to that.

I think I need a bumper sticker that says "I Lived Through Disco!" My niece thinks its hilarious that I know all the words to those deep, heartfelt, disco classics such as "Stayin' Alive", "Boogie Oogie Oogie", "Get Down Tonight", "Shake Your Bootie" I told her, learn the first line and you've got it. Example: "Love to Love You Baby." How hard was it to remember three or four words "I love to love you Baby" Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.  ?? Of course, at the time we thought that was FAR OUT. Gosh, boogying (spelling???) down memory lane in my polyester bell bottoms, platform shoes and toe socks. {WHAT WAS I THINKING THEN!!!???!!!} Kat, who boogied, oogied, oogied 'till I just can't boogie no more! And yes, I've been know to crank up the stereo when "I Will Survive" comes on. Anyone care to learn the hand gestures? |

Radar!!! I did that water thing! It was accidental, actually, but the opportunity was too good to pass up. It was one of the highlights at his retirement party five years later.
