She is apparently close-minded or at the least, narrow minded. Just imagine how small and insignificant she must be in her life. Stupid people say stupid things. I would still be smiling in your position and shaking my head. What kind of sad life it must be...........<BR/>And as far as the old thing goes, there are many women older than you giving birth and raising children. There are grandparents raising their own grandchildren. Your hair certainly does NOT define who you are or what you are capable of. It's your spirit, your drive, your passion, your love of life.....You are so young in your heart. That's what counts.<BR/>BTW- I had a dream the other night that I gave birth to septuplets--yes, me, at my age! And I loved it!<BR/>Children are truely a gift from God.Linda ★ Parker's Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580449029112777882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37100528.post-18686838381347854222008-09-10T00:25:00.000-04:002008-09-10T00:25:00.000-04:00People can be such dopes sometimes. :-)People can be such dopes sometimes. :-)Middle-Aged Moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687022843803093290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37100528.post-22123313344938083362008-09-10T00:18:00.000-04:002008-09-10T00:18:00.000-04:00Would it help if I told you I went completely grey...Would it help if I told you I went completely grey at 18?

When I first came home with Lily, I had her with me when I went to Weight Watchers one Saturday morning. The lady who was greeting everyone said, "Well Hi Granny!" I turned and looked behind me...no one was there....slowly realized she was talking to me.....said something I am not proud of and turned and left. I totally blame this woman for my current weight problem...think how much I could have lost on the WW program in the last three years....a whole person by now (LOL)! Anyway, I was 38 and CRUSHED!!!! Sadly my hair had just been dyed!!! This post just brought back memories and I had to share!
