First!

imfree · 12-13-2011, 11:16 AM

I'm Free & first!!! Yep, born about mid-way through last century, 1955, and still haven't grown up. Maybe I'm just spirited, I dunno. I know about a lot of old stuff that I've through, that the young Guys studied in history......

MarkZ · 12-13-2011, 12:01 PM

Darn it! late again! Oh well second is cool too. I just want to say that I have been around these parts (Dims), since the beginning, way back to the early days of the print mag. Thanks to the Chief, Heather, Ann Marie, Randi, and to all the fabulous models, who have graced this place.

I don't say much around here, but I appreciate this place immensely.
I have a crush on SummerG!

I know, join the club!

Seriously? I am the oldest female on Dimensions at 57 years of age? Either that or everyone else is hiding in the forties. LOL! Aw, well, I will just hang out here with the guys.

There are many more, and hopefully they'll start posting, Kara. Sadly, I cannot be a regular here anymore. I'll be 61 in February. My 50s were the time when I took up drag racing, scuba diving, built another business, and saw my life change drastically in other ways as well. Now, excitement is a cup of chamomile tea every now and then, pet the cats, and waiting for the next issue of AARP magazine. Well, not quite.

Just turned 56 in October, born in 1955. Influences include cartoons like Pigs Is Pigs, Betty Boop & Little Jimmy and of course my namesake, Jackie Gleason.

51 here. So far my 50's have seen me living through a divorce and discovering I do still believe in love, pushing myself to do things like rock climbing and being the most fit I've ever been, dancing more than ever, having a career I can be passionate about, and celebrating the true beauty and sensuality I see in myself. There have been challenges and heartaches, but my have there also been joys and adventures!

Coming up in the next few years - running in a 5K, sky diving, traveling, and finally getting connected with Hospice as a volunteer (something I've wanted to do for ages).

BubbleButtBabe · 12-19-2011, 10:42 PM

Well I am a 54 year old woman living life to the fullest! I say come on 60's!

Now that I'm in the 50's, I wait for the AARP mag, too, and am disappointed there is no centerfold. Well, there is always Dimms and the Wannabe hall of fame and the paysite board and photo threads! I still have the mind of someone in my 20's, if not younger and even less mature.

Wowzers!!! Now, there's an interesting thought! A 50-something centerfold, a mature Lady who has been on this ride called life a while, still has a sense of adventure, and likes to show off!

I'm not sure if you're if you're old enough yet, but you look great, so go for it when and if you are.

TallFatSue · 01-06-2012, 05:12 AM

I'm 54. In a nutshell my 50s have seen me battle mild depression after my company was bought out 2 years ago and I was forcibly retired from a job I had more than 25 years. Lost a lot of my mobility sitting around the house bored bored bored, gained 70lb, and more or less vanished from the face of the Earth.

A year ago as I was trying to snap out of my blue funk, they decided to rehire me part-time 3 days a week so now I'm a double dipper! Methinx the new muckymucks reckoned a big fat lady in a relatively smoothly-running workplace must just be sitting around on her ass doing nothing all day. Ha! Serves 'em right! Lost some weight and regained most of my mobility, except I need a cane now and I know how to use it! I try to accentuate the positive but I am soooo glad to see 2010 and 2011 in my rearview mirror.

2012 is looking up. Hubby & I look forward to our 30th anniversary so that's cause for celebration! Thank goodness for family and friends.

"Now that I'm in the 50's, I wait for the AARP mag, too, and am disappointed there is no centerfold." Har! Har! I'm 74. With magazines designed for us, you're disappointed if there IS a centerfold.

Ho Ho Tai · 01-07-2012, 03:49 PM

I'm 74 and I've had more experience being in my 50s than anyone else here. That goes for my 40s and 60s too. Not too sure about the 30s. I was there, but don't remember 'em very well.

But my 50s were the big turning point of my life - for the better - and the decade which my psyche owns. Found a wonderful gal at the start of that decade - the redoubtable Mrs Ho Ho. Used to sing her that Beatles song "will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm 64?" Well, I'm 74, she does the shopping, I do the cooking, and we feed each other.

And if any of you think that you're going to escort me to some dusty attic reserved those of us whose busts are about to be put on the shelf, well, jump on your bike and see if you can catch me.

My mother will be 80 this year and she might give you a good run! Me, not so much. I do need to get more exercise but I'd probably need a farm tractor seat to fully support my tush. Wide load, ya know.

No doubt about it, age and weight are catching up with me and I'm having problems with my legs and feet. My cane is a big help although I hope to lose it eventually (the cane I mean -- I lost my mind long ago

). Weight loss might help if I weren't allergic to starving myself. I'm trying water aerobics for some low impact exercise to improve my mobility, not to lose weight but if it happens that's okay. It's a nice atmosphere and I'm not the only fat woman there. I haven't heard any snarky comments about being the biggest bathing beauty in the pool and nobody has asked me to balance a ball on my nose. I get enough of those acrobatics jumping through flaming hoops at work anyway.

Theatrmuse/Kara · 01-10-2012, 04:49 AM

Sue, So good to see you posting. I have always enjoyed your point of view about the world, fat and other issues. I hear ya, Sister. We are in this growing older thang together. It might not be easy, but honestly it doesn't seem a lot different with my thinner friends. Aging is just HARD.

I, also have been going to water aerobics........okay well, honestly took a break during Nov. and Dec. but am working up the courage to begin again. It is alwayss just difficult to get yourself into that suit and go the first time again, after that...........people are nice in the class and I feel fine with minimal anxiety.

Anyway, just wanted to say "hey" and GOOD TO "SEE" you on here again.
Hugs, Kara

Hey, Sue - If she rides, send her over. We have a few extra bikes here. We could probably get her outfitted.

And I'm not giving up on you either. Some day, maybe TFSue will stand for Trail-Floggin' Sue. I'll bet Art's a Screamin' Demon on a bike too.

Trying to imagine myself as a biker babe and I like it! First things first though, for now I'll be taking it one step at a time. My health is still good, it's just that I've reached that point in my life when I need to make some changes to keep it that way. Old habits are hard to break so if I take it slow and steady I should stay ahead of the curve. Curves are good, ya know.

I guess that my gal (the redoubtable Mrs Ho Ho) just decided one day that she would rather keep riding her fat-tired bike than stay home, fat and tired. But seriously (before I'm banned for life, either because of anathema or bad puns) there are a lot of good biking threads and posts on these boards which cover just the sort of things folks like us would like to know.

I just wish I could put more money (or action) where my mouth is. We are half way through a winter very rare for Minnesota - no snow and not that cold, really. We're seeing temps above freezing during a time when - 30 F is not uncommon. I see bikers out all the time, all bundled up of course. No Lance Armstrong look-alikes out there now. I've been tempted to crank up the bike, but time and energy weren't there. But it won't be long now . . .

cinnamitch · 05-20-2012, 05:26 AM

Well dammit, I'm here. 50 as of 3 days ago. Pfft.

Theatrmuse/Kara · 05-20-2012, 09:41 AM

Welcome! I know how you feel.............I have 2 more years here and then off I go to the 60 group. But ya know, it's ALL good!
