Should we just accept that we are passed looking good? At first I felt a bit sad, then I just wanted to kick the advert makers! What a load of tripe! Friends of mine who I have known for years and years, and we're all similar ages, I would say ALL of them look better now than they ever have! I dont think of 40 as old any more, when I was 15 or so, I though how awful it must be to be over 30!!..lololol....( now Id hate to be 15!) What am I whittering on about here? not making my point very well am I?.....I mean , no way is 40 over the hill. oh and happy birthday once more.x

A Chef friend of mine is a huge advocate and customer of Turner of New Zealand products. Say's to be of highest quality.

(My 49th is just around the corner, even though it's been feeling more like the 59th or 69th these past several months.) I feel the 4-0 is a neat little milestone, in that the "feeling like a high school kid" stuff is gone, but you're still young enough to not feel "middle-aged" yet. I'm thinking the 5-0 hallmark, signaling the start of regular colonoscopies, is the true tear jerker. LOL!

Word to the wise: do NOT allow your appt time to be pushed back because of "technical difficulties," forcing you to go without food or drink for more than 10-12 hours (16 hours by the time they started). Blacking out and dry heaving inside a CT scanner isn't a pleasant experience. %^(
