ROFL...I turned 43 a few weeks back, how do you think *I* feel about that!!!!
My 30's were too hectic to truly enjoy....my kids were born when I was 29 and 32. Most of the last decade is a fog of diapers to homework, capped off by a divorce (my mid-life crisis LOL). So far, my 40's are being MUCH better.

Aw, i'm sorry you guys had such a hard time of it. I'm having the time of my life.
Hey, I'll be turning 32 too!! Next month even (I guess at least I'm older than some?) Still don't feel "old" (I know, I'm not, yet)
Later,

God, that sounds like me. I had my first at 30, my next at

Neither would I. But I would go back to 28, and marry someone other than husband number 2. Barbara Dream Master

Lol. I'd go back to 30 because I was just getting pretty together by then. I'd NEVER go back to 20 though. Ugh. I don't even want to admit I knew me then.
:) So far so good! My life has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year or so, and I am hoping the 30's go just as well. :) My hubby turned 30 last November. We tease him mercilessly, but really, he says nothing's changed. He was going grey five years ago, so that's no problem. :)
Me either! My 20's blew, most of the time!
Most of the time I still feel like I'm about 25. What does it feel like when you feel like you're 30? (I'll be 32 next year)
It's not me! 30-05-72
I'll be 46 on August 24, and I keep thinking "Wow, I'm almost 50! Do you know how old that used to be?" And I look at my almost 25 year old nephew and think "I could be his mother, and have been an adult when he was born"!! How could I possibly BE that old??!! LOL!
Unfortunately, my 40's have not been all that great...my lifelong battle with depression reached its peak (or its ebb) in the past couple of years, partly due to menopause (the hormonal changes) and partly due to the loss of my corporate identity (I mean job) and more importantly, the deaths of my parents 11 months apart.
I am just coming back enough to be able to move out of my sister's house and be on my own again (and I had been on my own for a verrrrrry long time) and to start looking for work again. I have enjoyed our artwork and we are becoming more successful at it, but my sister has been shouldering the capital investments for the last year, so I need (and want) to go back to a steady paycheck to help finance the company for the next year or so.
And so it goes, and so I go. I know the depression is lifting...I can see the sun.

Congratulations. That must be a Beatles chorus I hear in the back ground (cue music: "here comes the sun, here comes the sun. I'm all right.") Barbara Dream Master

Pfffffft! I'm 06/08/81 (US date format), but I think Valerie was born a few months after me. I think she's the youngest.

My family lives into their 90s on both sides. To me after 50 is just the other half of life.

Ooooooh, that is such a great idea! Do you use them on beads? I'm seeing teeny butterfly stickers applied as resist to a white bead with purple enamel, then sandblasted.
Do you think stickers would stand up to sandblasting? I might have to try it.
After my father's father died, his oldest sister took care of their mother. Beste was 94, so Alma would have been in her 70s.

Woah - I had no idea you were that young, Helen! :D You're my little sis's age. :)
