Ok, I have come to the conclusion that there will be no serious dating for me until I am 40. I know that is incredibly sad, but good men are an endangered species and I cannot find one who is able/willing to deal with my family.

If they don't have children they want one.
If they do have children they are not involved.
If they can handle my family life, they want the Dad to disappear and there is usually something else wrong with them.

My standards are just too high, I guess. I keep my dating away from my children but then its every other weekend.

LOL

Well. "I'm" not one of the ladies....but I can attest the fact that there is life after 40! And yep...sure AM...one of the hard to find Good men.

There's an old saying goes:
"Baby, if aint no one tooting your horn, guess who's turn it is?". LOL

I'm 45 (for a little while longer), raising my youngest daughter who will be 15 in January. As she gets a little bit older (or possibly 18 and off to college) is when I hope to be looking at seriously dating again to find someone to spend my golden years with.
BTW even at this ripe old age, yes there is plenty of life left after 40

So does that mean I am going to die next july when I turn 50??? Oh well, it is what it is, I definatly made it through all of the 40's. And there is definatly life out there at these ages.

geesh, don't wait too long, you may not have enough life elsewhere LOL

sorry

hhehehe

Oh MY!!!!Oh MY!!!!

There better be life after 40. I'm not 40 yet however... I'm getting pretty close.

Part of me wants life RIGHT NOW!!!! though the schedule with work and my boys makes it creatively tricky....

S I G H .........

im half way there...wait alittle past half way but i hope there is life after 40

Life after 40 still seems to center on the kids. It seems as I get older and my daughter gets older and more involved in school activities she comes first. I guess I will have to wait for about 3 years until she can drive herself around. At least I will be still in my prime of 44...hahaha

Hey, last week they showed this guy on London tv who was training for a marathon.
His age is.........101!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No kidding.

He looked more like a sprightly 70-year-old.

Who said age is just a number.........?!!

In fact, it is such a great story, I just had to copy and paste it!!

I’M RUNNING MARATHON AT AGE OF 101

EXCLUSIVE Buster’s record bid

By Daniel Thomas

Plucky Buster Martin is taking time out from work to train for the London Marathon - aged 101.

The dad of 17 is determined to become the oldest man to complete the gruelling 26.2-mile run.

War veteran Buster, who plays in a rock band when he’s not at work cleaning vans, said: “It’s about time someone my age did the marathon. It will be a record, though I’m not doing it for that. I just want to show that old people can do things.”

He added modestly: “I would like to be able to do it in three-and-a-half hours - but then I don’t run as fast as I used to.”

Buster, who completed the 10km Great London Run in 2hrs 22mins this June, will prepare for next April’s marathon by running near his home in Vauxhall, south London.

He vowed: “Every Saturday and Sunday morning I will be up at 5.30am to jog.

“You have got to keep your knees from freezing up - and a couple of pints to grease them up could be called for.”

He will be running to raise money for the Rhys Daniels Trust, which provides a “home from home” for parents of children having treatment for life-threatening illnesses.

Great-grandfather Buster’s geriatric band The Zimmers - combined age of over 3,000 years - reached No28 in the singles chart in May with a cover of The Who’s My Generation. Buster, who puts his long life down to a daily pint of bitter and “good red meat” rather than cheese or fish, started work in London’s markets when he was 10.

He was in the Army during the Second World War, rising to regimental sergeant major.

Buster’s wife of 35 years, Irana, died in 1955.

He worked in the markets until he was 97. Buster got bored with retirement and landed a job cleaning plumbers’ vans three times a week.

He said: “I will only give up when they put me in a wooden box.”

Charlie Mullins, boss of Pimlico Plumbers, said: “Buster is a great asset to the company and everyone looks up to him.”
