@marjou- Good morning. I remember the 70's. I did both in the 70's- Married and had a son and was involved in the women's movement. I thought that it was an incredible time, exciting, and energizing. All of my friends were in the same boat that I was too so it made it a very special time. I just wish that I had been less naive.

How young people perceive us is a laughable offense if it weren't so sad. The perception that time and activities stop when you get to a certain age by society is pathetic. I'm sure that age labeling goes on for many economic reasons but it is damaging to the ego! There are a lot of youtube videos that deal with fashion and makeup for older women but not many discussions, if any, about all of the activities that we still do, including dating and having sex, and lifting weights!

When my mom was in the hospital for Parkinson's she had a fever and when the doctor mentioned it she said, "well doc I'm not dead yet!"
