Obviously, if you don’t want to reveal your age, don’t.
Also, only tell your own age, not of another Jelly, of whom you know it.
I was listening to something about music media in America in the late forties and that made me wonder if there would be Jellies that lived through that era.
I didn’t, I’m 52.

Well, I would never ask a lady her age & would hope she didn’t mind me saying so, but I’d have to assume it was Yarnlady.
I’m 53 by the way.
Who won & more intriguingly…how?
So far, Lucille ‘won’, since she’s the oldest responder.
My plan is to announce a winner every time a Jelly tops her age.
No prizes are awarded though. ~
:::Cheesy line klaxon:::
I think the real winner here is lucy’s husband.
You may vomit any time you wish :D
@ucme —I won’t argue with that lol—
65, kids, but I know of a few older than me.
Never thought I’d make it…
I am 64, but I know of older jellies, one I have met face to face has a couple years on me.
I’ll be 73 later this year.
However, if Bill1939 isn’t yet 80, it’s reasonable to conclude that he will be later this year. He last posted about 3 weeks ago, so I’d consider him to be active.
IIRC, he attended the 1963 March on Washington, so major props to him if he did. But it might have been Pachy who Marched.
Thank you Brian…you’ve got me beat in a contest that I didn’t want to win!!!
You’re welcome and best of all- I’m NOT the winner!

@lucillelucillelucille
If your maiden name was Buttafuoco, would you propose to your husband ASAP, just so you could expedite the name change?
If his last name was Buttafuoco, what would you do?
I wonder what the youngest age of an active jelly is, responders must reply in crayon.
To muggles I am 42. To the rest I am over 20,000 years old.
Back end of my 40’s here, so neither. Dreading a colonoscopy and menopause lol.
@ucme I am 18, will be 19 in December. I know many people who are younger tend not to stay so I don’t know if I count lol
@Jonsblond -I am more than familiar with that skit.LOL!
Mally Shonnan kicks air ass in that skit! ^
From my septuagenarian perspective, people in their 40’s are indistinguishable from high-schoolers. ;-p
@KNOWITALL there is nothing to fear from the colonoscopy. I refer you to this
expert testimony.
The menopause thing though, that’s a thrill ride that doesn’t end for years. I hit mine right when my daughter hit puberty. Satan grabbed cookies and koolaid to sit back and watch us like tv. I don’t know how my thermostat survived the abuse, her cold, me hot. The cupboards were a store of craving snacks and low fat microwave meals.
It’s the mammogram that you will hate. Your knees want to buckle but you don’t dare budge. Bring tissues, your eyes will water. It is hard to imagine the phrase aging gracefully with the right one pinched between glass plates.
@PattyMelt Did the mammogram twice already, I hate it but it’s doable. If I am ass up on a table, that’s where I get a little iffy, and I hate hospitals. I have to find a doc that will do it at the office…lol
Yeah, I’m already mercurial, I can’t imagine on menopause….haha!
@lucille I was just watching an episode that had Sally and she pulled her pants up to reveal her camel toe. She called it her half-century lady hole. :D
I’m 48, but I feel 90. Does that count?
Just turned 48. Let the mid-life crisis begin.
@cookieman Are you in the market for a cougar (well, pussycat really)?
@cookieman I think that’s a real thing, even for women…lol

“IIRC, he attended the 1963 March on Washington, so major props to him if he did. But it might have been Pachy who Marched.”
I was half wrong- it was Pachy who Marched on Wash.
@janbb & @KNOWITALL: It’s interesting that it’s called “mid-life” as, starting at 45, that’s optimistic at best. I’m fairly sure I won’t be around at 96.
@cookieman Someone I know had his midlife crisis at 60; I hope that doesn’t mean he’ll live to 120!
Then again, midlife crises are not an official thing (in that they can’t be diagnosed, and they’re not covered in the DSM V, as far as I know).
I was told I had a midlife crisis, aged 31…
I was ‘just’ depressed and confused (in hindsight).
@KNOWITALL Having not been slapped by menopause before your late 40’s, you don’t yet understand how BLESSED you have been!!! Maybe you’ll be one of those lucky ones who NEVER goes through it…my wish for you!!!

@rebbel My family doesn’t believe in mid-life crises. The males going through it call it womenopause. One uncle even swore that he was having hot flashes with his.
It is not the same for every woman. I’m thinking that never having children might make it less traumatic.
I feel mine was made extra rough living was daughter who was experiencing puberty at the same time.
Our daily routine for over a year.
I never had a baby & I went through it for almost 10 years. I was single at the time & I had a fight with myself every day. The hot flashes were all consuming. I’d be freezing one second & hugging a fan the next because I was sweating so bad. My Mom never went through it, or so she claimed. I remember at least 5 years where she was a raving lunatic screaming one second & crying the next. She may not have had some of the physical symptoms, but she did exhibit the emotional signs.
I still think that KNOW is blessed to have not had to go through it!!!
My brother lived in a house where he was the ONLY male. His wife was going through menopause whlie his daughter was hitting puberty & their dog was going into heat. He said he couldn’t look at anyone without being yelled at because ALL the females in his home were bitchy!!! He used to crack me up with some of the stories he told of surviving those years.
