Smile Anyone over 30???

A little something my sister sent me (bless her!) Enjoy!


How true.....


For those who are not 30 yet - you've got something to look forward to.

THIS HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY A MAN.

This is for all you girls 30 years and over.... and for those who are turning 30, and for those who are scared of moving into their 30's...AND for guys who are scared of girls over 30!!!!...

This was written by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes.

Andy Rooney says:

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting.

A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom.

Few women past the age of 30 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends.

A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women.

Women over 30 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 30. They always know.

A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women.

Women over 30 have more tricks up their sleeve in bed.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.

HAVE A GOOD DAY !!

It misses a couple of things
1 - Women over 30 are better cooks as they have learnt from their mistakes
2- Women over 30 are better at ironing as they have had more practice
3 - Women over 30 are better at doing the washing as they have had more practice

Excuse me, I am over 40. I am not nice and sweet one minute then piggin irrational the next And I really really really object to the idea that over 30 is an "older" woman. ***** off. Going by the longevity of my family both male and female, I am not yet middle aged and inside I am only 17 - there is just this strange outside bit that doesn't belong.

Rant over, hot flush finished

As one who will be 43 tomorrow and spent a little time recently mulling over life in general, given our move to Sydney in the last year and all the changes and dramas that brought with it.

I can say that I am happier in my own skin than I have ever been, although must I admit all these celebrities who never age are a bit galling, and that life is pretty good.

So bring it on is what I say,

Love the sentiment - but slightly depressed to be referred to as an 'older woman' - hell who am I kidding, my 20 year old step daughter makes me feel like that every day.

But then again I am so pleased that i dont have to get bits pierced or tattooed to keep up with friends, pretend to like certain music or football or dress like a slapper in order to impress a lad.

H'ray for 30 something and not giving a monkeys!!!
