mid-life crisis and smart women!


After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, honey,40 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old gal. Now I have a $500,000.00 home, a $45,000.00 car, nice big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 65-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25-year-old gal, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve your mid-life crisis!

well, interesting.
since you have left no way to identify your self let me make an observation. I don't do this for anyone else, I do it for me. and when I started a year ago, I knew nothing.
now I have a better handle on things and I am not giving my best stuff to other people, my blog reflects that.
if u ever feel like coming out from anonymity, you and I can talk about my blog more.
thanks for the comment!
