Saw this on another board I frequent.........LOVE IT!!!


Since many of my friends are turning 30 this year, I just received this forward and thought I'd share!

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! 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.

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.

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.

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.

Apparently it's a new trend here. See below! (Spuds) Single Person Urban Dwelling and FreeMales!

I don't think I like it....Not sure if I'd encourage it!

The lyrics to a song I once heard was:

Thrity is not the new twenty, it is the same old thirty. :D

=P Age with grace.

Love it winney! ;)


Pssst! I'll tell ya'll a secret, since I've already lived through the big 3-0.

Wanna know how I felt the day after my 30 birthday?
Exactly the same as I felt the day before my 30 birthday.

30 is pretty cool, actually. People (meaning our parents and their counterparts!) finally start to grudgingly accept the fact of your adulthood. Although I still have to rub my mom's nose in it a little, from time to time, or she snaps back into 1994 mode. I suspect that will be the case whether I'm 30, or 40 or 85 3/4. If my mom is alive, she'll probably always have spells where she'll try to treat me like I'm 17 & stupid again. *sigh*

But, being a grownup rocks! :D

I'm great win, thanks. :) How're you doing?

Been busy raising my kiddo and conducting normal daily life. No one tells you how intensive the first few years of parenthood are. It's like, you bring them home from the hospital, and then you wake up the very next morning and they're already 2 1/2 and demanding juice and Cheerios with perfect enunciation and syntax. The time just gets away from you before you know what's happened.

But I hope to be emerging somewhat from the intensive period. He plays well on his own and can entertain himself for fairly long stretches of time now. Maybe I can get my bootay back on the boards. ;)

Doing very very well, thanks!

I've been married for a little over 6 months now :D I've finally got a good job, where I'm actually needed and appreciated (and recently got a raise just because they wanted to reward my hard work). :D

Just enjoying the "stillness" of life--was so hectic over the past few years between my now-husband recovering from all of his injuries and then changing jobs (both of us) and wedding planning.

Nice to not have anything to do or plan or whatever. Except, my husband was laid off about a month ago, so that's the only excitement right now. Not too worried about it, though. No plans for kiddos in the immediate future, or a house. Right now, I'm all about making sure my marriage is strong and we both stay healthy. That's it.

I'm not on here too much these days, but I pop in now & then ;) Glad to hear you're doing well and that Little Man isn't so little anymore!
