OOOPS! Best do a bit of grovelling here then.

Forget the fruit and dessert thing SWL, I wouldn't fancy you in anyway no matter what kind of condiments and delicacies you enveloped yourself in. I would never wear pink and I think your husband is the best bloke on earth and he deserves you, and if you ever go grey you must leave him, but not before finding him a younger and more blonderer replacement for yourself.

Sneaks away looking for some single and poor grey haired crone dressed in a beige cardy who pees down the sink.

PS Thanks for the warning Crabby (Do you think that I saved it?)

Coops.

By the way, wrinkles don't bother me an iota. Too much laugher, sunshine and plentiful years. I am either inwardly or outwardly denying my age. 52 and loving it

. That label of "crone" only produces a grin. If this is crone age then bring it on LOL.

Colour has a huge impact on our lives though. I have never had a bad day wearing pink, you blokes should try it some time

. I wouldn't be caught dead in brown, maroon, mustard and olive. Don't see why I should put up with wearing scrappy grey at the edges when I have a choice

I agree, the wrinkles don't bother me for the same reasons, but color does (also) have a big impact on me! IMO, olive does suit me well -- blond, olive completion, green eyes. My favorite colors are orange and purple, but I like yellow and pink too. Most that know me are surprised that I like/wear yellow and pink -- I don't know why since I wear them a lot.

On the wrinkles part, like you Lassie, I'm not showing my age as much. It will eventually catch up with me, but I will wear each one proudly as it will tell the story of me -- but I might still be blond

Didn't think Lassies liked to discuss their age let alone splash it all over the world internet.

That 52 reveal means the crone tag needs to be retracted as you are clearly in the prime/plateau of life. Freed now from child caring/raising, work and harassing the navigation threads, sailing the seven seas, definitely not crone.

Quite a way to go to reach the crone phase.

Many of us guys like factory original equipment on our women. Not just the hair. All of it. Just saying.

Quite right. That 3 stages of women is old hat now that we all live so long. I wish I'd thought about that more critically. Maybe it's more like four stages:

Girls
Gals
Goddesses*
Grande Dames

*Coops- watch and learn

Little Grasshopper to master, you wise beyond your ears. Between them however, is much mushyness and fawning.

So sure, he's clever ... he has time to lounge around in pubs all day and think stuff up. On that note, the funniest thing I have read on CF, bar none, was that chart DOJ created to "help" Boaty find Upside Down Land. I don't think stuff gets much better than that! Cheers Dave!

Partly right

.

Oh, and I am intending to send that Chart off to Navionics - as part of their Crowd Sourcing efforts. Either that or launch my own range of charts.........

Well, I am certainly well cared-for in the strawberries and cream department

.

I must say I pull my weight otherwise. Lassies don't like to be totally dependent on any man

Goddess fits much better than Crone.

Yeah, I am thinking so too.

**carstenb** · 25-02-2013, 21:43

Women are always goddesses. Ever since I discovered that there IS a difference between boys and girls (delectable difference, wrapped in strawberries and cream or not), they have, every single one been grecian goddesses
