When Did It Happen?

It's time to join the blue rinse set, move to Florida, buy polyester pant suits, develop a whole arsenal of physical complaints to out talk my neighbours with, get crafty in the arts centre with macrame and popsicle sticks, learn to love riding smelly old buses to bingo, flirt with dirty old men and make them trip over their walkers, and wear sensible shoes with lifts.
I was just sitting in the loo and happened to glance down and see these words woven into the waistband of my (horrors) COTTON underwear:
"Fruit of the Loom"
*sigh*
Has it happened to you yet? Will you handle it gracefully or just give up and join the blue rinse set? Shall I save a place at the communal dinner table in Florida for you?

Tie all you're tighty whities together and loop them over a tree branch and ..... nevermind. We need you here until your fingers drop off and you keel over from natural causes!

Do I need a parachute or will my big wheels bounce me safely to earth? LOL

ROFL. It happened to me a long time ago.
My dear, you still have so many years to go before you reach that point that if you save a spot at that dinner table for me and others my age, you will be dining with ghosts. But I will save a spot for you if you're still coming.

Save me a spot, because I just checked my underwear drawer and it is FULL of Fruit of the Looms! *sigh*

Hello spark!:-)
Hehe! I love tags sometimes. There was no way I could understand what you are talking about if I hadn't looked the tags and then read the comments! So, they aren't that bad, eh?
Though I am not as such there, but I have always felt myself more comfortable with a bit more mature people. Others from among my family and friends have also commented many times since my late teen that I behave much older than I am. So, perhaps, virtually I am there.
I do have 5 or 6 grey hairs over/near my left ear but they are there for more than 5 years now. And, I don't think I'll be there ever, since I have this weird conviction that I'll not be here long after I am 45 if I ever get there in first place! I hope my conviction is right! :-)

Kamran, of course you will be here after you're 45! I wonder where you got the notion that you wouldn't be. Just take my word for it, ok? You'll live to be old, and still gorgeous, too. And if you DO get any more gray, it'll just make you look more handsome. Gray hair generally does that for men, especially dark men like yourself. Hey, I just remembered you saying that you had recently shaved your very long mustache. Was there any gray in it? I'm glad you shaved it, btw, I'm sure that any facial hair would simply hide your rugged good looks, and we don't want that!

Ayup, hubby has a full beard and mustache, and it does quite nicely, thank you.
And Kamran, she's right, we WON'T let you go, nope, not ever!

Lmao! I have some very nice fruit of the loom cotton underwear... high cut bikini (or is it french cut briefs?). Either way... NOT the "granny style" of underwear.
I will never go with a blue rinse. I'm too chicken. I can't even handle the thought of coloured streaks in my hair now (grey excluded... thank goodness they still blend in with my blonde! lmao!).
I could do with a trip to Florida though. I would like to learn how to play golf, and visit Mickey and Minnie. But that's ONLY if I can leave the kids behind.

They come in high cut? I'm saved, I'm saved, because truth be told, I rather like the feel of cotton! LOL
And yes, leave the kids behind and I'll introduce you personally to Mickey and Minnies Mouse. They're my parents.

I should hope you already know you need a chair next to you for me.
Screw lace, silk, satin and butt floss. I prefer to sit comfortably in my cotton undies. I don't care if they aren't slippery smooth to the touch. They also don't crawl up my rump like my intestines suddenly got hungry and decided to see what my panties taste like. I am 35 and a proud owner and wearer of cotton panties!

I have many pairs of cotton undies. most are bikini cut, but I do have a few cotton string bikinis, and even a cotton thong or two. As for the blue rinse -- I'm not quite ready for that yet, although if I dug out some curlers I could probably pull of the hair-do to go with it.

Curlers? OMG what memories that brings back!
See, this is why old ladies have hair dressers now! LOL

I'm well on my way!
I'm 50 yrs old but have been pretty gray for years. I was blessed with both parents that grayed very early and I started graying in my late 20s. Thanks Mom & Dad!
The physical maladies are creeping up, to be sure and I always have to wear sensible shoes because of a severely high arch and instep.
As for the popsicle sticks, I've been saving those for a while too (although mine are being used as plant markers).
Come on, join the bandwagon. Getting old isn't all that bad!
(Oh, and granny underwear are cheaper than thongs).

When I was a teen I got a yeast infection from flowery polyester panties. I've been wearing cotton briefs ever since for every day wear and I really do love the feel of cotton. It just came as a shock to look down and see 'fruit of the loom' woven in the band. I thought - "Oh God, not even Hanes Her Way or something sexy, just plain OLD fruit of the loom!" It was disheartening to say the least!*sigh*

I don't like this at all. I will try to escape myself from that instance before I am engulfed.
