Straits in my Face

Yes, sadly. But not my face, in my neck. It's beginning to look kind of wrinkly and a little saggy. My face is okay, so far. :-) But I don't like the neck thing. I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. I'm 64. My elbows got kind of wrinkly a few years ago. I had never noticed until one day I was trying to look at my back in a mirror and I noticed my elbows. Imagine my shock when I realized they were starting to look like my mother's! I guess it happens to the best of us. Sigh.

I've got crows feet, laugh lines, worry lines.. the usual. No straits yet.

I never heard them called that. I don't have any straits anywhere on my body....yeh right. Can't we find a fun word to call them, like smiley noodles, or pretty little river beds?

hi AntiqueLady saw the words straits on my face and lo I ha d to read this. oddly for an 85 year old woman I just have two fro wn lines in my forehead which irk me as even when I am smiling people will say" are you alright?" but i have fine wrinkles on the inner parts of my arms. sob sob.I lavish body lotion on them at night but fear its a lost cause bu t my skin is very dry and the lotion smells so good. lol but like one woman said in my writing class "sure I have wrinkles and I earned them so what?" I think the main reasons I do not have any straits i mean wrinkles in my face is its still pretty plump but congratulate me I was called down to weigh and I have lost ten pounds,.I weighed 210and now am 195 oh my I actually lost fifteen pounds. so glad I plan on getting to 150 in time.The more I can lose the better I can control my blood sugar too. happy my lotting.

that means you are worrying too much and stop frowning for petty issues.and be happy and keep a smiling face to get a clear chin

Whether we like it or not if God allows us to live longer we come to that situation when we have also some straits in our face. Right now I feel I have it already and I'm thanking God of the gift of my life and all the graces and blessings I am enjoying right now. Not all would come to an age, so i must take care of it and be ready when time comes when I''l be home to Him.

That is funny. No, I do not seem to have wrinkles, I wish I had some laugh lines as those are pleasant to me. I do have lots of gray hair, hidden of course by henna at this time.

yup but they really aint strait lol

Awwww your young son was a good observer. Not many kids are. Most don't care about the elderly or older folks and just rather play with their toys. As you asked, yes I do see a few lines forming on my face but as others say, they're laughing lines so in saying that, I don't mind having them so much. The part I don't like is the aches and pains that goes along with age. (lol)

Nope no wrinkles in my face yet i am only in my 20's but i'm sure in 5 or 10 years i'll start seeing some. Atleast he didn't say anything to bad about why he thinks she is old, everyone gets wrinkles at some point in their life old or young it's just a habit of nature.

Thankfully , no not yet. Then again I'm only 55 years old so I hope I have at least another 20 years before I see that happening. I remember a co-worker/friend years ago would come in with a one wrinkle on one side of her face. She said it was from sleeping on the sheets. Now this was back when I was in my twentys. From that day forward I always sleep with my hand under the side of my face. All to prevent a wrinkle happening. It seems to have worked because I don't even have crows feet by my eyes.

That was a funny choice of word to describe wrinkles. I have few crow's feet and am hoping the resr wouldn't show up until i reach 80!

Well this thing of wrinkles and weak skin is quite an obvious case as the age grows. It is only through others that we start realizing that we are actually growing older with age. What say?

That's cute/funny story. I do not see such straits in my face. And having one is okay. Whether we like it or not we will have such.

Straits in my face; bags under my eyes;sagging jowls, veins that stand out on my arms and hands. We won't talk about that little pot belly that I can't get rid of, even though my weight is down to what I weighed in high school. When my brothers were small, they were convinced that our grandmother had worms. They were sure because "you can see them through the skin on the backs of her hands".

I never knew ths word! But yes, since my surgery I have noticed a lot of straights in my face and brown spots too. Yukky! however, it does show the fact that yes, I am old but I have also expwrienced many things and this now shows in my face.My neck is okay bun the face is beginning to look so old.

Dearest Jo, I always say that God, in His infinite wisdom, gives us wrinkles when our eyes can´t see much. This bigmama has been getting old for a long time now. I hope I can achive some wisdom besides the wrinkles and the white hair.

One way to prevent straits in a face is to sleep at your back flat against the bed. Since your face is not pressed to the pillow,lines do not form.

No wrinkles yet, I have not even turned 20 so you can actually call me a little kid comparing me to the more older and wiser members :) Getting wrinkles is natural, and all get them some time in their life. In my opinion they are not that bad, and they shouldn't be covered up, becouse they are natural, and nature should stay as our motherearth created it.
