Older Women in Society: Is 50 the New 30?

I'm over the hill and it's hard swallowing that pill. My buddy Char-lee said the new 50 is 20 years younger. According to whom? According to the census on American health and welfare? So there's a new guideline in town that dictates what our ‘true' ages are - like the money guidelines that check for inflation? So now my age is inflated, much like those college degrees no doubt. The ones everyone's burying themselves in debt over.

Who or what rose from the dead to create an age Zhar? Was it the Bush administration trying to live forever in our minds if not in our policies. The American public has become nothing more than tinker toys for these boys. I don't think women would put the future of social security at such risk. I mean all us single aging women have left to call our own is our social security. If they take that away we'll have nothing. Many gals of my generation won't be collecting widow benefits. And we certainlly can't go out and stand on the corner and think we can compete with those young tarts in thongs and such. But then on the other hand there are an increasing number of younger men pursuing older women. But let's face it; some of those older women gots buckaroos. Ain't nobody marrying for love in that camp...maybe for lust but not for love. Well maybe for love of money.
