Comment from BethShelby

Excellent

I see this is one I've already read and I'm pretty sure that won't let it count again. We're all a little older than when you posted it the first time but you just keep looking younger.

Can you do me a favor, I have a short poem with 25 reviews. I need one more before it exprires to get ins to the "Best of" It won the contest but I'd love to have the 26 review rating. The votings is over so it shouldn't matter if I ask "November Adventure."

You do have a way with words. I'm with Diane. I'm sure you are admired and envied by all of us older girls. I haven't been told I am beautiful lately. I'm just thrilled to be lied to and told I don't look my age. LOL

Thanks for stopping by! Who knows--by now Diane may have caved in--haven't seen her lately. Cheers. LIZ (Your picture looks your age twenty years ago!)

Mother was an artist. She said there are two places on all women that show their age, and there is nothing you can do about it except cover them up.. They are your neck and hands.

Well as they say [whoever they are] age is just a number. I enjoyed reading your article. You told it well. It is direct and pertinent. I like the way you concluded this with Diane thoughts. I don't believe you have anything to worry about from your profile picture. I like the italicized words for emphasis. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Thanks for stopping by Jan. Not sure if Diane is still a hold-out--haven't seen her lately. Cheers. LIZ

So true our ourselves you speak honestly. As for Diane she's who she is and that's quite okay. I think it's absolutely amazing how you have chosen your words that speak to us boldly and sincerely at the same time. Keep on writing. I enjoyed this very much. Good job!

Thank you, Tammy. Sorry for the delay--I'm working backwards through five days' worth of "fan mail." I'm pleased at the bonus, certainly (may come in handy to offset a "revenge review"!); much more so I am pleased that you liked the piece. I will indeed keep on writing--meantime, I'm posting my huge backlog, presently spewing at the (max allowed) rate of two postings per day. Cheers. LIZ

Hi Elizabeth,

I love your tongue-in-cheek discussion on the aging process. You are clever and cute. You have shown both sides of the enhancing the appearance/disappearance dilemma for those of us still around to age.

I'm right in there with you, and do try to dress to take attention off the wrinkles and other sags. I mean, if you can wear clothes that look nice, they might not notice, right?

Thanks for sharing your delightful piece.
Have a great week,
Rhonda

Wow, you?re a busy little beaver. I get that way sometimes, but it?s been awhile. Have fun with it!
