Very true! I'm likely to be 95 and still wearing bright shades of lipstick! lol But hey, why not? Just because you get old on the outside doesn't mean your spirit does too. Great observational work! ~

Following Bri’s advice is not wise From your friends you may be ostracize He is wallowing in sin The same place that I am in Where the aged tries to womanize Thanks Mj
