I noticed with my mum and Monster-in-Law
that once they hit about mid-40's they seemed to start hanging out in groups of similarly aged women. I call them the Middle-Aged Lesbian Set.
EDIT: Think Towns Women Guild, CWA, Bridge Club and Wed. morning coffee club meetings. It can be quite un-nerving when you come across more than about 4-5 of them in 1 group.

By that stage many of them have been thru at least 1 major relationship breakdown so even tho they might not actually be munching rug they mostly all hate men or at least one particular man. Strange how we all seem to get tarred by the same brush tho...

They all have reached the point in their careers where they aren't really going to advance that much any more. Which can leave them feeling a tad bitter if they haven't assailed the glass ceiling in quite the way that they wanted to.

Their kids are mostly grown ups so they don't have to be the vigilant nurturer that they might have been when their children were young. Some of them are even grandparents and often the dote on and spoil their grandchildren far more than they ever did their own kids.
And supposedly they are in their prime.

Owing to some *ahem* biological changes they also have all turned into absolute bitches. To a woman.

So there's all of that to look forward to for teh laydeez.

Homophobia and a fear of adult women. How unsurprising.

Wow. Only 11 minutes.
That's fast even for you and l33t typing speeds.

Interestingly and on a complete tangent you and janet seem to get up early and post around the same times fairly regularly.
God, I hope I was off the mark.

No, just one.
You have to learn to properly focus your eyes, son. Didn't you ever wonder why they did everything in perfect sync?

Has to be twins.
There's no way you've dragged yourself away from here being all angry and arrogant to have had another crack.
