ELDER HOSTILE

  a truly edifying & a  "Who knew?"  column from the Guardian, curated by your ed. A moment that changed me: I found my first grey pubic hair While women in their 50s are dismissed as hags, bags or crones, men get to be silver foxes. Suddenly I realised why women try so hard to fend off signs of ageing Kathy Lette Wed 23 Apr 2025 01.55 EDT A  grey pube. There was no denying it. If I hadn’t been contorted into what felt like an advanced yoga position trying to do up fiddly press studs on the crotch of the teddy I was wearing to a party, I would never have seen it. The party was for a novel I had written titled How to Kill Your Husband, and the theme was “dress to kill”. I had planned on wearing stockings, a miniskirt, a garter belt with dagger, and the ridiculous teddy undergarment that you clearly needed an engineering degree to operate.

 Roz Chast --------------------------------------------------------------- a very  HOPPY STORY  for Easter 🐰🐰🐰🐰 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ (special advice column contribution) How to Be a Happy 85-Year-Old (Like Me) April 13, 2025, By Roger Rosenblatt & Tommy Shelby Mr. Rosenblatt is the author of “Rules for Aging.” Tommy Shelby is a complex dude in Pinky Blinders. Roger: In 2000, I published a book called “Rules for Aging,” a sort of how-to guide for navigating the later years of one’s life.

Rather than a conscience, he has the habit of displacement. It is not that he is ripping people off. Everyone else is ripping him off...
