Going through meanypause?

edited February 9 in Chit-Chat
I'm just not feeling like myself lately. At first I wanted to blame the Christmas season, you know, the holidays, for making me feel so cheerful. But then I realized that I haven't had any consistent periods...of snark or sarcasm in months. I have flashes from time to time that make me feel sickly sweet, and I can't even think an evil thought.

And then I started wondering about my age. I'm 43 now. Is my clock ticking? Will I start voting progressive democrat soon? Am I going to start getting cravings for grandkids? What is the matter with me?

I think I might be suffering from meanypause. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I even accidentally accepted a friend request a few days ago. Didn't even think, didn't check to see if she was hot and had noodz. I just clicked accept. Who does that?

Has anyone else been through this? Does it go away? What can I do to get my old self back?

    Quick! Go out and purchase a top of the line, luxury model convertable. Make sure if you have gray hair, you quickly "Just for Men" that business! Proceed to chase really attractive young women, that are half your age and will have no idea what happened in the 80's (This means you can tell them anything, like..."I invented the first cell phone"..and they won't know you didn't) They also won't know any of your favorite bands unless they happen to play Guitar Hero. I've heard this will eventually get the need for grandkids out of your system as you will feel like you have been dating one.

    I really hope this helps! :wink: :laugh:

    How nice are you feeling? Do you feel like donating to PETA or Green Peace? Is that bank account feeling a little heavy? :devil:

    There are definitely some on MFP who are! I'm happy to see some fun threads today. If you can't tell a joke in the Chit-Chat, Fun, and Games board, then where can you tell it?

    Kind of sucks...you aren't yet senile so you can't yet just say whatever you want and chock it up to old age, but you are too old enough to now hit the clubs without being considered the old creepy guy....yeah, pretty much sounds like you are screwed. Could always just go hang out at the VFWs, or American Legions....those might work. Call bingo for all the really old people...so you can be eye candy for at least some of the population. :laugh:

    How about I just let myself go a bit so I retain my edge. Maybe like The Rock.
