1. Speaking as a woman over 50, the 'over 40' bonus continues on

...the bonus that you say what you feel and don't worry what others think. My favorite part. The rest sucks. I keep adding on portable body parts . . . glasses, teeth . . .can't get used to it . . . too much to pack up and put together to go to work!

2. Ouch!

I'm 46, and already most of that list applies to me.

In my defense, I lived real fast and real hard up until age 35.

3. Early 50s here. Many are true, but # 09 is decidedly false,

except for the part about the glasses. :D
