Oomps,

If its any comfort, my wife thinks all I'm going through a mid-life crisis and when its over I'm running back to the JWs...

And I hope I'm not at mid-life yet...

Yeah, my husband's boss bought a Corvette, then his brother did, then his cousin...

He also lost weight and started dressing snazy, modern hair cut. This won't work for you, but he and his wife have been doing alot together. They just became grandparents. They act like kids again! Of course, they got married at 16 and 18. But now they have the maturity and money to do the things they want.

Find something you like to do. Join a gym. Buy a motorcycle and go for long solitary drives.

loosie

Shoot Oompa. I don't know what to say. I thought a corvette cured every man. Things will get better. Keep hanging in there. Take up a new hobby. A young hobby. Don't start knitting or anything older related.

A young hobby

Now that would be stereotypical mid life crisis! Might get him in trouble with the wifie!

I understand and relate to your point about leaving the worldwide brotherhood.

I had to do it if I wanted to be free.

About being lied to all our lives. Thats a growing experience.

Everyone is getting lied to. The catholics, The evolutionist, The people of the United States etc, etc.

Michael Douglas made a movie called falling down.

He was upset about being lied to. Robert Duval told him they lie to everybody. They even lie to the fish.

Time is the great healer.

But the time doesnt start until you put the bottle down.

Put the plug in the jug.

Hell Oomps....Go get you a Macanudo and some nice scotch and kick back outside. Maybe even smoke a doob. That'll help you.

A red convertible 1975 Buick LeSabre.
Don't forget the perm.

Well, I haven't had mine yet, but my dad is another story.

He's now 59. But a couple of years ago, he bought himself a Red convertible T-Bird and joined a gym. He took a position with his job about 2 hours away from where he and my mom live, so he got an apartment there and was only coming home every couple of weeks. Then, (this is really weird to me) he decided that since he's in Florida and is always in shorts and at the gym, he shaves all visible body hair. His legs arms and chest are all bare.

I asked mom why he couldn't have just bought a hot sports car and been done with it, but whatever. I really thought he and mom were going to permanently split when he was working in Tampa, but whatever he was looking for he must have at least partially found it. He's back with mom. He's still squirrelly, but he's settled down some.

I'll just get an expensive hobby when I reach that point.

The reason I say all this is because attaching any unwanted feelings to the fact that we are a particular age is misleading. Some people expect to have problems at a certain age and magnify their difficulties due to their expectations.

I had no problem turning 30 or 40. I did not expect a midlife crisis as I had been brainwashed to believed men had them, not women. So I was quite sad and very shocked to find myself in the middle of one. It lasted three months. I believe everyone takes stock in the forties. And they just happend to come at midlife for most people. And hey, midlife can mean not a youth, not elderly, but somewhere in the middle.

I'm going to turn 50 next birthday. I don't expect to have a crisis.

Mid-life crisis experiences please.............
