I thought everyone would enjoy this..I know i did!


In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40:

"As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.


Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!"

Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

Sometimes, he is a 'typical' guy. Other times he amazes me by saying something that makes me smile. Thanks for the post. I will spend the day feeling appreciated!

AMEN SISTER!!! lol..

I LOVE BEING IN MY 40's (almost 50) heehee.....I hope the 50's ARE EVEN BETTER!

YEAH BABY!!

This was good. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for posting that! Among my many blessings are a number of people who DO appreciate me, wrinkles and all. One or 2 even think I'm HOT! Gotta love that... at ANY age.

Yes, Julie -- the 50s are even better! Honest they are!

Love to ALL you mature beauties out there!

Judy

Well I couldn't agree more!!

I have loved my forties and am looking forward to my fifties, which are approaching fast (believe it or not)

sounds like me.......... YIKES!

So funny Smiles, thanks!!!

Oh that Andy . . .

Wish Andy Griffith said it instead LOL

Mickee,
I am lovin' your Maxine. She is one of my favorites. I had a friend (just passed away before Christmas) who looked just like Maxine. She was a sweetie and, even though Maxine isn't very positive, I think of Joan every time I see her. I get a Maxine calendar every year because I like her so much. I have a Maxine saved on my computer at home that I've been thinking about putting on my siggy. May have to take a look at her when I get home.

Hey, Julie S: I'm turning 50 this month, and I PLAN to make my fifties better than any decade yet!

Thank you for posting this. I'd grown so fed up with Andy lately--just "an old crank," but this restores him in my eyes! Hahaha.

Even my husband loved this.

Isn't it nice to be appreciated?

Great post; thank you!

I must admit, I've been looking a little too closely in the mirror lately (I'm 47) at the newly wrinkled neck, which I think is more from the WLS than anything else. Why am I doing that?

My kids think I'm cool; my husband thinks I'm hot. Actually, that's pretty funny, isn't it?

Have a great weekend everyone,

Thanks for sharing....that was good.

Haaa. Thanks for sharing that. Hugs.
