Tonight I was asked by a relative to be in her third wedding. I'm thrilled for her and want her to be happy. But I was in her previous two weddings. I'm tired of being in weddings. I'm almost 50 years old (but don't look it - ROFL) and don't WANT to be in any more weddings.

When I started to try to gracefully decline I got the wide eyed hurtful stare. Sigh. So I guess I'll just start saving for the out of town trip and the dress.

OK, enough whining. Thanks for listening.

Maybe the third time will be the charm? My friends all run off and get married so I don't even get to attend!

Whirlwind, maybe you can talk her into doing the Vegas wedding thingy and eloping. Personally, I think people that get married more than once shouldn't have big doings, just get married quietly. I hate feeling like I have to do something, especially when it seems to be like a never ending open pit....

That's a good question. How do you gracefully bow out of a family wedding invitation? Dont' you have some kind of an honest excuse?

Whirlwind, of course you don't look almost 50. No boomers look their age!

Daisy, I keep hearing that and I believe it wholeheartedly. Of course I'm not 50 yet, so I wouldn't know...teehee. I guess that makes me 28. Hmmm, I have to think about that one!

I don't know how to change the HEADER so I'll just tell you what I'm looking for....

I am the host of a radio internet program called WHATEVER! The show is based around the book I wrote: WHATEVER! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age. You can hear it on Success-TALK or go to my website.

Next week the topic will be: Intimacy at Middle Age. Is it still good...worse...or you could do without. What men need/what women want.

July 24 topic: Internet dating
July 31 topic: Does size really matter? (Can PLUS SIZE women find true love and happiness)
If you care to chime in on the subject, please feel free to do so here or send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE...I'm not using names on this one because the responses so far have been very personal but wonderful information that the ladies don't mind sharing with others.

I hope to hear from some of you.

Peace & Blessings,
Beverly Mahone
