I wouldn't know.
I did reach a stage (am still in it) where I didn't care less - and embarrassed (and still am embarassing) my (adult) children - but I call that just desserts - and my grandchildren couldn't care less - granny skipping along the street is fun!!
If that's a mid-life crisis - then I embrace it!!! LOL

'course they're real, Muffy

Here's a symptom or two..

- when your cd collection only has a couple of cds which were recorded in the last decade ; and one of them is Robbie William's Greatest Hits

- when you haven't a clue how to tweet

- when you start every second sentence with "I remember when..."

- when you can't actually remember when

Is the 'knee problem' a mid-life crisis, or just a case of getting older?

The "knee problem" is neither a "mid-life crisis", or "just a case of getting older" it's a joint issue!

I'm off to bed and taking my 'mid-life crisis' with me. It'll be there again tomorrow when I try and get out of bed! (Actually, it can't be mid-life, unless I'm going to live to 124!)
