For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 29, 2013

Wait until you hit 50, Elly. That’s when you’ll really start asking, “Who is that old woman in the mirror staring at me — and how did she get in there?”

Hence the billions of dollar profit annually cosmetics and cosmeceuttical industries. People get older, and no amount of Noxema or special “anti-aging” cream or serum is about to change that, no matter what you spend on it. Besides, who’s looking for a 20 year old face on a 60 year old body? And for all you FBOFW militant feminists, that applies equally to both sexes.

But when’s the last time you saw skin care products for men? Shaving products don’t count.

SPOILER ALERT!! I bet this is where she is pregnant with April!!

I’m almost 50 (turning 49 next week) and I still don’t have lines around my eyes…and really don’t care if I do or don’t.

“Next time leave a place we can go to instead of this. We can’t read it all because of the ads. Better to delete it and try again”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I noticed that, too. Very annoying. Couldn’t find a way to move it out of the way in order to read the punch line.

So don’t go there.

Ru’afo’s got just the thing for ya, kid!

olcan be beautiful also if you don’t have any regrets

For those like me whose advertising on the right covered up the strip that howtheduck shared, go to Lynn’s website (use the link on the right), click on the “archives” tab and type “brackets” into the “search by keyword” box.

Just right click on the image and select view image. Worked for me. :)

Sigh. I feel this way too sometimes. Then I think I’m still pretty young and think of my parents (mom is nearing 70, dad already is). Don’t feel too much older then. :)

I would’ve let them figure it out themselves(even though I told them what they could do to see it). :P

It would be nice to actually see the strip. Half a dozen hits on the refresh button and still nothing.

I laughed when I first saw this many years ago. it is still funny…and I still got older! thanks for showing this again Lynn. Still love it. Time marches on!

I still don’t really worry (even tho’ I’ll be 76 tomorrow). I’d like if my hair were thicker (all pinned back here)

Beautiful!!!
