I believe that after your 50th birthday, we are granted a unique power-both a blessing and a curse! You become for all practical purposes, invisible. People do not hear you, or appear not to listen, with you having no impact whatsoever on the conversation. They do not notice when you enter a room, or for that matter when you leave one either. They speak of you in past tense, as in "I remember when whoseits did this", or"Whatsits said that".
However, it appears to be a temporary malady, as when you hit about 65, you become visible again! People start giving you the finger while driving 35mph in a 55mph zone. They start getting pissed at you in line at McDonalds' during rush hour when you want your coffee punch card updated. They start being nice to you 'cause you ain't going to live forever, and might leave something of value to them!
I'm still invisible yet, so like in every stage of life I've had, I'm going to try and keep learning!
Sit on a Happy Face!

My father has a blog. What's that noise? That clopping? Oh, yes, it's the sound of the four horsemen.
Fools! You let me live!! Buahahah!!
Without knowing it, this was written to and about ME! I had become part of the invisible group at the age of 65, hence my blog, "Love for Home". I now voice my opinions and I have an audience!
This is one of those things that you say..."Gosh, wish I had written that!"
Excellent. Solution? Every time you enter a room shout 'ta da! Here I am!' You'll go straight to the front of the queue.
Cheers
I guess based on what follows the invisible years, I'd be content where you're at. ;)
I thought I was following you but maybe you were just in my blog roll. Well, I am now!
