Catherine Bach has traded her daisy dukes for a pair of Jessica Simpson mom jeans. The 55-year-old former "Dukes of Hazzard" star filled up her tank in L.A. yesterday.
Daisy Duke's got gas, y'all.
She got relieved of her duties on the Fox and Friends Weekend crew but has appeared from time to time to sit in for Gretchen during the week :)
There are many times when I wish I had my current knowledge base in a 20 year old body.
She’s got a big caboose!
LOL
beneath my protective gel coating are abs of steel. ;o)
Bertha. hm. Wasn’t there a song about Bertha and her rather large caboose?
LOL!!
Me too!
Must be jelly cuz jam don’t shake like dat!
;0)
I turned 51 a few weeks ago and I must admit I've fattened up since I was 29. I'm still 30 lb. below where I was at 20, but I think the distribution was better then.
I understand where you are coming from.
For me, it was the knees that gave out.
;o(
Um.
I think so..
Bertha Butt?
My mom laughs some times when she’s having a hard time (like can’t get the pickle jar open) and says “Oh to be 80 again!”
For a Rock n Roller he knows how to play Bach...Barbara that is!
They met on the movie set of Caveman, 1981 and she Atouk to him! (PTP)
“Not me. I take pride in my appearance and health. I run ten miles a week, play tennis and watch what I eat.
What’s the excuse for the other sixty-five percent of Ameircans?”
Try Menopause, 6 pregnancies, cooking three meals a day for decades to feed people (yes, we still have family dinner every night), and just plain age.
BTW, I’m wayyy over 60 and found out that while women may gain weight in their 40s to 60s, it all comes off after Menopause.
Now, what’s the men’s excuse? I’d have loved to be able to run and play tennis, but unfortuantely, I ran a household, and worked some decades.
Frankly, if more people worried about their character, and lack of charity, sense of overweening pride, and just plain cussedness in general and less about how they or anyone else looked, we might have nicer world.
*Not saying I’m describing you, just the world in general.
I hope I live long enough to say that!
*crossing fingers*
;0)
“My mom laughs some times when she’s having a hard time (like can’t get the pickle jar open) and says “Oh to be 80 again!”
I’m not there, yet, but I still have to discover exactly how the driveway manages to come up and slap me in the face occasionally.
*I am certainly not having dizzy spells! What do think I am? A drunkard?
As opposed to another judgmental idiot?
“Now wait just a dad-gum minute here. Don’t you think it’s a bit presumptuous to paint us FR posters as a bunch of 50+ year old belly-ballooned, scraggley haired guys strutting in speedos? How the heck would you have the faintest idea of what those on the other side of that keyboard look li...
OH CRAP! I LEFT MY WEB-CAM ON AGAIN! click”
Those are speedos? They sure look like briefs to me! ( -;
and I thought I could never be hypnotized.....
>> Those are speedos? They sure look like briefs to me!
Good eyes. Dang... you gotta get up pretty early in the afternoon to put one over on ol Opus...
Having to make meals for ten other people is the worst part, for me. I’d rather read, sew, or go to church than eat, but all these other people expect food all the time, and they get desperately whiny if it’s not meat, starch, and large quantities.
Being physically attractive - by the arbitrary standards of the day, whatever they are - is not a virtue, and getting old, or being overweight, is not a vice. Gluttony may indeed be a sin, but so is vanity. A lack of care for one’s health is not good, but neither is obsessive concern with measurements, musculature, or athletic competitiveness.
We’re all worm food, in the end.
As Opus said, this is philosophizing, not an aversion to sensible diet or exercise. I run and swim, when I’m not pregnant, and it makes me feel good and enjoy a sense of accomplishment. I go to Weight Watchers, too, when I’m not pregnant, and I mention often in meetings that physical health, including healthy weight is *a good*, but it’s not “the good.” “The good” is a Christlike life.
There are no “mean lines” on Catherine Bach’s face, and I’ll bet she looks great when she’s fixed up, all 55 years and size 14 figure.
