Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for March 16, 2023

i guess it’s the feminine counterpart of “crisis”?

This could be Aunty Acid’s Theme Song, ”I Don’t Care”

(Words by Jean Lenox, Music by Harry O. Sutton)

“Vaudeville star Eva Tanguay became closely identified with this rowdy song, which became her personal trademark hit in the early 1900s. It was later performed by Judy Garland in MGM’s In the Good Old Summertime (1949) and by Mitzi Gaynor (portraying Tanguay) in The I Don’t Care Girl (1953).”

.

I don’t care, I don’t care, What they may think of me.

I’m happy go lucky, Men say I am plucky, So jolly and care free.

I don’t care, I don’t care, If I do get the mean and stony stare.

If I’m never successful, It won’t be distressful, ‘Cos I don’t care…”

They do tend to get a little loose around then.

My life stage is I’m too tired.

Hitting late 50’s is not mid life old lady.

The does come a point in your life where you don’t need affirmation from other people to feel good about yourself.

It happens gradually over time as we mature.

Some people never get there and some still are as needy as infants when it comes to needing constant affirmation of their self worth.

My give-a-$hit meter is reading 0

DGAF stage.

Wrong finger, Aunty… ☺

I’ve made it to the ‘whatever’ stage.

Is 72 too late for a midlife crisis? “Asking for a friend.”
