    you see more candles than cake
    the smoke alarms go off when the candles are lit
    the firemen arrive after your cake is lit
    everyone is taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation
    your walls and ceiling have smoke damage
    your insurance won't cover the damage
    your insurance offers you the senior discount

      You know you're old when you meet a kid in his or her thirties that was born the same year you graduated high school.

      When I was younger I could fall down flat and jump right back up.  Now if I fall down it takes me like five minutes to get back up.

      Sorry to interrupt this banter with seriousness, but all this talk is "graveyard humor" to make us feel better about something that we've all been programed to think is normal. As long as we do, we re-enforce a program in our marvelous and powerful mind that has terrible effects. Top aging researchers are saying that aging is a disease, and we can cure it. I suggest we not play around with fire. What if we can really reverse the aging process and grow younger?

        Aging I believe is a natural process which we can never stop..but we can DELAY which requires a lot of work, thats why we have a lot of anti-aging products and operation are like mushrooms nowadays..promising youth but whatever we do we  cannot really stop it, it will come day by day...we just have to learn how to age gracefully... :-)

      Maudine...That's what we've been conditioned to believe and so that's what we create. As her therapist, I helped a woman heal herself of terminal cancer by finding in her mind a powerful ability that knew that she was killing herself subconsciously by shutting down her immune system. Our mind is extremely rich and powerful but neutral. We must be its master or it will master us. My point is that we don't know, at this point, what we are capable of doing with the aging process. At the very least, we can slow it down significantly by replacing the old programs, like "senior citizen." with new ones like "60 is the new 40." I have always refused senior citizen discounts for just that reason. Take them and your subconscious will make sure you become one and quickly.   I personally find it much more exciting to find ways to grow younger than to accept the "inevitable." In my book, that's aging gracefully with authentic power.
