Hi All...there's a lot of interest in aging lately on CC, thought you all would enjoy this:
George Carlin's Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old
is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited
about aging that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a
half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key
You get into your teens; now they can't hold you back. You jump to the
next number, or even a few ahead.
"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're
gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life .. . . you become
21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like
bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're
just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the
brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and
your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a
day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch;
you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the
90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a
little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
FYI, I hit 70 this year and my mother "was just 92!" Janice
This is cute & so true. I am 35. going to be 36 in Feb. Each year goes by so fast....
Whos George Carlin? 
George Carlin does make me laugh.
Phylis Diller known for having had lots of cosmetic surgery was asked by an interviewer what her age was. She said
"Different parts of me are different ages"
In seeing all the beautiful young showgirls on the Dean Martin show she asked one how old she was, the young woman said 22. Phylis snarled
"I have cookie sheets older than that!"
Monica0271, George Carlin is basically a stand-up comedian, been around for a long time. His presentation is generally really foul-mouthed, but very funny and looks at things honestly, at least from his viewpoint.
You could probably get more info in a Google search if you wanted to. Janice
Oh ok Janice thanks. I think I know who he is I just can not picture him.
OK, I have to disagree with him, I didn't "reach" 50 this month....... It Hit me smack in the face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know what you mean, my first born child (son) turned fifty last year. How did that happen? I don't feel any older. 
He is just too funny! I'm at my "sell by" date, but haven't "turned" yet
