Where can I find a widely-distributed internet letter about getting older?

Question

You've probably received one. It says how we are all getting older compared to the new generation. It goes on to say that the new generations have never lived in a world without AIDS, never sang "We Are the World," etc. I'm curious about this. Does it have a particular name? Its history, etc. Anything you can contribute. Thank you.

Answer 1

Getting old isn't Bad--just inconvenient.

Why does my body keep getting older than my thoughts.

I no longer spring because I might get sprung.

You know your really old when you don't look at a woman's body because you're not sure if you can get your head back up.

You know you're old when you collect Old Time Radio programs because you miss big Band music and lyrics you can understand.

You know you are old when you think STD stands for Sunday Tea Date.

Answer 2

I saw something about aging recently. I don't think it is what you are looking for, but you may enjoy reading it anyway.

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 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 80's 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 90's, 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 make it to a healthy 100 and a half!

I do remember reading that, but I don't believe it had a specific title. Is that a sign of getting older? ;-)
