You've come a long way, babee; metaphoric diamonds to you!

My thoughts on the second photo: whyizzit that wimmin who look younger than their age seem to be the least likely to want to lie about it?

Time wore on, but it seemed

Time wore on, but it seemed to have little effect on Mr. Baggins. At ninety he was much the same as at fifty. At ninety-nine they began to call him well-preserved, but unchanged would have been nearer the mark. There were some that shook their heads and thought this was too much of a good thing; it seemed unfair that anyone should possess (apparently) perpetual youth as well as (reputedly) inexhaustible wealth.

'It will have to be paid for,' they said. 'It isn't natural, and trouble will come of it!'

The 'look' reminded me of

The 'look' reminded me of Ramona's Voices 'feel' and it was my way of telling you that you don't even 'look' 70. I would say your young at heart, but truth is it takes many decades to achieve the capacity to care as much as you.

Stilli, 60 is the new 30.

Yeah, but being a doctor, you couldn't read it.

You mean you're not synchronous living in Synchro City? Not to worry - levels out sooner than you think. And 48? Pshaw, that's almost late these days. The things we don't talk about...

Happy Birthday, Ramona! I

Happy Birthday, Ramona! I just hit 60 not long ago and was whining and sniveling! You give me hope that I still have a lot of living to do. Hope you are having a great birthday full of all that makes you happy!

And, yeah, I'm pretty sure 75 is the new middle-aged, or at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Aw, Synch, this too shall

Aw, Synch, this too shall pass. Believe me. Wanna know the secret to staying younger looking in old age? A long, long, long menopause.

Sorry, but it's true. But that gives you something to hang onto when you're wiping the sweat away and fighting to keep from killing someone. Ha ha.

So you're telling me it really is the half-way mark? Could you put that in writing?
