The joy of aging

According to the BBC, scientists in the UK are looking for postmenopausal women to eat a chocolate bar a day for one year.  Reuters says this is a tough job, but in the name of science.

Can I see a show of hands?

The downside?  You also must be a type 2 diabetic.

Arghh

According to two local TV stations, KSAT and WOAI, an elderly lady was hit by a pick up truck while crossing a busy street last night.  The driver sped away, then ditched the truck at a nearby service station before running away.  The elderly lady died later at the hospital during surgery.

My sympathy and prayers go to those who knew and loved her.

She was 68.

Elderly?  Elderly!  Puh-LEEZ.  And what-EV-er.

Too old for chicken feathers?

Elton John is on Larry King right now (I think a rerun from Oscar week).  He says he will be 61 next month and is too old for chicken feathers.

A sobering thought.

60 is the new 40?

If 60 is the new 40, does that mean hot flashes return at 70?

Lovely.
