| Agree, and agree | Jul 18, 2002 |
I agree with William, and I agree with Yuri.
William: you say taht people like Aurora is a gift to the world. Yes, she is, and we have the great gift of her daily reflexiones, wich I really love.
And Yuri... I am still laughing.... and trying to have money.
| | | | | ES-TU-PEN-DO | Jul 18, 2002 |
pero... ¿Porqué yo me siento igual? (aquellos que conocen mi edad entenderán la broma) 
Respecto a algunos comentarios que he leido en este topic, solo diré que el concepto \"envejecer con dignidad\" ha cobrado un nuevo sentido para mi, ya sé como no quiero envejecer.
Besos a montones guapa.

| Love your postings | Jul 19, 2002 |
Hi Aurora,
Don\'t let some of these infantile comments get to you! As always, I enjoyed your posting and I immediately copied this one to send it off to my mother (60 by now), who will definitely enjoy this immensely, contrary to some \'old goats\'... 
Keep on writing!
You spread words of humanity around the entire world!
Warmest regards
Anneken

Cada día me esfuerzo un poquito más para ser como tú, querida amiga virtual. Espero que lo haya logrado para mi 40 cumpleaños (dentro de 8 añitos; ya salió! LOL)
Muy bueno éste! Y, de paso, el otro sobre el humor también. Difruté a lo lindo! (Mi ordenador va a explotar por tu culpa, por todo lo que voy guardando...)

| Since we talk about age...I want to be older and WISER as to not to insult for the heck of it | Jul 19, 2002 |
Being Old Has Its Advantages
No more face lifts and tummy-tucks...just have somebody pull a handful, wad it all in a
bunch behind your back, and tie it off.
Forget driving...at 100+ you\'ve been everywhere, anyway.
At 100, you can insult whoever you want because nobody wants to yell at your for fear
they\'ll give you a heart attack. Never do this with your nurses, however... (No le grites Aurora..déjala ![]() ... See more Being Old Has Its Advantages

Pretend you can\'t hear and make your visitors scream at the top of their lungs as they describe the weather outside. Watch for others\' reactions.
Make blatantly obscene come-ons to younger members of the opposite sex...they\'ll just
smile awkwardly and dismiss it as senility anyway.
Describe your sponge bath in perfect detail and watch for reactions.
When the art teacher tries to make \"dough-art\" crafts with you, immediately consume the
dough.
Remember, the food on the tray next to you is just as good - if not better - than your
own.
Nurses\' lounges are known for the best lunches and snacks in town. Approach with stealth during bath and recreation time. Forget about napkins...especially with the BBQ rib dinners.
Mumble unintelligible ramblings and stare into space. When the activities director hands you a crayola and paper, write this on it: \"get me some cake\". It usually works the first time only.
Always go to the activities classes...especially if you like cookies and bananas. Remember: a full glass of punch, well placed in elbow\'s reach, can bring excitement to any dull gathering.
Watch the faces of visitors who have to push the wheelchair of a person with a catheter
bag...especially when they accidently kick the bag!
For the young and young-at-heart:...find a convalescent hospital in your area. There will be at LEAST one person who has no family, no friends, no visitors. A visit for even 15 minutes a week will bring a spot of daylight in a very dark, dismal world.

\"OLD\" IS WHEN..... Por hacerte la cirugía por enésima vez ya no podés pestañar de tan tirantes que te quedaron los párpados inferiores, los pómulos te quedaron más arriba de donde la naturaleza te los puso y la sonrisita esa que tenés es realmente artificial porque tampoco podés cerrar los labios después de haber mandado tanta grasa sobrante para atrás de las orejas hasta que te quedaron dos matambres arrollados detrás de cada una.
\"OLD\" IS WHEN..... Por hacerte todas... See more \"OLD\" IS WHEN..... Por hacerte la cirugía por enésima vez ya no podés pestañar de tan tirantes que te quedaron los párpados inferiores, los pómulos te quedaron más arriba de donde la naturaleza te los puso y la sonrisita esa que tenés es realmente artificial porque tampoco podés cerrar los labios después de haber mandado tanta grasa sobrante para atrás de las orejas hasta que te quedaron dos matambres arrollados detrás de cada una.
\"OLD\" IS WHEN..... Por hacerte todas esas cirujías en la jeta no te alcanzó la plata como para disimular un cacho y hacerte la cirugía del cuello, que comparándolo con la parte estirada parece uno de tortuga o un papiro egipcio.
\"OLD\" IS WHEN..... No podés llevarte la mano a la cara porque no sólo seguramente esté en el mismo estado que tu cuello, sino también porque debe tener una colección de manchas café con leche que no son precisamente pecas
heredadas de tu abuela.
\"OLD\" IS WHEN..... Las hormonas te hacen cambiar tanto el estado de ánimo que un día dices algo haciéndote la buenita y al otro día ya te olvidaste de que querías ser buenita y otra vez arremetes con tu lengua ponzoñosa que por lo visto con los años (y otras yerbas) se transforma en bífida.
Me han enviado esto y me ha parecido maravilloso.
Como pueden ver, todo depende del cristal con el que se miren las cosas.
Ojalá que yo no llegue a viejo con mala onda...

Y no creo que esto sea un problema de nacionalidad, ni que el hecho de ser de un lugar o de otro tenga nada que ver con el asunto. No saquemos \"los pies del tiesto\".
Atentamente,

Aging is mandatory, growing up is optional. Let those who feel aged before their time replace their pics here. You are doing well, hon, so far you can make fun of the situation. Goooosh, you\'re soooo goddamn young!!! (all the compliments are only YOURS)

Nice thread, folks, I am closing it only because there were a few inappropriate comments and I don\'t want to give things a chance to snowball.
I have written to the offending parties offline.
As always, when a thread is closed, please do not carry discussion over into new threads. Thanks.
