Whilst many of us are hard of hearing we also have fading eyesight and to make it worse a degree of ignorance or we don’t wanna know. CAPS MIGHT WORK BUT MAYBE ONLY IF ITALICS WOULD ALSO HELP.

So if you just "turned 30" you're not entering your 30th year, but just finished it. So maybe it wasn't so wrong of us to round up after all! Exactly! I’ve always thought in terms of the year you are within. Although the number gets more painful to consider the older one gets Then there’s the time worn notion that you are only as old as you feel and that fits Janice perfectly. She looks and acts decades younger. A super positive attitude will take you a long ways! Bud Absolutely! I fully agree. I remember growing up my neighbor was a bright ray of sunshine. She was 99 and still travelling and enjoying life until the very last moment. She was like a grandmother to me, and I was always in awe of her! Even when she got sick with cancer and beat it, she was always smiling and so positive even when we visited her in the hospital. She only passed away a few years ago, but she was the perfect role model in every way. She had the best and brightest laugh of anyone I've ever met! She never let anything keep her down, and she was the epitome of "forever young". Because of it, I definitely think she lead a full and happy life with no regrets! Cheers, Ember

At 80 she showed up to take my daughters to the water park in 80 degree weather .. and returned 3 hours later with a smile on her face. I told the wife 'I hope I live long enough to pull that off'. Since I have yet to enjoy grand children, I doubt I'll ever be able to take my great grand kids anywhere Some women are amazing I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
