How not to act old

I was at the library yesterday flipping through some recent magazines. The 'Real Simple' magazine had an article by author Anne Roiphe that spoke to me. It said that her late husband made her feel beautiful despite her age and the touching reasons why. It turns out she has a new book called 'Epilogue - a memoir' and here is a great review by the NY Times.

On the lighter side, the September 2009 issue of 'More Magazine' has a funny article with tips on 'How not to Act Old' and the author Pamela Redmond Satran has a book and several websites for you to check out like this , her blog. There is also an ebook format.

I've added Mashable to my bloglist because I just learned it's where you go for the latest in social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) news. It publishes breaking web news. Well, it can't hurt to follow it for awhile.

Oh dear! I'm a hopeless case. I eat dinner at 5:00 because my mother insists on it. She's 80. I can't stop e-mailing and on and on.

OMG I certainly needed to read all those News links!!

I have only JUST learnt not to leave voice messages.
Didn't realise that pot was now called weed!!!
Poor old Bruce....I still like his music.
I have never Twittered so I can't make a fool of myself over there.
And I make sure I am invisible when I am on Facebook so I can stalk to my hearts content.

Excellent post Christine...excellent.

Cheers
