"Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years.
We grow old by deserting our
ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

Obituary for the Pillsbury Dough
Boy
It is with the saddest heart I pass
on the following:
Please join me in remembering a great icon - the veteran Pillsbury spokesman. The
Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated
pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.
Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry
Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.
The gravesite was piled high with flours. As long-time friend, Aunt Jemima delivered the
eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.
Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He
was not considered a very "smart"cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked
schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he even still, as a crusty old man, was
considered a roll model for millions. Toward the end it was thought he would rise again,
but alas, he was no tart.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children, John Dough and Jane Dough;
plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about twenty minutes |

Happiness
Stop Acting Your Age
Our culture has an obsession with age. We keep track of the number of years we have lived
with zeal, and use it as an important definer of our identities.
I've heard all kinds of ridiculous comments about age, ranging from "Oh, I'm in my
40's now, I can't _______ (fill in the blank)" or "I'm 25 and I still haven't
met the woman of my dreams!." As if these numbers are cut-off lines, that we can't
fall in love or go bungee jumping after a certain age.
We're all guilty of these types of generalizations (about ourselves and others); we make
major decisions based on how many times we've blown out the candles on a cake. We decide
not to go back to school because we think we're too old, we rush into getting married
(maybe to the wrong person) because we're scared to wait a few years, we even dress a
certain way based on the date on our birth certificate. (A friend of mine recently
hesitated to buy a "cool" dress simply because she is now a 30-year-old mother.
As if she is any different as a person than she was when she was 29 and childless!)
 Unfortunately, when we let our age dictate our lives we miss out on a lot of
opportunities and do things even when our heart isn't in it. All for a preconception that
is completely dependant on our culture and time in history. For example, a woman of 18
only 100 years ago was considered an old maid, a poor soul likely doomed to a life of
loneliness and poverty.
Whether or not you think you have any biases regarding age, it might be a good idea to
question your beliefs. Do you let age sway your decisions and actions? Do you let
society's "rules" about age dictate your life? Maybe it's time to stop acting
your age, and start acting the way you feel.
Oh, and if you feel old, maybe you should work on your mind-set!

GREAT TRUTHS
ABOUT LIFE THAT
ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge... mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
 4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the joy.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD:
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once
got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the
questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes
alone.
THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.
SUCCESS:
 At age 4 success is... not peeing in your pants.
At age 12 success is... having friends.
At age 16 success is... having a drivers license.
At age 20 success is... having sex.
At age 35 success is... having money.
At age 50 success is... having money.
At age 60 success is... having sex.
At age 70 success is... having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is... having friends.
At age 80 success is... not peeing in your pants.
