How To Stay Young

My daughter sent me nine rules for staying young. She never was much good at timing.
These are supposed to have originated with comic George Carlin
so you may have already seen them. They sound pretty right to me.

1. Forget non-essential numbers like age, height and weight.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. Grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Never let your brain be idle.
4. Enjoy simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp.
6. Friends die. Grieve and get oiver it. The only person who is with you forever is you.
7. Surround yourself with what you love whether it is family, friends, pets, keepsakes, books, music, plants---whatever!
8. Don't take guilt trips. Refuse to feel guilty about anything.
9. Tell the people that you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

That ought to do it.

Weight is worth keeping an eye on.

A permanently cheerful friend can be more irritating than a perpetual grouche, give me a mix with a sense of humour.

Yep, yes, yes, yep, yes and yes.

No fucking way, that's hippy shit.

YOU tell my doctor that coffee, bourbon and 17 year old Japanese girls in bondage are the keys to keeping me young. She made me quit smoking and drinking coffee. I'm afraid to tell her about the bourbon and underaged Asian chicks.
