    I think the more you try to stop aging the worse it gets. Slow down and enjoy life, That is what it is all about.

    well Ashton is regressing in age. he's become a child again in everything he does these days. Poor Demi needs to get a grip and go on with her life. i wish her luck. she was a strong lady, hopefully she will get that back.

    I don't think it's just a Hollywood thing. I know lots of ordinary people who struggle with aging. It's just that you don't see those folks on TV, so they're not targets. We each draw our own personal line in the sand when it comes to aging, how we feel about it and what we will or won't do about it. Personally, I treasure every single birthday. Not everyone makes it even this far, so to me, aging is a gift and a blessing.

    I loved Kathryn Hepburn! She was such a beautiful, strong woman.

    I'll be 60 in July and don't mind at all. It beats the alternative of being dead!

    I have that some problem. some old lady keeps hogging my mirror so I can't see myself! Where did she come from?

    It is sad that there is an idea out there that only young is desireable. Who really didn't know that if you live, you get older? Duh!

    Shows that success, fame, and money doesn't mean you will be happy - of course the money would make happy in the lqs!!!!!!
