For all my myLot friends - I would like to share some advice that some of my friends on myLot told me about. I thought I'd share it with you, since it can really multiply your earnings on myLot. I have been informed that, when you post/reply to discussions, if you write at least six lines, you will be paid a higher amount for that, than if you were to just write one or two lines. If you can keep your sentences short, then six lines is not a lot ! So friends, try to keep this advice in mind for your future discussions and the money start to add up quicker than it was before.

George Carlin on aging

    I got this forward made me realise how true it is as we tend to forget the little things in life. We tend to take everything for granted and forget to enjoy each and every day as it comes along. I think the underlying message at least what I derived from it was that we should enjoy and cherish each day as it comes along without needlessly rushing blindly through the day. Yes, one must remember to stop and smell the flowers and admire the wonders that life offers to us each and every day. I hope you all enjoy this article as much as I did. Thanks for stopping by.



    Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.



    'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.



    You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.



    'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!



    But then you turn 30. Ooooh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?



    You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.



    But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!



    So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.



    You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!



    You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST92.'



    Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'

    May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!



    HOW TO STAY YOUNG

    1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.'

    2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

    3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

    4. Enjoy the simple things.

    5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

    6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

    7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

    8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.


    9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.


    10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.


    AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:


    Life is not measured by the number of


    breaths we take, but by the moments that Take your breath away.



    In Memory of George Carlin!
