I’m NOT posting ‘before and after’ pix of myself - from a Hottie at 18 to a Heifer at 62, LOL!
People get old...if they’re lucky! And so much of this is genetics. One of my best friends is in her mid-70’s and she can still pass for 40.
It ain’t fair, I tells ya!
However, as much as Hollywood disgusts me, I’d never be mean to someone just for AGING.
For being a jerk? Sure. ;)
LOL.
True ... that ... especially one gets old if one is blessed.
In last few years there are articles out their that genetics might be only 10%, 20% tops related to aging problems/challenges. Life style choices over a lifetime are being looked at as the major factor. But even that isn’t full proof.
True Dat! Mother Nature gives and Father Time takes away.

I was at a birthday party last weekend for a lady who just turned 80... keeps herself in topnotch shape and could pass for a very fit (and beautiful) 50 year old.
One lady who I greatly admired was Harriette Thompson of North Carolina... a concert pianist and cancer survivor who started running marathons at the age of 76. Here’s a picture of her at 91 in 2014 at race... cancer came back and she died at 94.
