2. It's some sort of punishment

When my brother (two years older than me) was dying of cancer, people told me it must be terrible to be losing my kid brother.

4. Paul Newman stayed young by soaking his face in ice cold water 2 minutes each morning.

Also by having great genes. You look at your typical 50 year old Inuit and you see that's no panacea.

5. Depends

It's mostly down to genes, but if you have a little meat on your bones, wrinkles don't show very easily. I've noticed, too, that there are two ways your face will turn when you start putting on the years--jowls (and accompanying wrinkles), or chipmunk face. The jowls show mostly on people who have long, opal shaped faces, or heart=shaped faces, while the chipmunk face is usually found on rounder faces, square-jawed, ones.

It's not a perfect accessment of the facts, but it's better than most. You might also look to your grandparents and how their faces have looked. You are likely going to get your facial shape from them.

7. The really scarey part is that my grandparents all are long dead. I am

already older than my mom, one grandfather and 3 of my 4 uncles ever got to be.
In my family they either die before 60 or live to be 90+ - nothing in the middle.

My dad is 93, still hanging out.

6. Y'know, a few years ago where I worked, they finally put up a big wall of photos

of folk who worked there, with names, so y'know people could learn the names. And I'd walk by regularly a check out a few of photos each time: OK, I know that person's name; OK, I've met that person but can't remember the name; and so on. A project to learn who's who, y'know

So one day, I've gotten about half way through the wall, and I stop dead cuz there's this guy I don't remember seeing at all, and I'm thinking Who is that old fart?

So I take a good hard look

It was me

8. Cause everyone else was smart enough to not put "old" on our names.
