YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know!

YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read ... Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

  1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10)

  1. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

  2. Add 5

  1. Multiply it by 50

  2. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757... If you haven't, add 1756.

  1. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number.

The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

Yep, it's all relative.

And I don't know how I got to be the age I am; last I knew, I was about ...

Hey, we could diet and get younger! Well, maybe the formula isn't that good. (:-<

You mean the idea about eating something like 1000 calories or less (or whatever ridiculously small amount it is) per day deal?!

Cathy, beware of what they say about aging.... "Life is like a roll of toilet paper... ....the closer to the end of it you get, the faster it seems to go!"

..........and you can take that to the bank. It's so true it's scary. I think of something I've done fairly recently (I think) like a memorable vacation, and when I date it, it was 2002 ! Fortunately, I thought myself to be immortal until a few years ago, so the inevitability of shuffling off hasn't bothered me....until lately. (Speaking of immortality, I have always loved the comment of William Saroyan, who in the last year of his life, said "I have always known that people got old and died, but I thought that in my case, an exception would be made.")

Haven't heard this particular saying, but it's spot on.

Yeah, I know. I first noticed it happening when I was 27 - and from that time, has kept speeding up. Rather backwards, IMO; when little, birthday to birthday, Xmas to Xmas, whatever... seems to take for-ev-er & you *want* the time to go by mnore quickly. But no, it drags. Later on, it zooms.

;-) He definitely had a point.

In which case you're only 3 years younger than I am. But after a while, every little bit helps, I know. ;-)

I keep telling people "10 days after next Chaunukah I'm going to be 84." But they don't get the joke.

In reality, I turn 50 this year and I've got competition over which party I'm going to and as what. Since there is a Halloween party on the same day as my birthday, I'm half tempted to go as a pregnant homecoming queen, since I went to that party as a cheerleader last year. Another party looks like it's going to be in Kentucky also a Halloween party, and I probably won't go to that one. There may be a party at work and my sister may also have a party.

So what happened to you:

"Any 20 year-old who isn't a liberal doesn't have a heart, and any 40 year-old who isn't a conservative doesn't have a brain." Winston Churchill.

So you're over 40 what happened to your brain?
