You’re Getting Old – A Cloudeight Site Pick!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n No one over 40 likes to be reminded that they\u2019re getting old. For instance, let\u2019s take EB as an example of youth gone wrong.\u00a0<\/span>I happen to know that she\u2019s taken (as of this second) 516 million breaths of air, her cold heart has beaten over 2.3 billion times, and she\u2019s seen the moon circle the Earth more than 800 times! In short, she\u2019s old. Let\u2019s just call a spade, a spade. She\u2019s OLD OLD OLD!<\/span><\/p>\n My dear departed dad would always respond to the question, \u201cHow are you doing\u201d by saying \u201cI\u2019m still above ground and that sure beats the alternative.\u201d And he<\/span><\/em>\u00a0was old when he said that.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n EB is so old in fact, that —<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n April 26th, 1986: A catastrophic nuclear accident occurs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine – she was already “middle-aged” back then!<\/span><\/p>\n She was 17 when Bobby Fischer defeated Boris Spassky in a chess match in Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland.<\/span><\/p>\n She was 20 when the war in Vietnam ended.<\/span><\/p>\n She was 24 when then-president Jimmy Carter was attacked by a swamp rabbit while fishing in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. I mention this because EB is a Southern girl.<\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019re probably thinking I spent a great deal of time looking up all this stuff about EB. But it only took a few seconds to dig into the past and dredge up all kinds of fun goodies that just lets you know just how old that woman is!<\/span><\/p>\n By now you\u2019re probably puffing out your cheeks, getting ready to explode into a frenzy of expletives, and contemplating closing your browser in disgust because you think I\u2019m ranting and raving just to tell you how really OLD EB is\u2014 but of course, you\u2019d be wrong. <\/span><\/p>\n Like I do at least half of the time, I do have a point, but you know how I love to build up suspense before I get to it. I like the hissing sounds you make while you read my wanderings wondering if I even have a point… and if I do, am I ever going to get to it? <\/span><\/p>\n And don’t have a hissy-fit! I am only kidding about EB. She’s younger than me, I am loathed to say.<\/span><\/p>\n OK, so you pressured me into it. I do have a point and here it is (really!). <\/span><\/p>\n The point is that there is a really interesting site where you can type in your date of birth and get a list of interesting facts about your age \u2013 and more importantly \u2013 remind you just how old you really are. While it may make you wince to see how many days old you are, how many breaths you\u2019ve taken, how many miles you\u2019ve traveled, and how many times the moon has circled the earth since you took your first breath, you will also learn some of the historical events that have happened LONG lifetime, and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n Gleefully you’ll be able to run a report on your friends, especially those who are older than you \u2014 if there are any \u2014 and send them a link to their \u201cage report\u201d just to remind them how really old they are and don’t forget to point out that they are older than you.<\/span><\/p>\n The site is called “You\u2019re Getting Old<\/a>” and you can learn some really interesting facts about your age and the events that have happened since you first gasped the air on this earth. And you will be reminded over and over and over again just how old you really are.
