For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 29, 2010

Every now and then, they say the right thing. :)

Smile lines are becoming, frown lines on the other hand are not. So keep smiling everyone!

I have reached the age that I realize I relate to the parents in movies and TV shows more than I do the kids. THAT makes me feel old!

Growing old is not so hot but look at the alternative…

Ellie still hasn’t figured out the secret to looking young: don’t widen your eyes! She looks much younger when her eyes are just dots.

That was sweet, Michael. It should buy you some “get out of jail free” cards.

If she were to stop stressing out, yelling at her kids and husband, maybe she wouldn’t have so many lines…

Oh, yes she would. It’s the cartoonist’s fault! LOL

What happened? The Chinese spammers decided to take a day off? I’m shocked.

WORDMAN33: Isn’t that just the God’s honest truth?!?!?

Elly should be more like me: I don’t see the wrinkles, laugh/frown lines, etc., as much as I could because I try to spend as little time as possible in front of the mirror obsessing over that stuff … otherwise, I’d be just as depressed at growing older as Elly is!!!

Hey GretchensMom I hear you Mama. Me too!

Keep smiling, especially while you’re young. For when you are older, that etched-in smile (or smirk?) will make people wonder what you’ve been up to - “and at your age, of all things!”

If she thinks she looks old now, she should check out last year’s comics. :-P

BTW, I was wrong about the reruns. They’re awesome.

I like my age. My granddaughter told me, “I like to hug you Memere, you’re so soft.”

i like MY age too (and it’s a good thing, considering the amount of choice i have in the matter).

And how old is she supposed to be here – maybe 25 - 30 – ripe old age indeed!!

I’ll handle aging the most graceful way I can-when I start losing my hair, I’m having my head shaved and drawing a blue arrow on it.
