The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance...I think it's nice to age gracefully. OK, you lose the youth...Always kiss your children goodnight...My mother had bought a sewing machine for me...Once I got my driver's license everybody treated...This is the way the world ends, not with a bang...
