    Louise Neistat, a 92-year-old former Rockette, hasn’t let age get in the way of her passion for dance or her desire to help others, the Huffington Post says.

    A short YouTube documentary filmed by Neistat’s grandson, filmmaker Casey Neistat, tells the tale of the New London, Connecticut, woman who has been tapping for nearly 50 years and has turned it into a way to help fund cancer research. She teaches tap six days a week to 70 students in her attic-turned-dance studio. She gives the proceeds from her annual tap shows—more than $100,000 over the years—to the American Cancer Society.

    Neistat joined the Rockettes in 1941 and went on the road with the United Service Organization, which did shows for U.S. troops across the country. Her father died of cancer a month before her first show—a tragedy which “made her want to cure cancer with her dance,” says Casey Neistat.

    One day I had lunch with some friends. Jim, a short, balding golfer type about 80 years old, came along with them all in all, a pleasant bunch.

    When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups, except for Jim who said, "Ice Cream, please. Two scoops, chocolate.

    I wasn't sure my ears heard right, and the others were aghast. "Along with heated apple pie," Jim added, completely unabashed.

     We tried to act quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the time. But when our orders were brought out, I didn't enjoy mine. I couldn't take my eyes off Jim as his pie a-la-mode went down. The other guys couldn't believe it. They ate their lunches silently and grinned.
     
    The next time I went out to eat, I called and invited Jim. I lunched on white meat tuna. He ordered a parfait.
     I smiled. He asked if he amused me.
     
    I answered, "Yes, you do, but also you confuse me.
    How come you order rich desserts, while I feel I must be sensible?

    He laughed and said "I'm tasting all that is possible.

    I try to eat the food I need, and do the things I should. 
    But life's so short, my friend, I hate missing out on something good."
     
    This year I realized how old I was.
    (He grinned) I haven't been this old before."  
    "So, before I die,
    I've got to try those things that for years I had ignored.

     I haven't smelled all the flowers yet.
    There are too many trout streams I haven't fished.
    There's more fudge sundaes to wolf down and kites to be flown overhead.
    There are too many golf courses I haven't played.

    I've not laughed at all the jokes.
    I've missed a lot of sporting events and potato chips and cokes.

    I want to wade again in water and feel ocean spray on my face.
    I want to sit in a country church once more and thank God for His grace. 
     
     I want peanut butter every day spread on my morning toast.
    I want un-timed long distance calls to the folks I love the most.

     I haven't cried at all the movies yet, or walked in the morning rain.
    I need to feel wind on my face. I want to be in love again.
     
    So, if I choose to have dessert, instead of having dinner, then should I die before night fall,
    I'd say I died a winner, because I missed out on nothing.

    I filled my heart's desire.
    I had that final chocolate mousse before my life expired.."

    With that, I called the waitress over.. "I've changed my mind, "
    I said. "I want what he is having, only add some more whipped cream!"

    This is my gift to you - We need an annual Friends Day!
    If you get this twice, then you have more than one friend. Live well, love much & laugh often - Be happy.

    Remember that while money talks, CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SINGS!

    Pumpkin, Morgan Arabian Horse, Age 28

    "Photographer Isa Leshko is traveling to sanctuaries across the country to photograph animals that are elderly or at the end stage of their lives. “I began the series as a means of exploring my feelings about my mother’s decline due to Alzheimer’s Disease,” she says. “As I’ve worked on this project, though, I’ve come to realize that these images are a testament to survival and endurance. And they raise questions about what it means to be elderly.”
    Currently based in Houston, TX, Leshko is relocating to Philadelphia, PA in May 2011. Her work is represented by the Corden|Potts Gallery in San Francisco, CA, the John Cleary Gallery in Houston, TX and the Richard Levy Gallery in Albuquerque, NM."

    The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor is not surprised when Grandpa shows up with his attorney. The auditor says, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable."

    "I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it," says Grandpa. "How about a demonstration?" The auditor thinks for a moment and says, "Okay. Go ahead."

    Grandpa says, "I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye." The auditor says, "It's a bet." Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.

    Grandpa says, "Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye." Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet. Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye. The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

    "Want to go double or nothing?" Grandpa asks. "I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between." The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now. But he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.

    Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk. The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.

    But Grandpa's own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands. "Are you okay?" the auditor asks.

    "Not really," says the attorney. "This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!"

    "Age Spots is a meditation on the nature of growing older: although our external appearance changes and our bodies may betray us with indignities large and small, our hearts and spirits can still be as young as those of a six year old."  
    via tanyabrown.org

    "Age spots (also known as sun spots, liver spots, and lentigines), are harmless, flat, yellow or brown discolorations of the skin which usually occur on the back of the hands, neck and face of people above the age of 40."
