Someone told me that they heard that if someone turns 100 years old in America, they get some kind of gift. Is this true? If so, where can I get it, and what is it, NO it's not me, but someone who knows me, but they are already turning 101, WOW!. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Didn't folks used to get an autographed photo or document, from the President?

Willard Scott says nice things about you.

Time
(Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

A big bill because they lived to long and sucked up to much SS and medicare.

Is this sung to the tune of Paul Simon's "my little town"?

My mother's grandmother was from England, and my mother told me this about her:

When she was 99, she said the last thing she wanted to do was to live to be 100, because when she did, she would get a letter from Queen Victoria.

When she turned 100 years old, she got the letter from the Queen.













....And she died the next day......

I guess that would depend upon how well you get along with others and if you have some friends just like any other birthday.

Some people might find an autographed photo of the president offenssive.
