DEAR ABBY: Here's another one you can add to your "You know you're getting older when ..." file:
My 79-year-old mother has lived with my husband and me for 27 years. Yesterday a copy of AARP's Modern Maturity magazine arrived. I was preparing to put it in my mother's mail slot in the kitchen when I realized -- it was addressed to ME! Bummer! -- TINA IN HARRISONBURG, VA.
DEAR TINA: Console yourself that it doesn't mean we're over the hill. We're just headed in that general direction.
