DEAR ABBY: My grandmother lived to 103. She always answered, “I’m old enough to have a past and young enough to have a future.” She was still saying this past her 100th birthday. -- MRS. F. IN CALIFORNIA DEAR ABBY: Something I heard in a TV commercial would be a perfect response to what “Ageless” considers a rude question: “Age is just a number. Mine is unlisted.” -- CAROLE R.

DEAR ABBY: I think it’s time we stopped behaving as if getting to be a certain age, particularly as women, is something to hide.

IN CONNECTICUT
