  • I came across this really awesome photo sequence of the Brown sisters over 40 years and just had to put them together with music. Several others had the same feeling I see.

    I'm 80 today, and soon to be 81. I think the same thing. I was a young man, it seems as yesterday.
    The years gain speed as we age. I never thought I would be older than my Parents this soon.

      If you look at pictures of your forebears from 100 or so years ago, they didn't smile either. In fact, they all looked as they just came from church where they'd listened to a 90 minute long sermon on Eternal Damnation.

      If someone could explain why we SHOULD smile when photographed... Or even look at the spectator. If a photo captures the moment when you smile, or if the fact that you're being photographed on th particular moment / place / people around, fine. Otherwise it's pointless - or worse, hypocrit. Anyone can tell a spontaneous smile from a posed one. And a posed smile may conceal other signs of feelings.

    I saw a billboard in LA 10 years ago that said "the first person to live to 150 has already been born". I'm 64 now, lost a lot of close friends. Thankful to still have my 91 yr old parents, and two brothers 63, and 58. My best friend died of ALS last year at 78. Near the end he told me "the last 10 years went SO fast". I always wondered why old people wake up early.....now I know. I have 80k hours left of sports at a reasonable level. Of that, 20+ percent will be sleeping. Not much to 10 years when you put a number on it like that- Enjoy the ride fellow humans!

Unfortunately my mother never encouraged loyalty in the family and actually drove wedges between us. She hated it when we were getting on with each other. After my father died when I was 32 the whole family sort of fell apart. She’s 85 now and I haven’t seen her for 25 years and I never want to. Fortunately I have a wonderful husband and son which more than makes up for my previous dysfunctional family.

    Beautiful ladies, this was very interesting to see how they matured. 💗 You can even see from the photos when each of them were having a good or bad/stressful time or year. We can see stress in faces, that is temporary through tough times or even just lack of sleep.
    I wish I had a close sibling, makes me sad at times. 😔

    So beautiful. Made me cry. We're all, EVERYone of us, getting older every year. I yearn for paradise to come, Jehovah's promise. What's not to like, and, in the meanwhile, we can have hope and faith and dreams.

      this, as i'm sure everyone knows is just claptrap. if you mean physically then you're just lying and full of shit. if you mean spiritually then how do you know. do you know these girls? did you know then when they were young? people who say this kind of stuff just make me ill. just don't say anything!

      @@theID2 standards of what people find beautiful are different. i personally think they all were and are beautiful people. to think that if everyone doesn’t have the same personal opinion as you they’re a liar is so unbelievably conceited that it’s funny haha. like, you literally said people sharing a different opinion makes you sick. that’s hilarious.

      @@emmy-v4x what's hilarious is you have no clue what you're talking about. you think someone should be allowed an unfettered opinion based on complete ignorance? being open-minded is one thing but being so open-minded that your brain falls out is something else. maybe you're just a big ray stevens fan and 'everything is beautiful in its own way'? this is where the claptrap comes in. if everything is beautiful then beauty has lost all meaning! everything then also becomes ugly! ' everything is ugly in its own way'! your dumbassedness is part of what's wrong with society. you don't know the difference between up and down but it doesn't stop you from jumping into conversations you know nothing about, does it?
