There is so much in the pricing of today's items that tells me I'm old.  For example, I remember gas at 19 cents a gallon.  And, they gave S&H Green Stamps!

Good morning Paul. If a cupcake could hold one candle for every year I am old, put a wick in the middle and you will have a cup cake enclosed candle as the wax melts, ha, ha! Enjoy your day.

Love the quote, and possibly very true that the older you get the candle cost more and more and maybe you eat a smaller cake too.

Haha, that is a great point but it seems that everything costs more than the cake these days.  We can't really have our cake and eat it too.

Great point Brian England

Hello Paul - ah, once again perspective plays a role.  So along with the quote and the image in this post it's the comments that add to my pondering.  It seems especially true today.
