A new book, "How Not to Act Old," by Pamela Redmond Satran is climbing the ranks of the Amazon humor section. I've read it and like most humor, there's a lot of truth behind its snarky advice and tips for middled aged folks who are starting to feel like they "just don't get those young people."

We've all seen it. And, likely we've all done it. You know the repeated FWDs (forwards) that arrive in our email... on our cell phones... in our blackberry and other smartphone emails. Do you open them? Do you FWD it to a new set of friends and family? As a newbie…
