There is a book called the Power Of The Subconscious Mind and there were accounts of people being healed through affirmations and visualization. So I adapted the affirmations from that. Then after a week without any progress it started to grow back.

+1 yThe endless onslaught of senior life insurance policies that cost of fortune once you're past your 40s. AARP materials, though I've been a member since I was in my late 40s and how can they not know this. I've lived at the same address forever.
Invitations to join senior-only communities (how incredibly boring to join any blank-only community... I like people of all ages). Old folks homes insurance and invitations. EXTRA health insurance. Accidental death policies.
Not worried about "accidental" death. It's assured death from a hundred things that is the big issue!
But you'll have fun reading through all the offers. You might even find something worthwhile. So laugh at your impending "old" life. And rage, rage against the dying of the light!

VCR's were fairly new (in fact we had an expression when you were too stupid to figure something out we said "you look like my grandpa trying to figure out the VCR"), now I've outlived that expression due to the VCR being obsolete. I'm pre-internet (Though you don't really have to be that old to be pre-internet I don't feel). A "hashtag" used to be a label for your weed back in my day

When I joined the military they would essentially call us new guys kids.
Then later on when I was not so new, and the new guys came in, they DID look like little kids.
And they act like little kids too. And they're shy and shit lol.
