WHY DID YOU BREAK UP WITH ME?
I WAS WAITING FOR A NIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR.
YOU TURNED OUT TO BE A DORK IN USED TIN FOIL!
THE MESSAGE:
THE ELDERLY
Can there be any doubt that our society deliberately targets the elderly and preys on their insecurities? Consider the greed merchants. Bernie Madoff used his twisted mind to bilk a few thousand seniors out of large amounts of money. Drug companies use their advertising dollars to bilk comparatively small amounts of money from millions of seniors. We have products that cater to ailments ranging from incontinence to loss of hearing. The elderly are promised free motorized chairs, stair lifts, risk free investments, pain free existence and better sex.
We have Reverse Mortgages, Sub-prime mortgages, low interest loans, high interest credit cards and governments who continue to tax citizens who have contributed to government coffers for sixty or seventy years.
We tend to shuffle our elderly into institutions and watch as they become less and less capable and more and more lost.
TONY TODAY:
THE INNOCENT CHILD
How many babies are born unwanted, unplanned for, unnurtured or unsupported? Unintended pregnancies within marriage are associated with a greater risk of divorce after the child's birth. Children born after unintended conceptions are very likely to live apart from one or both of their parents, usually their father, sometime during childhood. I believe strongly that children need the support and guidance of a mother and a father. Divorce by itself is understandable and acceptable; however, both divorced parents still have the responsibility of supporting each other when it comes to the health of any children. It is crucial that children not be faced with open and obvious disrespect by one partner aimed at the ex partner. Regular meetings between exes should be mandatory to ensure co-operation in raising any children.
THE MUSIC:
Doris Day - The Way We Were
I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant and I don't have acne. Life is great. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.
Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.
I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.
I decided to stop calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Old age is coming at a really bad time.
When I was a child I thought "Nap Time" was a punishment. Now it feels like a small vacation.
The biggest lie I tell myself is "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it.”
I don't have gray hair; I have "wisdom highlights"! I'm just very wise.
If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees.
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.
Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?
Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice.
At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering why I came in there.
What did the man say when the bridge fell on him?
The suspension is killing me.
Awarded to Pat Tabler for always repeating Buck’s facts or BS!
