The Problem with Crude Language
Crude language has become common in everyday life. It really bothers me. People use it in movies, music, and online posts, and many think it makes them sound bold or honest. But using crude language has real drawbacks. It weakens communication, reduces respect, and lowers the quality of our speech and thought. As you know, I use the word "crap" a lot and I'm not happy with myself for doing … [Read more...] about The Problem with Crude Language
Guys, Take It Off – Take It ALL Off!
I don’t like facial hair on men, especially older men. Among other things, it’s just not attractive. Younger men grow a beard because they are young and think it’s sexy. They have not yet learned to think for themselves. Older men should know better, but they don’t. They want to look as sexy as the young guys, but they can’t. Their face looks like it has been hit by a 10-ton salvage … [Read more...] about Guys, Take It Off – Take It ALL Off!
Be Bold! Kick It To The Curb!
I don’t like using the words “crap” or “crappy.” It’s crude. However, there is no better word to describe many aspects of the American diet. A look at what’s in shopping carts at the supermarket shows where most health abuse begins. Abuse often happens because we are lied to or misled about the products most people eat. A current TV ad for a cornflakes product boldly and proudly … [Read more...] about Be Bold! Kick It To The Curb!
We Have to Talk About This
Let’s face it: as much as we’d like to think we’re evolved and tolerant, human beings are judgmental. You are. I am. Your Uncle Angus is. So is the Pope, though he probably would not tweet about it. To maintain politeness, perhaps we should refer to judgments as judgmental preferences. That has a gentler ring to it, doesn’t it? I’ll admit it — I have many, many judgmental … [Read more...] about We Have to Talk About This
What “Age” and “Aging” Really Mean
When we talk about age in the human sense—not about furniture or grandma’s antiques—it’s important to recognize that it’s nothing more than a record keeper. Age is a chronological marker that notes the events of our lives: birth, school, marriage, jobs, retirement, and beyond. That’s it. That's all it can do. Our age has no power over how we look, feel, or function. It doesn’t make us … [Read more...] about What “Age” and “Aging” Really Mean

It's universally accepted that most humans would prefer to have the youth and vitality of teenagers forever -- without the teenage immaturity, of course. Our culture has very few remaining social standards that guide personal behavior, and many of those are under constant challenge. Change begins as marginal behavior and insidiously declines to the lowest common denominator. Remember … [Read more...] about Kris Kardashian — The Ultimate Ageless Teenager
Girlfriends, This Is For You
Over the years, I have spent (wasted) more money on face creams and assorted expensive beauty potions that promised that if I used the product, I would look fabulous forever. The promise made in ads had to be true because numerous reviews from satisfied women (with photos) swore the claims were true. Where did they find those lucky women? I have made up my mind; I will not pay a penny … [Read more...] about Girlfriends, This Is For You
Does Awareness Of Your Age Make You Feel Old?
Every year, thousands of people reach their fifties and sixties and are designated "senior citizens." For them, youth is gone, never to return. Their decline is inevitable, based on their chronological (calendar) age. Everybody declines, right? Wrong. In his book "Lifespan," author David A. Sinclair, Ph.D., asserts that aging is a disease that can be treated. He says, "I believe we can … [Read more...] about Does Awareness Of Your Age Make You Feel Old?
