Decline starts the day we are born, but evidence isn't visible until you reach your late thirties. That's when you begin to see annoying facial changes: puffiness under the eyes; skin texture becomes more coarse and lax; fine lines appear; jawline isn't as firm as it once was. Much of it reflects how we have been living, although we refuse to believe that simple … [Read more...] about There Is A Long Road Ahead So Plan Ahead
Will You Be Eating Your Neighbor?
Early in the COVID hoax, I stated many times that the purpose for the government's frantic insistence that everyone be vaccinated was not based on a health concern. It was not my imagination; I cited reliable sources for my comments, yet I was roundly criticized for spreading misinformation. For speaking out, I was banned (and still am banned) from that ultimate bastion for … [Read more...] about Will You Be Eating Your Neighbor?
I Wanna Live Like A Young Person
I live near an "upscale" retirement community. In a recent widely distributed community newsletter, the retirees were in an uproar because younger people were trying to muscle their way in and disrupt what I call their "snoozing" lifestyle. They resent the noise and vitality of younger people and are unafraid to verbalize their displeasure.
But wait . . .isn't there … [Read more...] about I Wanna Live Like A Young Person
The Angst And Agony Of Disobeying Society’s Age Rules
Several years ago, my daughter told me that my grandson "Bill" had a girlfriend," Mary," but he was reluctant to tell me about it because Mary was older than he was. Bill was aware that in our unyielding horse and buggy culture, a man is supposed to be older than a woman. Isn't it amazing that in our "anything goes" world, we still give chronological age the power to rule … [Read more...] about The Angst And Agony Of Disobeying Society’s Age Rules
Living For The Future
I feel sorry for Joe Biden. He is constantly nagged about his age, and I get it. Yes, he shows signs of senility, but his chronological age is not responsible for his mental decline. If that were true, all of us who have reached and passed age 80 should be in the same deplorable condition. However, your age does have some value that doesn't relate to your mental or … [Read more...] about Living For The Future
Would You Go To A 100-Year-Old Doctor?
Having lived as long as I have, one thing I've learned is that the government, with its long arm of bureaus and regulatory agencies, is not our friend. In my view, the government and its entities exist to tax us, restrict and control our lives, and amass as much power as possible. The government micro-management of pharmacists and doctors is a good example.
I'll … [Read more...] about Would You Go To A 100-Year-Old Doctor?
Should Every Retiree Have a Job?
You may have seen a TV ad featuring a retired couple who said they thought they had planned well for their retirement but soon realized they needed more money. They decided to sell their life insurance policy to augment their income. An insurance policy must be worth a lot to get anything of value from it when sold.
It's not unusual for people to retire, thinking … [Read more...] about Should Every Retiree Have a Job?
The Result Of Intellectual Ignorance
I've been harping on the typical junky American diet forever, and just about everyone at least suspects that what they regularly put into their bodies is not good. Still, they go on eating what they are accustomed to. The video below may be a wake-up call for those who care about their long-term health. I said "long-term health" because what we do or do not eat over time … [Read more...] about The Result Of Intellectual Ignorance
Behave Yourself!
Recently I was in a busy doctor's office waiting room filled with mostly seniors. It was quiet until I heard a loud, angry voice, "I'm a senior citizen. You people can't do that to me. I drove all the way in from Peoria!". The young girl behind the counter, to whom she was complaining, tried to explain what needed to be done by the patient, but it didn't satisfy the woman. … [Read more...] about Behave Yourself!
TIPS: How Much Is Enough — Or Too Much?
I live in an area surrounded by 50+ retirement communities. My locality has a large number of retirees as well as many young families with children. The retirees like to air their concerns and complaints in a neighborhood newsletter called Next Door. It's a global outfit, so you might also have Next Door in your area.
Messages on Next Door are monitored, just like … [Read more...] about TIPS: How Much Is Enough — Or Too Much?
