Advocating Non-Traditional Lifelong Growth and Productivity
lOverheard from a healthy 83-year-old man:
"I am a completely illiterate computer person, not tech-savvy at all. I have no idea how to transfer photos from my cameras to the computer, so I will have to wait till I find a little kid to do it for me."
He laughed … [Read more...] about How Seniors Are Maneuvered Into Decline
I belong to a group of researchers scattered across the US. Some in the group have contacts in Germany, Italy, and Australia. We share information and try to stay abreast of current political and social events that shape or eventually will shape our lives. The different pieces of information from various parts of the US or elsewhere are often similar. For example, before the … [Read more...] about They Really Don’t Like Us
Many people think all doctors are wealthy. That's not true. Wealthy doctors are usually those trained for a specialty such as cosmetic surgery or any popular specialty practice that doesn't accept insurance. I recently received a letter from a local doctor that is reminiscent of what many insurance-accepting doctors deal with. Read it carefully and think about it.
We've heard or seen it a hundred times every day: "Joe Biden is too old to run for office." NO, HE IS NOT TOO OLD TO RUN FOR OFFICE! As TV Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary, AKA "Mr. Wonderful," would say in jest, "Stop the madness!" Joe is old, but his chronological number (age) does not control his mental or physical ability. Maybe the constant chanting about being too … [Read more...] about The War Against Old People
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
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 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
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
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
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?
