Lawrence Kotlikoff wrote in the St. Louis Review,
(and I'm paraphrasing a bit). "The U.S. government is bankrupt, insofar as

Medicare to

My grand daughter got her H1N1 flu shot today.
She normally doesn't cry, but she did this time.
She made the comment, "The doctor broke my arm".
She was O.K. after grandma gave her a sucker, but she
told the story to everyone, how the doctor "broke" her arm.

January 20,2009. Start date. First post-Crappy.
Most of my first posts were infantile-total garbage!
No graphics, single spacing, wall of words-no readership.
My first 20 or so posts had a readership on ONE-Liz Moras.
Iguess because she got me into this, she felt obligated to encourage me,
and for that,

Lately, much has been written about the Mayan calendar,
and the disturbing fact that it does not project past the date 2012.

It's that time of the year again-the Monsoon season.
I'm sitting in my office right now at 5:30 PM; it's pitch black
already and the wind is howling. The rain is coming at the house vertically.
I really don't like this time of the year. To much grayness and damp.
Fortunately,

This photo came across my desk the other day.
What's wrongwith this picture?
Anyone see it?
In most third world countries, when disaster strikes;
famine, earthquake or flood, business goes on as usual.
That's the spirit of survivorship! I applaud that.
But jeez, ya' gotta' hope those aren't

I'm playing a a game with myself. (No, not that kind of a game).
I'm approaching 200,000 points AND 500 posts, so I'm "blowing off"
excess posts over the ten to get the total up to match the points. Problem
is, people keep commenting on the "blow-offs" and it's screwing

On Exercise By: Terry Chenier (Homelife Glenayre Realty)
Some interesting statistics on exercise.
Walking can add minutes to your life. That enables you at
85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7,000 a month.
My grandfather started walking when he was 60; he is now 97 years old,

Dear Dr. Phil,
When I retired, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pasttime-

I'm a creature of habit. I awoke Sunday morning at my usual
time; no alarm clock needed for me. Grabbed my paper, grabbed a coffee and started
doing my puzzles. Something was nagging me. Then it hit me!
It wasn't 6:30 at all-it was 5:30!

MOVING DAY! By: Terry Chenier (Homelife Glenayre Realty)
Recently, I sold a house to a nice older couple. They had
lived for 38 years in the same place that they had built, but it was run down
