old folks thots
This is going to be weird..
But, when many of were younger, we were taught certain things.
Obey your elders,
REspect those older then you,
Yes, I know Im in that generation now. But I cant tell those younger then Myself to DO THIS anymore.
Its NOT that kids know TECH better then the elders. Or any of that.
Our elders are SUPPOSED to protect us, teach us, help us LEARN and make us better.
All I see at this time, AS in the past during the religious revolts in Europe, is CORPORATE leadership that is NOT worried about the Consumer/the nation/anything EXCEPT money..
Profit margins have Soared..
Upper wages have gone to the MOON and back..
Those in charge are the Con men of the 60’s and 70’s..
These folks have instigated the changing of LAWS and made BACK DOORS into our pocket books and taxes.
I dont even need to mention ACTA, and trade agreements be done in Back rooms and under the NOSES of our own congress, to be made into LAWS.
LAWS that Threaten your PRIVACY, and the corps dont PAY for the prosecution, YOU DO. YOU are paying to be searched at the borders for Pirated Movies and music. They HAVE the right to take ANY electronic device to be SCANNED and used against you. Insted of FIXING THEIR PROBLEM of making a better distribution system.
WE are PAYING the corps thru our TAXES not to go BROKE, because they SPENT all the money, on WAGES.
We might as well be run by the Mafia. and its WORSE then being run by the Mafia.
Have fun with this, its just STUPID how our Corps are taking over the world, and WE PAY FOR IT.
handicap adventures
Since I have come to live in in the convalescent home I have had to learn many new things. Since my last stroke in 2005 I have much difficulty getting everything to move around on my body. At first I couldn’t even speak clearly, but after much speach therapy I got better. I still have trouble , but I have gotten sorta used to the different feeling. To See what this was like just pretend sometime that you can’t move around. All of the things, you used to do you now can’t do.
especialy going to the bathroom The thought is very scary. Basically that’s what happens when you have a stroke. One of the things people don’t realize about a stroke is you have to change your thinking. As you once moved around without giving it a thought now requires a great deal of thought and attention to move certain parts of your body.
In fact you have to relearn completely new steps inside your mind to move around. God has given us a great machine called the brain. Believe it or not, you can actually re-program things that have been damaged. As for myself, I have chosen to do this. This thinking requires a great deal of effort . Typically we are not programmed to do this. So, those who are helping you need to be patient and understanding with you.
I heartily recommend this attitude. This challenge gives your mind something to focus on. Mentally, you begin to realize that you can be in control again. Now, granted the control is not what you are used to having but it is the beginning of a great life adventure.
Aging
George Carlin’s Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than 10 years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
‘How old are you?’ ‘I’m four and a half!’ You’re never thirty-six and a half. You’re four and a half, going on five! That’s the key.
You get into your teens, now they can’t hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
‘How old are you?’ ‘I’m gonna be 16!’ You could be 13, but hey, you’re gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There’s no fun now, you’re Just a sour-dumpling. What’s wrong? What’s changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you’re PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it’s all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn’t think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You’ve built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it’s a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80’s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn’t end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; ‘I Was JUST 92.’
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. ‘I’m 100 and a half!’
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
