Beware of statistics!

A while back I attended a public meeting.  A gentleman, to prove his point stood up and said,  "I circulated a petition in my neighborhood and the majority of homeowners agreed with me".  I needed more information so I stood and asked, "to how many homes  did you go"?   His reply, "four"...................marge

Stay home!

Don't be used by money hungry stores on this upcoming Thanksgiving Day.  I know its fun to go shopping on your day off, but not this one.  There are 363 or so other days to shop.  Let the employees have the day off too.  What you 'desperately' need can wait.  Honestly.  You will survive staying out of stores on this day.  All the 'Super Sales' will NOT disappear if you stay home!  They will get even bigger and better.  Then go shopping................marge

Draining Medicare?

I'm not sure who may be abusing Medicare.  Is it various companies TV ads who comes up with  gadgets/gismos that promise Seniors they will get/feel better if they use their products?  Is it the Dr. who writes a prescription for their Senior patient?  Or finally, is it the patients who convince their Dr. they really could use these products.  Somewhere, somehow, I strongly feel that once again, Medicare is being scammed, at the expense of our government agency and all seniors..............marge
