We're here!

I'm so tired of Facebook telling us to look at female stars who have aged fantastically over the past 50 years.  You should come to Independence Village of Plymouth Mi.  You haven't met so many beautifully aging women till you visit here!..................marge

Have a pen handy.

My to do list, for now anyway.  Take the hearing aids out BEFORE getting into the shower.  Write it down now, later is forgotten.  If you can't remember if you brushed your teeth, brush them again.  No harm done.  When your daughter looks at you with a smile and says, "I love you mom", know that you have missed an important part of the conversation!.................marge

They are such spoil sports.

I sit here with achy legs, no stamina and elevated levels of all that is bad.  All of the 'miracle' drugs and treatments on Facebook sound wonderful to me!  But the Dr. and my loving family members say no no no!  Ok,  I say let me try one, two or maybe three.  Boredom is so awful and I understand I'm the only one who can cure it.  I could start a group of none self-motivators.  Yes!  That's it!  Why didn't I think of that sooner..................marge

Or, gripe, or not to gripe?

Yes yes!  forget critique, let's go for griping!  Or a form thereof.  This all comes from turning the sound off on the TV and watching and looking and dissecting every little thing you see.  It is much easier to find 'flaws' or, my differing opinions that way.  I wouldn't wear a bathing suit to give the news or weather.  What I see though is distracting cleavage and baring of those shoulders, at least a little.  Now to the hair.  In my area, it is to see who has the longest hair and how far over the front shoulders it goes.  Just once I'd like to see them turn around to see what the backside looks like.  How long before a show do they have to sit, get their make up on and hair to perfection?  Alright, I confess, I am a little jealous at how good they look.  Does anyone on TV, broadcaster or contestant ever have less than perfect teeth?  Not that I've seen so far.  Is that one of the criteria when auditioning?  What it boils down to is, I'm looking for a parttime job behind the scenes.  My griping, or aiming for perfection, is getting everyone presentable for going on camera.  I'm feeling uniquely qualified.  My teeth were a little off but have since been corrected, not for looks but so I can chew better and I'm in need of a haircut. Aside from those items, I will keep my walker out of the way so no one will trip over it.............marge

He does have a human body.

What is inside of it is highly questionable.  How can our Senators, who are no better than he at this point, sit and deny our right to have bills voted upon?  They aren't evil bills and there are several hundred.  Are they telling us that all of them would harm our country and none would be any good for us?  That is just impossible to believe.  Please, everyone, including the senators, get out in the fresh air and take a deep breath, or ten!  You can't possibly believe that over 400 bills are all bad for our country?  Don't sit quietly and hope for the best.  You must take an active part in saving this United States!........marge

Trust a worriesome acquaintance?

An acquaintance volunteers to watch the kids while you run to the store,  you leave them in the park to explore while you are deeply engrossed in a novel.  You leave them for a few short minutes at the lake while you go and get a cup of coffee.  Now pretend these strangers are the man in the White House or any of his doting Senators.  What have you just allowed yourself to be?  Ignorant, not smart, and horribly gullible?  this is what has happened in our once great country for the past three years.  The sane citizens say wait until the election.  This though is not a sane situation!  Waiting until the next election may be way, way too late!  Pick any one in the service fields, professional or not, and they said to you,  Okay, I'm coming but first I have to do a couple little errands and THEN I'll come".  We don't have time for ANY errands!  We must act now!  Tomorrow really may be just be too late!..................marge
