    I’m in good shape for the shape I’m in – I just don’t look in mirrors or go to doctors.

    Just got my results back, everything “good” for late 60’s, but having had fibromyalgia for 4 decades, can relate to the doc’s statement. The secret is just keep going and a sense of humor.

    RE: Yesterday:

    Minimum wage won’t kill you – go find a better job instead of bitching about being paid what they think the low grade job you’re doing is worth.

    When it gets so bad with the inflation, due to the government spending money that doesn’t exist so they have to print it out of thin air, that your LIFE SAVINGS won’t even buy a postage stamp, THAT will kill you!! Go look at Germany in the 1920’s for an example of what happens THEN!

    It could happen HERE!

    BE THANKFUL FOR REAGAN. Reagan STOPPED Carter’s runaway “stagflation” INFLATION before it got that bad HERE!!

    There was NO ‘war on terror’ or ‘patriot act’ or ‘police state’ when Reagan was President! He had actually read the United States Constitution, unlike Shrub and Obama!\\

    If we had more Presidents like Reagan, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in now!

    When Reagan completed his two terms as Governor of the State of California, the tuition at the University of California was SEVENTY-FIVE dollars a semester, and the tuition at the State Colleges of California was FIFTY dollars a semester.

    WHAT IS IT NOW!

    When Reagan completed his two terms as President of the United States, there was a good market for college graduate engineers IN the United States!

    NOW almost all the jobs have been ‘outsourced’ to China and India!

    When Reagan was Governor or President, if you WEREN’T wealthy but you WERE a good student AND YOU TRIED, you could get a VERY GOOD education that was really WORTH SOMETHING for a VERY REASONABLE amount of money that you COULD EASILY AFFORD.

    NOW, you’re lucky if you don’t end up with EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS of student loan debt that you’ll NEVER be able to pay off BECAUSE THERE AREN’T ENOUGH JOBS THAT ARE WORTH ANYTHING IN THE UNITED STATES ANYMORE!
