  1. They don't call them the golden years for nothing. [Click] Take THAT, whippersnappers!

    And where do I start a rumor that Donald Trump is a paid agent of Hillary Clinton? ”Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, will be to destroy or permanently disable the Republican Party.”

    1. What a great article! Uplifting, even!

      As for the fear of falling, I use an elliptical and have taken Tai Chi classes, both of which are good for one's physical sense of balance. In the Tai Chi class, in fact, we were taught how to step carefully (more on the heel than the toe), especially on ice. Helps!

    2. Glad you liked it, listener. I have on occasion found myself shuffling, which is dangerous, stood up and walked normally. Walking on ice is not a problem hereabouts, but where it occurs I am sure it takes practice as well as caution. I recall seeing an advertisement a long time ago for tiny metal spikes on thin pieces of metal that fastened onto shoes to dig into ice on sidewalks etc.

  2. This election is like an ongoing torture. I'm so sick of Trump and Clinton - but especially Trump - that I can't wait for the day I never have to see his bloated orange flabby face again.

    2. Now ladies, we don't want to wish the paranoid, narcissistic little megalomaniac ill...that's not nice.Though somehow I doubt even Mr. Rogers could summon up much milk of human kindness for The Donald, no doubt he would tell us not to hate him.

      For myself, to save my blood pressure, I've decided the best thing is to pity him. After all, anyone that vicious obviously has no selfworth or inner core. And that's pretty sad. Also, pity is even worse than forgiveness from the standpoint of the recipient
