ME                      FRENCH CAFE                ALLEN
 
1.
For anyone who doesn't believe in global warning go to:        
https://tinyurl.com/ch5onsg    Allen and I took a drive along what was
Fort Lauderdale Beach and if something isn't done soon there won't be a
Fort Lauderdale Beach!
2. So far I have posted any comments
regarding politics for over a week--it is not easy and, for now, I'll
leave it at that but in the future I will have to tell about the 2 guys
at The Point and Doyle's comment about the powerball.
3. I
know everything on the Internet is considered public but I still believe
e-mails and PMs that are personal should NOT be posted without  the
permission of the one who sent it and/or the one who received
it--otherwise it is just a crude move on the part of the one who posted
it for everyone to see.
4. Living in a senior citizen
residence it is sort of sad to hear people cry 'wolf' all the time. As
long as I have known Bess she has been dying, has no money, etc., and
yet she has enough money to buy and drink booze, has the Internet, a
cellphone, goes out to the local drinking hole, has dinner out every
once in awhile. She has emphysema, C.O.P.D., claims she finds it hard to
walk and more than once has hinted that she didn't think she would be
around in a month or so. First of all I don't understand people 'crying
wolf' and, second, don't they realize how boring they are?
5.
I was interviewed by a 27 year old 'kid' for a local newspaper and I
admit he made me feel old. He didn't know who Johnny Mathis is, had no
idea about H.U.D., and I should have ended it when he admitted he had no
idea what "A Chorus Line" was. He claimed it was because he was
straight--I tried to explain to him that it hadn't played on Broadway
for 15 years just by playing to a gay audience. I have no idea what his
profile of me will be but I will reprint it here when it is published.
6.
I have had a few instances of people posting blogs in light colored
fonts or fancy fonts or size 8 fonts--am I the only one who can't read
them? Not meaning to hurt any feelings but, no, I don't have time or
want to make them readable so I just skip them.
7. People
of a certain age--that is a fancy way of saying OLD!--have a serious
time of/ with falling and bleeding. I don't know whether the latter is
because as we get old the skin gets thinner or because so many are on
blood thinners  but it comes a major problem. I am not just talking
about blood on the sleeves of shirts or blouses but also sheets, pillow
cases, comforters, towels plus seeing a trail of blood drops and, for a
moment, not knowing where they came from. Regarding falling I have seen
more seniors break hips, shoulders, knees and other bones, rapidly going
downhill, first going to a nursing home and then hospice. If you are
old, if you live with or know someone old please make sure there home
has the necessary 'bars' to help with bathing and, yes, if you think
they need a walker, as much as they fight it, insist and talk to their
doctor. And then there is the very touchy subject of driving their
car--if you feel uncomfortable when she/he is at the wheelit is time to
take action before he/she steps on the gas instead of the brake and...
8. WOW! I don't know what got me started on that rant above but I have this awful habit--I care about people!
9.
I started with #1 about Allen and I driving down A1A--I forgot to
mention we were coming from 33RD & Dine French Cafe and was on the
way to the Cold Stoen Creamery--now that's a good day!!!
