HOLIDAY INN VS. NURSING HOME
THE AVERAGE COST OF A DAY IN A NURSING HOME IS $192. YOU CAN GET A REALLY NICE ROOM AT THE HOLIDAY INN FOR $65. THAT LEAVES $123 FOR BEER,FOOD(ROOM SERVICE),LAUNDRY,ELVIS COLLECTIBLES,GRATUITIES AND CLOTHES. THEY HAVE A SWIMMING POOL,A WORKOUT ROOM,A LOUNGE,CABLE,INTERNET,FREE SOAP,SHAMPOO,CONDITIONER,TOOTHPASTE,IRON AND HAIR DRYER. THERE MAY BE A BIT OF A WAIT TO GET THAT FIRST FLOOR ROOM ,BUT HEY, THERE IS A WAITING LIST TO GET THAT HALF OF A ROOM AND HALF OF A CLOSET AT THE NURSING HOME. THERE IS A SENIOR BUS,THE HANDICAP BUS,A CHURCH VAN ,CABS AND IN SOME CITIES THE DUCK. YOU HAVE SECURITY AND IF SOMEONE SEES YOU DROP OVER I'M SURE THEY WOULD CALL THE AMBULANCE (IF YOU BREAK YOUR HIP,HOPEFULLY THE FAMILY WILL BE SMART ENOUGH TO SUE) WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR? WITH AARP AND OTHER SENIOR DISCOUNTS,I COULD BE LIVING PRETTY NICELY!!
SO,WHEN I REACH THE GOLDEN AGE HELP ME KEEP MY GRIN; JUST CHECK MY RICKETY BODY INTO THE NEAREST HOLIDAY INN

myLot - beauty of old woman ....
myLot - beauty of old woman ....: "much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why don't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women? ... by HARRIET BEECHER STOWE
How very true indeed .. so i went and searched for a good poem to all my lady friends to share ... here it is
The old woman by Joseph Campbell
As a white candle
In a holy place,
So is the beauty
Of an aged face.
As the spent radiance
Of the winter sun,
So is a woman
With her travail done,
Her brood gone from her,
And her thoughts as still
As the waters
Under a ruined mill.
i will like to thank all this woman who have sacrificed and faught for 'womans freedom'
cheers"
