I sincerely hope you had a wonderful and safe New Year celebration! 2024 is an unwritten book, and we have the privilege to write our best story, so let’s make it worth reading. My father once said that a year in the life is a mixture of joy and sorrow, so do your best to have more points in the “joy” category.
As you have heard me say, I am not one to make resolutions, as most are doomed to failure. I try to be simple and each year resolve to be just a little better than I was the year before. It sounds simple, but as I am wading through old age it is more difficult to resist the urge to shake my fist and yell at those doggone kids….but I’ll do my best and we will see how it goes.
I saw a few items that I wanted to pass along to you:
THINGS I’VE LEARNED FROM MEDICAL ADS
• All senior citizen couples live on the beach and have a Golden Retriever.
• All women laugh and dance in meadows during menopause.
• Overweight people cannot date or go on vacations until they are on a weight loss medication.
• The side effects of drugs are generally worse than the condition they cure or control.
• You can get drugs for conditions you didn’t know required drugs
• Tooth whiteners give you perfectly straight, even teeth with no chips or gaps.
Modern technology is saving us the equivalent of two weeks every year, say researchers. Self-serve checkouts, online shopping, online banking, online grocery ordering, streaming movies, paying with our phone and accurate GPS traffic updates are saving us around 6½ hours a week.
WEIRD STUFF REMOVED FROM PETS’ STOMACHS _ In a survey of veterinarians, here are some things removed from the stomachs of pets.
• A tent stake
• Alphabet fridge magnets
• A wig
• Underwear
• A bell
• Fishing hook
• Socks
I want you to resolve to keep in touch with me here by sending me items of local interest, photographs, upcoming events and anything you feel interesting. I will be sure to share them on the air, and also post them right here for everyone to enjoy. Just send your stuff to: [email protected] I look forward to your mail.
