Dave
Klein - The Federal Gov't, around 2003, sent out a safety advisory warning
employees of the hazard of falling out of one's chair in the office. I
have always enjoyed Dilbert and really get a kick from the rage he can
create among certain mid- and upper-level Management. That is, the ones
that can understand cartoons. |
Chuck Cooper - (CBC) Government has taken another vital step to protect your privacy. Remember how a year or two ago your doctor visit required several pages of extra paperwork, regarding who could find out how you were? Well now another page is required, giving the nurse permission to call your name when it is your turn. I was told that if you didn't sign the nurse would have to walk around the room whispering to individuals that looked like they might be you. Fortunately nobody had ever refused to sign. Please, if you have the chutzpah to refuse to sign, please report here what happened! |
Circulating - The advantages of aging: |
CBC- Under social security now, the people who had the higher income receive a lot more than those that enjoyed lower lifetime earnings. Bush has proposed something that should be dear to liberal hearts, pay everyone the same (approx, after taxes). People that probably need it the most get more, the more fortunate, less. And it extends the solvency of the SS system for many years. Did the Democrats jump on that? No way. If it is a Bush proposal it is no good, regardless of the merits. Please note that I express no opinion on the proposal. While not feckless, not stupid either. What is your view?

Anonymous entry from a member of the class of 1957.
So - the deal about High School is that everyone remembers the class ahead
of them (the cool folks you wanted to be) and no one remembers the class
behind them (pesky kids). Probably true. I remember a lot of folks from
the Class of 56-a lot of tall, great looking people. Babs and Sonny. Dutzie.
Marylou McClung. David Anabel. Sassie. Patty Ranft. Frank Wolf. Punky
Esping. Lola LeMieux (okay, not tall, but what an amazing name) - Chuck
Cooper! |

CBC - To anonymous. An interesting take, but not mine. My annuals have more notes from the class behind than from the one ahead (and thanks for all the "good luck wishes" people, it sure worked). And what was wrong with the hair? And demure? And who worried about popularity, except maybe with one girl at at time? For the record, Linda Walker refused to date me because she was a class ahead (even if only a few weeks older). She said it had nothing to do with popular, or "me", and I believe her. And I would like to visit my old locker, walk the old halls, and see if things still match the vivid memories. And old? Not yet kid, I'll let you know when! |
