These remedies have been tried and tested.  As for this post it is for entertainment only and if you need advice consult your doctor.

1.  THRUSH:    This is a yeast infection that affects babies.  Any person that has not ever seen their father can blow in the babies mouth for a cure.  Can be repeated for 3 days.

2.  NIGHT-TIME COUGHING:   Rub Vicks Vaporub on the bottom of feet.  Said to work 100% of the time.

3.  COUGHS & FLU:  Make hot toddy by mixing 4 oz. honey, 4 tbsp. lemon juice and a shot of wild turkey.  Take it by the tablespoon.

4.  CURE FOR COLIC:  Take a tsp. of baby’s milk and blow cigarette smoke on it, approximately 5 puffs.

5.  EAR ACHE:   Melt some real butter and put two drops in ear.

6.  HUSBAND TALK IN SLEEP?   Grab hold of his big toe and he will tell you anything you want to know.

May the road to the white house be paved with god-fearing, sensible people who recognize that Obama is a slick, fast talking, wannabe. who speaks with a forked tongue.  He promises a chicken for everyone and a pot to cook it in.  Whatever you need he has got it for you.

On the other hand your long history of experiences and knowledge is so much more to be appreciated.  It would be nice if americans could look past the gift of gab and recognize that the things that matter most are not what Obama promises.    May God speed the election in your favor.

Do you ever get the feeling that you are on the outside looking in?  Most of us oldies (but goodies) feel that way.  We are limited on what we can do.  Everything going on in the world is geared to the younger generation.  We have to be a celebrity before we are noticed. 

Could we please have an alternative to Fredricks of Hollywood?  Or could we have upcoming fashion shows for just us oldies?. 

Of course they will sell us term life insurance til we are 85, but it’s so expensive few can afford it.  And, of course, funeral homes will sell us pre-arranged services..  When we start going down the other side of the hill, we are of no interest to the majority.

We are a combination of life long training and experiences, all trapped in an aging body which no one can look past.  We are not worthless but we do feel hopeless sometimes.  There needs to be changes in our society to show more respect for the elderly. For most of them it is like”climbing the rough side of the mountain”.

I remember well how it was back then.  Going to school everyday and walking one mile to get there.  It was a one-room school with two outhouses and one teacher for grades 1 thru 5.  We got our drinking water from a spring across the creek.  It was dispensed from a churn-like container with a spigot to which the teacher added one tablespoon of clorox.  In the back of the room stood a pot belly stove.  A lot of the boys would sit around the stove and one in particular would get too hot and pass out.  His name was Joe and the class would sometimes sing the song “Old Black Joe” and that would precipitate another blackout once in awhile.  I remember once that my friend and I decided to climb to the top of the mountain in front of the school.  We climbed and climbed but gave up on being able to see what was on the other side.  After coming back down the teacher made us wash our feet in the creek and then she gave us a few good licks with the paddle.  My mother had a few words with her for having our feet in the cold water.

At the beginning of the school year we were given a bar of lifeboy soap, toothbrush and toothpaste.  Each morning we had to have inspection.  We also did the pledge of allegiance.  Playing baseball was our favorite game for recess and lunch hour.  Sometimes the girls would play “pretty girl station”.

Well that was October 60 years ago.  It is so much different now.  Although much better now, back then we didn’t have to worry about school shootings and violence and predators

The debate is over and Sarah did great!!  She actually represents mainstream America and is very impressive.  The liberals can’t stand her popularity however and take every opportunity to defame her.  Lets hope the McCain-Palin ticket kicks some butt and takes this country back.

Obama thinks he is a gifted gabber.  It is a known fact that if a person has that gift they can persuade people to do or buy anything.  He might can talk but i don’t think he can deliver.  And all those promises!!  No Way!!!!
