seniors

Yup, I'm here in seniorsville coping with Social Security, aches, pains and all the other crap that makes the promise of the golden years seem like a wisp of smoke from one of my occasional good cigars. No one tells us that the years will be filled with arthritis, acid reflux, fibromyalgia, intestinal gas and the like. Just look at the ads for the 'senior communities' - all are running around playing tennis, golf and lawn darts in designer duds. Hmmm, seems like advertising hooey to me. We areempowered by AARP (an insurance company front), 401k plans that are not worth the paper they are written on. 'Welcome to Walmart' - is this our real retirement destiny? Who has some other thoughts out there in cyberland?????
