I don’t like freebees and never go out of my way to search them out.......

*********************************************************************

Between the ages of about 55 to 65, I used to get asked my age at restaurants. When I’d say, “none of your damn’d business”, they’d say, “it’s for the senior citizen discount”, I’d simply tell them that I didn’t ask for a discount.

Now that I’m 70, I don’t get asked anymore. I believe they give it to me sometimes. I don’t make an issue out of it but I certainly never ask for it.

As for the freebies offered to veterans, I have always been able to pay my own way and for that, I’m thankful. Those vets who need it, should go for it.

Yesterday, in church, the veterans were asked to stand and be recognized. I stood proudly with the rest of the vets.
