THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!

We Must Stop This Immediately!

Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther away.

Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!

And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they’re red in the face! What do they think I am— a lip reader?

I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn’t even recognize me.

I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection. Well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!

Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You’re risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the motorway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.

Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labelling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices?

The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually ‘believe’ the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they’re fooling?

I’d like to call up someone in authority to report what’s going on — but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they’ve printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there!

All I can do is pass along this warning:
WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!

Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.

(I have always spelled it Bailey)!

OOPS! I spelled my son's name wrong. It is indeed, BAILEY

They get along just great. Bailey can't figure out why he isn't a lap dog like Giz. 85 lbs is a bit too much for my lap, so I get down on the ground to his level and let him rest his head in my lap. ;^)

I think you have two VERY handsome dogs, DD! I want to hug them both! (And, I’ll bet Gizmo will be forever grateful for saving his life!)

Cute Tuesday morning greeting, Tiapam.

Personally, I couldn’t STAND to be around someone that woke up like that! (Like some of the news channels - they are laughing, and talking loud, and/or yelling at each other - first thing in the morning!)

I want to wake up slow, and quiet, sip my coffee, and not hear obnoxious commercials or any of the above!

And, after two cups of coffee - I STILL feel the same way! LOL!

Sounds to me that the trick would be to NOT to turn on the T.V. before you’ve somewhat awoken! :)

Teenie, it is one of my favorites!

My daughter makes it when she is having a house full of company. She sets out the chicken in a big bowl, and big dishes of rice and refried beans. Then she puts out bowls of black olives, sour cream, onions, cilantro, tomatoes, salsa, guacomole, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, jalepenos, along with taco shells, soft and hard, and flour tortillas, tortilla ‘bowls’, and dorito type chips - and tells everyone to ‘dig in, folks’!

EVERYONE always asks her for the recipe - (not knowing it took a total of three minutes to make that wonderful chicken.)

I don’t remember if I said the chicken breasts must be skinless and boneless......(oops)
