Everyone needs hope
There is much you and I can’t do anything about. If you live, you can’t stop aging. The only way to stop aging is to die. We can’t make ourselves younger. The 18-year-old may wish to be a few years older for various reasons. Once you turn 19 you can’t go back to 18. You…

What do you expect from our next President?
I’m voting for the Presidential candidate who will promise to keep Social Security solvent. I’ve hit the age where I’m finally on the receiving end of some of this government money and I want to keep it going. Never fear. I’m still paying plenty of taxes. I’m still holding down a job, so Uncle Sam…
