THE WISDOM OF MAXINE
My brother, who is even older than me, sent me this by email. I never particularly appreciated Maxine, until this one.

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not try to blame others. HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT senior citizens who took: The melody out of music, The pride out of appearance, The courtesy out of driving, The romance out of love, The commitment out of marriage, The responsibility out of parenthood, The togetherness out of the family, The learning out of education, The service out of patriotism, The Golden Rule from rulers, The civility out of behavior, The refinement out of language, The dedication out of employment, The prudence out of spending, The ambition out of achievement or God out of government and school. Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts, as they stand at attention, as the Canadian/American Flag passes by in a parade! YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN! I'm the life of the party.....Even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof caps..... w ith a hammer. I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up. I'm smiling all the time, because I can't hear a thing you're saying. I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.
I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg. I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
AND MAY Canada/America CONTINUE TO THANK GOD ! !

Yes, social justice warriors, PC zealots and all other extremists, that is how I feel.
Right on Buzz. We've just got to show all of those kids (defined as anybody under 60) that we too can party till the sun goes down.
LOL
