GROWING OLD AIN'T FOR SISSIES

 

When I was in the military it was all about the band of brothers.

Now this is my band of brothers.

MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT CHANGES

 

 

I have complained about companies cutting cost by reducing the amount of product in their packaging.

But since I have gotten older, there are other things that devious society have slipped into my daily existence. 

·       Somehow, they have made stairs higher without my knowing it.  I use to be able to take them two-at-a-time, now I have to hold on the handrail, and am out of breath at the top.

·       Shoes are smaller, I am a size twelve, but have to buy a size fifteen.

·       When did they let teenagers become nurses and doctors?

·       There is something wrong with my household mirrors.  They display how I might look when I am ancient…   I think it is probably some advertising trick of insurance companies.

·       It is one thing for corporations to cut the size of food products, but now Wrangle is skimping on the length of material in the waist of their jeans.  I know I am a size 34, but I have to by a size 38 stretch; and I have to open the top button when I sit down to eat.

·       On most TV shows the actors whisper, and I have to turn the volume up to 90 to hear what they are saying.

·       Yesterday some woman opened a door for me and called me sir – what the fuck!

Things just aren’t the way they use to be; and I know it’s a conspiracy.
