a couple of weeks ago i bought a new toilet seat.

hubby is supposed to install it, but hasn't yet.

i was looking at the instructions today to see how hard it would be for me to do (not very hard, all i needed was a screwdriver).. on the back of the packaging it said this seat was designed for your comfort and creativity.. that made me laugh!

I am one of those people who will crap in their pants trying to find something to read for that glorious interlude.

Aliens are real....

by FreedomFrog in

or at least in my dreams.

have you ever had a dream so real that you had to call people or do a search to find out if it was a dream or not?

well, this happened to me.

Coming of age in the 1960's I became an avid reader of Fritz Perls and Gestalt Therapy. I liked his approach to dreams. Since they are your inventions YOU are everything in the dream.

So you put parts of the dream in a hot seat and talk to it.

Freedom Frog: Do you ever feel like an alien? Do you feel undiscovered? Maybe you need to ask the Alien in your dreams how they feel about nobody believing in them?

I have dreams that I am a famous therapist with an office in Carmel California.

I am 62 and I have an intense hatred for the selfishness of old people.

I throw AARP stuff in the garbage. They are a lobby group that benefits a segment of the population that has too many benefits already.

Where is the AAFYC? American Association of Families with Young Children.

Social Security is a scam. It is a way for rich people to make sure they don't have to take care of old people.

Social Security should be a simple welfare program to take care of the needs of children, mentally ill, retarded, morbidly obese in addition to the needs of old people.

Rich people should be paying for these services instead of collecting their social security for miscellaneous pocket change.

Old bastards get free medical care, prescriptions drugs, social security all on the backs of young families that can't afford similar benefits.

I know some old people who are able to pass their social security checks on to their children. They give their check to a different kid every month.

Once again old people are a bunch of greedy old bastards (I hate it but that includes me) that suck extraordinary benefits from the common pocketbook.

Answer to those who claim that talk of the end coming in 1975 was unofficial and merely rampant rumor:

Why didn't the Watchtower publish an article repudiating all of the gossip from 1966 onward. They have strong control and if they would have published one paragraph that said "Quit talking about the end coming in 1975 or you will be disciplined" all the rumors would have stopped.
