Conspiracy: We Must Stop This

Have you ever noticed that when you're of a certain age,

everything seems uphill from where you are? Stairs are 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 refection........Well,

REALLY NOW ......... even mirrors are not made the way

they used to be!

Another thing, everyone drives so fast today! You're risking

life and limb if you just happen to pull onto the freeway 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 labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as

18 or 20? Do they think no one notices that these things no

longer fit around the waist, hips, thighs, and bosom?

The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same

prank, but in reverse. 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 here!

All I can do is pass along this warning: Maturity is under

attack! Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon

" everyone " will have to suffer these awful indignities.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET

THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!

Hope you enjoyed this!

May God continue to provide each of us with a measure of

STRENGTH, WISDOM and PEACE.

Elaine,

I DID enjoy that and how true.......Boy, and here I thought the Florida

sunshine was causing all those things to happen. At least I know that I have

good company.

Try to have a pain free evening....
