    Devastating! Going to a “Senior Issues Plank” for the State Dem Party Platform this evening.( Never thought I’d be a “Senior Issues” kinda gal.) The little pistol that is organizing this is also a good cook!

      Well, when I have my next birthday I’ll be eligible for senior discounts in some stores (but not others). I figure I’m still aboveground in my seniorness, and not even much gray hair. It could be worse.

        I have always balked at the thoughts of “senior discounts” and I have tried to ignore the pleas of AARP to join them. But, when I do look at the deals an AARP membership can get…I get tempted, but then I remember AARP’s role in getting Medicare Part “D” passed, and I pitch the envelope into the recycling bin.
        L’Oreal takes care of the gray hair. I’m just proud that it is growing again!

          I’m back. Drunk (killer zinfandel), but back. And, oooh, I do love the mountains.

          It was both a good and bad trip. The woman I went with (who is also a co-worker) is someone I love dearly, but she tried to mother me to death. And I have longstanding issues with people who try to do everything for me or present me with solutions to things that aren’t even problems.

          But I understand why - her husband is fairly seriously disabled, and she *has* to be a control freak. But it was hard!!

          Great Thai food last night, though, and a killer zinfandel, the bottle of which got very hot in the car today and of which I just killed.

          ::hic::

          But I’m back! See you all after House!

            Oh, and a great training session. I can now do SQL commands and run real live queries, and I’m not even a computer geek. But the things I can do …

                It’s fun! I never imagined that me, a total NON-computer geek, could find SQL and queries fun. But they are.

                mango, I turned off the spaminator so you shouldn’t have any more trouble posting.

              The last post made it. I have to tell you all that I will be working for the next four Saturdays. I will be a cocktail waitress at the Cadillac Ranch every Saturday during the Redneck Mothers performance each week. The regular gal’s mom died and she has to go home to Nashville for a month. This is going to be fun! How many sixty seven year old cocktail waitresses do you know. I am pumped.

              You ladies are my heroes!!! Love you all. Hugs all around and a pow-wow round the fire, my brave women who run with the wolves.
              I put planks in the “Dem 08″ national platform for all us “ladies of a certain age”.
