Sucks Getting Old is getting old

It sucks getting old.  But when all we can do is to "get old", there is not many viable alternatives.  The Swiss, god bless them, are making provisions for "end of life planning", or what clinics will call "We take walk-outs."

The Swiss have done much for mountains, banking, and the putting of holes in cheese.  I think they even gave us Yello, but I could be wrong.

Wrong is something we get alot as we get older.  And it sucks being wrong, almost as much as it sucks getting old.

In the last year, I have had the misfortune of having one of my dearest friends die from cancer.  Another acquaintance just passed on, with the euphemistic body riddled.

Life itself is a riddle.  But riddles, like the Swiss, and like cancer, and getting old suck.   There are no guarantees, no best before dates, no use before cautions.
At a certain point there is truth alone.  And death and taxes and gravity are all pretty safe bets.

Seven come eleven, boxcars or snake-eyes.  That's life.  Sometimes youse a winner, and sometimes, it's craps.   It is all how you roll it, little lady.   Little Lady Luck.

Warming your heart with your hands

It is enough to warm your heart with your hands.

Drums of fire on the corner filled with insurance papers, tax forms, yellow journalism, love letters, and family portraits.

Let us pause to consider those less fortunate.  

Forced to drink mexican beers on beaches with blondes in bikinis.

At Freedom 85, we say feh to the fortunate.  Give us a drum of fire, and a grudge to nurture, and we are filled.

Rewards in Heaven-new from Freedom85!!!

For years at Freedom 85, we have been preparing you for life in your sunset years.
Like our slogan, "We hold these truths to be self evident", it is obvious to most of us that retirement, pensions, and golden years are advertising terms from a by-gone era.

The truth is most people will work until they are no longer able to work. The options are limited, so we advise to get with the program, and learn to live your life now.

Because tomorrow.....well, you know where we stand on the issue.

But recently, we have developed a new program that is sure to shake up the status quo.

We call this program REWARDS IN HEAVEN. For pennies per month, you can realize security you have never known on earth.

When we finally leave this earthly domain, what becomes of us? This is a question that has been asked since the beginning of time.

For many life on earth is simply a stage before one gets to Heaven.

But what awaits you in Heaven?

It has been said that you cannot take it with you, but now with Freedom 85's REWARDS IN HEAVEN program, you CAN arrange to have it waiting for you.

Details to follow.
