Next month I officially become a senior citizen. I'll be 65-years-old. In the old days people didn't live as long as today. Life expectancy in 1900 was just under 50 years. It didn't hit 60 until 1930.
I joined AARP at 50. I've received a senior discount at the movie theater for 3 years. A senior at I.H.O.P. is 55. With life expectancy now pushing 80, that's 25 years of cheap pancakes.
Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. take a friend and get a free entree (BOGO with one entree and two drinks).
Wanda and I were on a cruise a few weeks ago. I don't look like a senior. I don't feel like a senior. And I sure don't act like a senior, but really, I am.
I read the AARP magazine. I subscribe to "Geezer", "Curmudgeon" and the e-zine "Health, Wealth and Happiness: Two Out of Three Ain't Bad." A common theme is don't stress, do something you love, laugh and be happy.
So, in a very real sense, I am writing the blog for my health.
If you're down in the Los Angeles area and have a powerful hunger this may be the place to go. Be forewarned, there is no senior discount.
The Magic Restroom restaurant, where customers sit on ceramic bathroom bowls and eat from toilet-shaped tableware did brisk business on its first fully open weekend.
"Business for the past couple of days has been very good. It's always a full house with customers waiting in the lobby," said waiter Larry Latrine as diners bustled around him. "The food we serve here is actually normal, it's typical Taiwanese food, like beef stew noodle for example," he added.
The toilet theme extends, perhaps inevitably, to the menu, with dishes including "black poop" (chocolate sundae), "smells-like-poop" (braised pork over rice) and "bloody number two" (vanilla and strawberry sundae).
A random poll of customers on the opening weekend suggested the restaurant has the right ingredients for success.
Denesse Eller said her chicken was served in a urinal while a shrimp rice order came in a small toilet. "It was kind of weird at first eating from them," she said. "But the food was really good, so it didn't make a difference."
Tania Monroe added: "I was like ... Magic Restroom Cafe? What is that? And we walked in and there just were toilets everywhere. It was really interesting. It was cool. For dessert me and my friends got a giant banana split. It was served in a horse trough like thing. I didn't know men peed in them."
Frenchwoman Marjorie Main, who lives in Los Angeles, said the food was very well presented. "It's in little toilets, so it's quite funny," she said.
"You have to choose your dishes carefully because some are more appetizing than others. But the food is very good. I think we will return with friends because it really is a place to discover."
Appetizers in little toilets, drinks in urinals and main dishes served in bed pans. To borrow a phrase from Tania...I'm so there.
Is that copper in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
Tommi Copper compression clothing.
I'm all for anything that relieves pain. This line of clothing is infused with copper, for blood oxygenation, regulates body temperature and has natural anti-odor technology.
Now that's what I call a great pair of underpants.
The company has a huge line of men's and women's clothing and a thirty day money back guarantee. If not satisfied simply return the item, clean or dirty, and pay a small handling and postage fee.
Here is a glowing review from one happy customer.
I seen the tommie copper ads on tv & the internet & yes i was very sceptical as well. I have had 5 knee surgeries on my right knee, my orthopedic told me 6 yrs ago i needed a parcel knee replacement. Im only 39 now & i told him no way.
I have had 2 previous knee injuries in the past yr 1/2 were i have fallen (tripping over objects in the floor that wasn’t suppose to be there) & i fell on both knees onto concrete.
I go to acupunture on a regular basis & it helps but i can’t go daily. THESES TOMMIE COPPER KNEE COMPRESSION SLEEVES REALLY WORK!! i wear them all the time. I have my full mobility back & haven’t had it back in over 10 yrs. They keep the swelling, inflammation, & i have no pain in my knees when i wear them. I absolutely love these! I thought about ordering a backup pair.
And here is a not so positive review.
I purchased the tc knee sleeve it did not offer any compression or reduce pain or swelling it is a complete ripoff save your money.
I don't have a knee problem. But if I did, I would opt for the parcel knee replacement.
I watched an interesting movie yesterday. It was so good I can't remember its title. The future, the wealthy buy "insurance" or clones for organ transplants. I know that will never happen in my lifetime. Now wealthy people go to black markets for kidneys and other live "you only need one" donors.
With increased life expectancy comes a commitment to health. Diet and exercise are two things we can easily do at home. I saw this the other day.
Please pass the salt.
