If you….you might be a libertarian
*** begin quote ***
* If you can wear down someone in an 4 hour debate about rights… you might be a libertarian.
* If your friends won’t discuss politics in front of you cause they know you will hand them their ass… you might be a libertarian.
*** end quote ***
ROFL! I bet folks think of me like this?

For boomers, it’s a new era of ‘work til you drop’
By JOHN ROGERS | Associated Press
*** begin quote ***
Forty years into that run, the 60-year-old communications specialist for a Wisconsin-based insurance company has worked more than a half-dozen jobs. She’s been laid off, downsized and seen the pension disappear with only a few thousand dollars accrued when it was frozen.
So, five years from the age when people once retired, she laughs when she describes her future plans.
“I’ll probably just work until I drop,” she says, a sentiment expressed, with varying degrees of humor, by numerous members of her age group.
Like 78 million other U.S. Baby Boomers, Symons and her husband had the misfortune of approaching retirement age at a time when stock market crashes diminished their 401(k) nest eggs, companies began eliminating defined benefit pensions in record numbers and previously unimagined technical advances all but eliminated entire job descriptions from travel agent to telephone operator.
*** and ***
“My advice is above all don’t retire,” he says. “If you like your job at all, hold onto it. Because getting back in in this era is essentially impossible.”
*** end quote ***
“Jobs” is not a zero sum game. But it is an obsolete meme.
The “gold watch” meme was obsoleted in the early Eighties.
The first torpedo a midship was the ERISA rule that did 5 year pension vesting. We then became a nation of five year employees. “Pension harvesters”. I got two.
The second was the entrepreneurial meme that came into place big time in the late Eighties with the updated Sub S corporation rules.
When job requiring obsolete skills go unfilled because business can’t find anyone qualified at a price they could afford to pay, how is an old person taking it depriving someone younger person?
If anything, it’s “good” that boomers are clogging those old “jobs”. Like making buggie whips. This may induce youngsters to recognize the new meme and open their own biz. Growing the pool of “jobs”.
The pie isn’t a fixed size. We should want the yutes out creating new wealth; not laboring in dead end corporations.

“My love, were it in my power, I would sadly grant thee this boon. But, we have to continue to follow His Plan for us. Let’s go forth and speak no more of this. Who ever is last will be last. It will be His choice; not ours. We’re but humble custodians of His temple on earth. It’s not our place to trump His plan. Whatever that plan be, know that I will be with you to my last breath.”
— character “John” in CHURCH 10●19●62 Volume 2 Page 399

A year ago, I sent out the “Chapter Ninety Eight” message.
So, I’ll sadly pick up my burden and begin the race to the Finish Line to rejoin her.
When it comes my time, who will send out the “Chapter Ninety Nine” message for me?

It really sounds off around police cars. I guess they leave it ‘hot’ when not trapping. I’d be worried about radiation and cancer.
It hasn’t saved me a ticket yet. So we’ll see if it’s has an ROI.

Using the IOS GMAIL app, you can’t save an attachment. So it can’t replace a Personal Computer. Yet!

“And I’ve lost her … . I’m so sad that I don’t have … . But I’m so grateful that she was with me … . And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?” — Chuck Noland ala Tom Hanks in Cast Away (2000) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162222/quotes

(Inspired by a child’s FACEBOOK post.)
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my wife?
She died year ago today. And I expect is either with you in heaven or patiently waiting her turn for admission. Little confused about that Purgatory thing, and since she suffered a lot during her life, I figure she paid for any venial sins a long time ago. Based on what I know of her life, I don’t think she had any mortal ones on her permanent record. Don’t forget from her twenties on she never had a good day with her diabetes. Childness was another heavy cross she bore without complaint. And, in the last years, the strange blood disorder that she allow the “medicine men” to experiment on her was the final one. Never heard her complain. Although at the end she was impatient to be released from this vale of tears.
I miss her very much.
I am happy that you let me have her as my wife even though she got sick. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. And, she made me a better person.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls — especially catch with little boys, bowling before her legs gave out, and her beloved basketball. Of course, if you have a few slot machines, that would keep her entertained for hours. She can show you her “Irish luck”.
I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my wife. By the way, thanks for giving her that fantastic day January 21, 2011. She felt great; not perfect but pretty near the old Ev of her youth.
I really miss her.
Dona Nobis Pacem
With apologies to a young girl named Meredith who gave me this idea.

I’ve always believed that after a year, one has to grant oneself “amnesty” and move on. I’ve tried to do that after seeing my relatives literally drive themselves nuts with regrets. Today marks a year. I hope that tomorrow the healing begins. Although I doubt it.
Love ya, toots!
(To which she’d always reply “Don’t call me toots!”. Wish I could hear that one more time.)

Sharp elbow; warm heart
The journey of a girl born into poverty,
From a tenement walk up
… to … a
quiet passing into heaven
… with frequent stops:
to help people, and
love all the children along the way.
