I am old, but I remember when Philip was a dashing, fit & trim, athletic person. As the years have passed, I thought he has just grown more and more distinguished looking. No...he doesn't need a facelift. He looks just like a man his age normally looks...probably better for having kept...

The Right Wing's plan for the country is to make it resemble South America.....the very very rich would pay few ...if any ....taxes, there would be little governmental regulation of business, hardly any social programs. That is how South America views economics....the result is a few very...

You know, that will be a very interesting thing to wait and see about. Princess Anne was pretty adamant about not wanting her children to have titles....but as they become adults, one wonders if THEY feel the same way about that that their mother does. To tell the truth, if I was the...

I can tell you for a fact that I have always deliberately made an attempt to be a happy person. Recently ....not only have I had many financial difficulties, but have also developed a serious illness which not only frightens me, but results in a LOT of daily pain. I can assure you that I...

My Dad told me once that everyone tells their own story their own way....and that everyone does the best they can to get through a day....sometimes resorting to doing harmless, foolish things to help them do it. Dad said that best thing is to be tolerant and kind as possible.....that one...

My "desk" is an 8' long wooden farm table....computer is at one end. Next to it is a group of books....my journal, a dictionary, a thesaurus, address book, and my spiral notebook I use to make my "lists". My telephone is at the other end...sitting on phone books. It is in my living...

That rascal told us Spring was just around the corner....and there wouldn't be six more weeks of winter. The snow has been falling outside my window....steady.....all day long.

I know very well I will get a violation notice for this question...and I don't care. But , doesn't it seem to all of you that we in the Seniors section are so like Mr. Rogers and his neighborhood? Kindly Lilly always happy,,,, me--old bossy boots political woman....Mr. Green Jeans...Go...

My dad will eat just about anything...but he said that the food on the ship he was on was pretty grim. My Dad was in the Navy during the war....and said that the food supplies on the ship were very limited due to where they were, how long they were at sea...and the difficulty of resupplying the...

I was thinking I would like to use a bicycle more to get around the neighborhood....put a basket on the thing and it would be a good way to run small errands....but street seems so unsafe and it is against the law to ride on the sidewalk. My city has no bike lanes..... do you still try to...

It was difficult for me to do this....I feel that I am still quite alert and completely capable of looking out for my own affairs...yet I see others my age keeling over suddenly from strokes and heart attacks their doctors never saw coming. So, I took the bit between my teeth and had the...

We keep seeing pictures of the royals attending Christmas services at a little church. Is the church on the grounds of Sandringham? Is there a little village nearby and that's where the church is? Can just anyone in the area go to church there on Christmas morning while the royal family...

Did that strike anyone else as being....well....just a little bit eerie and odd? There was Kate....wearing Diana's ring....wearing a blue suit....and holding onto William's arm just like Diana held onto Charles. Over the top? Eerie?

The Queen gave him "precedence" next to her...above Prince Charles. When Charles becomes King, if Philip is still alive, does Charles have to "re-do" all that precedence proclamation? I KNOW that Prince Charles will be first in precedence, but then who comes next? I'm not looking for...
