Dress Code for over 50

Many of those over 50 are quite confused about how we should present

ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting

and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current

fashions.

If you are not in our 'group,' but you know someone who is -- please

share this:

Despite what you may have seen on the streets, or at the beach, the

following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:

1. Wearing a nose ring and bifocals.

2. Spiked hair with bald spots.

3. Sporting a pierced tongue and wearing dentures.

4. Wearing a miniskirt and support hose.

5. Wearing an ankle bracelet and corn pads.

6. Wearing a Speedo when you have Cellulite

7. Wearing a belly button ring and showing a gall bladder surgery

scar above it.

8. Wearing unbuttoned Disco shirts and a heart monitor.

9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge.

10. Pierced nipples that hang below the waist.

11. Bikinis and liver spots.

12. Short shorts and varicose veins.

13. Inline skates and a walker.

And the ultimate Bad Taste in fashion for older folks. .

14. Wearing a thong over your Depends.

Gone With the Wind Ultimate Survival Movie

It is hard to believe my all time favorite film is turning 70 years old. It is being re-premiered at the Earl Smith Strand Theatre in Marietta Georgia next weekend.

It follows Katie Scarlett O’Hara as she grows from an adorable spoiled brat into a woman without losing her selfish, vain, stubborn and manipulative traits.

I almost like Scarlett until she marries Frank Kennedy.

You can tell by the look on Mammy’s face that she is horrified at Scarlett’s selfishness. I guess when she said “If I have to steal, lie, and cheat I will never go hungry again” I did not think steal would include her sister’s fiancé.

Then after Frank is killed and she marries Rhett and she has Bonnie Blue Butler it is clear that even mother hood will not bring out one tiny unselfish feeling in her. Rhett dotes on his daughter and Scarlett fumes and even scolds him.. “I had the baby didn’t I?”

Maybe if she'd ended up with Ashley in an alternate universe that would have brought out unselfishness in her? As I was typing this, Rhett himself answered me.

Rhett: I feel sorry for you.
Scarlett: Sorry for me?
Rhett: Yes, sorry for you, because you're throwing away happiness with both hands and reaching out for something with both hands that'll never make you happy.
If you were free and Miss Mellie were dead and you had your precious honorable Ashley you think you'd be happy with him? You'd never know him; never even understand his mind, any more than you understand anything, except money.

Rhett's really like a romance novel hero come to life and walking around

- he totally takes Scarlett into his arms and does the "you've never really

been kissed before now" kiss.

Almost equally unsavory is Scarlett’s disdain for "white trash"

and the noble prostitute, Belle, who saves Ashley's life later on,

in spite of Scarlett. It is just easy to hate her, and I almost

believed I did...but despite it all I do like her. She's just so

spunky - I mean: she shoots a marauding Yankee in the face

point blank, she forces her younger sisters into hard labor,

she says things like "I can shoot straight, as long as I don't

have to shoot very far"! In 1868, that would have been

downright radical.

She is a paradox this lovely Scarlett O'Hara.

She is the ultimate survivor and the heroine we love to hate.

Veterans Day - November 11th

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 an armistice between Germany and the Allied nations came into effect. On November 11, 1919, Armistice Day was commemorated for the first time. In 1919, President Wilson proclaimed the day should be "filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory". There were plans for parades, public meetings and a brief suspension of business activities at 11am.

Veterans Day is intended to honor and thank all military personnel who served the United States in all wars, particularly living veterans. It is marked by parades and church services and in many places the American flag is hung at half mast. A period of silence lasting two minutes may be held at 11am. Some schools are closed on Veterans Day, while others do not close, but choose to mark the occasion with special assemblies or other activities.

With Deep Gratitude I say THANK YOU
