Don't let the old man in. Not today.
And if he pushes in anyway, don't let him make himself at home!
How old would you be, if you didn't know the day you were born? Some people are born old and some would never be old if the calendar (ok, and the mirror) didn't tell them so. They think they are supposed to let the old man in. Nope. He's a state of mind, and he's horrible.
I just listened to Clint Eastwood singing a song with the blog title, because it was his response when asked how he could be starting filming the following week when he was 88, how did he keep going? 'I don't let the old man in'. Like most C&W it's a bit mournful so I haven't included it but the quote above is from the lyrics.
I can't remember when I last did a cartwheel and I'm pretty damned sure I really can't. But just because now when you party like a rockstar it takes a few days to recover doesn't mean you never party again, right? Don't let the old bugger spoil everything that makes life sweet.
For a while CS was a haven for those who escaped the dreary world to laugh, gossip, squabble and flirt. Then we let the old man in. (No, I am not pointing a finger at anyone in particular. I am saying we let in bigotry and offensiveness and let them hold the floor, existing members as much as new ones have let the old man in)
TODAY - don't let him in. And if that feels good, tomorrow too.

Your 'Favorite' Trump lies
There's been so many lies by Trump, one would have difficulty remembering them all.
For instance;
The virus is a hoax by the democrats.
Mexico will pay for the wall.
Russia had nothing to do with online interference with the campaign. I believe Putin.
I'm a stable genius.
The meeting with the Russian woman was about adoptions.
I hire the best of the best.
Nobody has done more for the blacks than me.
We're going to win so much, that you'll be tired of winning.
I fired Comey, because he mishandled Hilary's email situation.
Nobody understands this more than me.
I know more about the military than the generals.
I'm in great shape.
Sessions should not have recused himself.
The virus will be gone like a miracle when the weather gets warmer in March.
The reason California has fires, is because they don't rake the forest like they do in Finland.
The blacks love me.
I will eliminate the national debt.
I will drain the swamp.
There was no quid pro quo.
Lock her up.
I was only in the bunker to inspect it.
There were very fine people on both sides.
The hurricane was supposed to hit Alabama.
I will rebuild the infrastructure.
Nobody knew that.
The Middle East is simple. I'll get them together and negotiate. It's what I do.
This was the greatest witch hunt in history.
They loved me in Puerto Rico.
No president was treated as bad as I am.
It's Obama's fault.
Ted Cruz's father conspired with Lee Harvey Oswald.
I will re-build the infrastructure.
My inauguration crowd was huge. It set a record.
You're going to win so much, that you'll be tired of winning.
I know that there's so many Trump lies, about 12,000 so far.
And clearly he's not done. Unfortunately, his term doesn't end for about another 6 months.
So, lots more lies are likely on the way.
But, if you had to choose a few, which were your 'favorite' Trump lies ?

Crazy Story
about the "naked rambler" Stephen Gough.
I never heard of this guy till now.
he walked the length of Great Britain naked. But when he tried to walk it again he was arrested. Already having a string of charges for breach of the peace and offences related to public nudity.He served 10 years mostly in segregation for refusing to wear clothes. All at great to the tax payer I'm sure. He does all this as he believes it is an act of liberation and freedom.
If you agree or disagree with him. Stephen Gough's name will go down in history. He seems to me deserving of respect for simply standing by his integrity.
He has my respect and admiration. Simply for being himselfand doing all he has done to this day.
Here's to you Stephen Gough.

Dying Breed
It won’t happen in our lifetimes but I find it interesting that the racial category I will call Anglo for purposes of this blog will, in a few hundred years, be statistically extinct.
It is already incredibly challenging to find population percentages for the race that combined the Celts, Saxons, Vikings, Romans and Normans to produce the Anglos – that ever-bubbling melting pot of people who played a huge role in world history because of their insatiable desire to travel to other parts of the world, meet new people and, usually, try to convert, kill, or enslave them.
Those stroppy islanders had particularly significant impact in North America, Australia, and large swathes of Africa (usually butting heads with pesky Europeans in territory disputes along the way) but now we are ourselves vanishing into the melting pots of the world – we have close to negative population growth, and the majority of those producing busily on these shores are immigrant populations or mixed.
What, you read this far? Have a coffee!
there are comments coming up with more fascinating statistics for you. It’s like a school day. Yay!
I'm particularly interested to see how many have a kneejerk reaction that this is a racist blog. It isn't. It is simply about a race of people who affected the world. Most of them happened to be a whiter shade of pale, falling into a much bigger demographic (see comments)
The song is completely irrelevant, apart from the title. Not a bad song, though.

Why failure can be good and in some cases great...
I dedicate this blog to a friend.
We all fail at something in our life, but how many times does that short term pain turn into long term gain? The answer is more times than you could imagine.....take a look
Oprah Winfrey was fired from WJZ-TV for being too "emotionally involved" with the stories she reported. She has since gone on to be one of the most famous and rich personalities in the world
Vincent Van Gogh only sold ONE painting out of 900 in his life
Lady Gaga got dropped by a major record label after only 3 months
Steven Spielberg was denied by USC'S prestigious film school not once but twice
Michael Jordon was rejected from his high school varsity basketball team
Dr. Seuss first childrens book And to think I saw it on Mulberry Street was refused by 27 publishers
Ang Lee failed Taiwan's college exam TWICE.....THIS ONE'S FOR MY FRIEND
All these people went on to achieve great success in their lives because they believed in themselves and were persistent in their paths
When you get a 90 on an exam and you got one wrong isn't that the one you always remember?
Anyone have any similar experiences?
