Over-Rated Tourist Attractions
I just saw, on a web posting at Yahoo Travel, entitled "U.S.'s Most Over-Rated Tourist Attractions," this little blurb...
Some of the places on my list are well-known tourist traps, but not all tourist traps are a waste of time (the Empire State Building, Mount Rushmore and Niagara Falls are all well worth a look).Well, I've got to tell you that I
agree that the Empire State Building is worth a look-see, and Niagara Falls is something else again, but Mount Rushmore was one of the biggest wastes of time I've ever experienced. If you've ever seen a photo of the mountain carving, you've seen Mount Rushmore. 30-seconds is all it takes.There were far more tourists wandering around in the gift shop than wandering the grounds to stare at the sculpture from the 6-or-so observation points.
But that's just my point of view.

Elvis Sings For The Elderly
ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT? (Senior Citizen Version) Are you lonesome tonight? Does your memory stray, Is your hairline receding? Does your back give you pain? Is your blood pressure up? All that oat bran and fruit, If it's football or baseball, So your gallbladder's gone, When you're hungry, he's not, When you turn out the light, He was once so romantic, So don't take any bets, It's as good as it gets, Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
Does your tummy feel tight?
Did you bring your mylanta and tums?
To that bright sunny day,
When you had all your teeth and your gums?
Your eyes growing dim?
Hysterectomy for her,
And its prostate for him.
Do your knees predict rain?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
Good cholesterol down?
Are you eating your low fat cuisine?
Metamucil to boot.
Helps you run like
A well oiled machine.
He sure knows the score.
Yes, he knows where it's at
But forgets what it's for.
But your gout lingers on,
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
When you're cold, he is hot,
Then you start that old thermostat war.
He goes left and you go right,
Then you get his great symphonic snore.
So witty and smart;
How did he turn out to be such
A cranky old fart?
Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building.l is

Helpful Hints - Peanut Butter
Top 10- unusual uses for peanut butter
9. Animal medicine: If you own a cat or a dog, you will know how hard it can be to get them to take their medication – especially when it is in pill form. Fortunately cats and dogs love peanut butter – so next time you have to give them some medication, mix it up with a spoonful and feed it to them. No more struggling with the animal as you hold its mouth open and try to force feed it a bitter pill.

Young Love
A Syracuse couple has been married for 75 years. A grandson had the billboard above put up in the downtown area. But the best part of the article in the Syracuse newspaper concerning the anniversary, was the couple's descriptions of why their marriage had worked...
For Connie, togetherness creates a deep definition of love. "We do everything I can think of together. You get to know each other as the years go by," Connie said. "As days and years go by, I feel closer than I did when I first got married. He's a part of me and I pray I'm as much a part of him."My wife and I have only been married 40 years, but our success is based on my own mastery of two little words - "Yes, dear."
Sam defines love differently. "You just kept your mouth shut," he joked.
