3 Senior Corner Just mature Today at the drugstore, the clerk was a gent. From my purchase this chap took off ten percent. I asked for the cause of a lesser amount; And he answered, Because of the Seniors Discount. I went to McDonald s for a burger and fries; And there, once again, got quite a surprise. The clerk poured some coffee which he handed to me. He said, For you, Seniors, the coffee is free. Understand I m not old I m merely mature; But some things are changing, temporarily, I m sure. The newspaper print gets smaller each day, And people speak softer can t hear what they say. My teeth are my own (I have the receipt, and my glasses identify people I meet. (8739 Oh, I ve slowed down a bit...not a lot, I am sure. You see, I m not old...i m only mature. The gold in my hair has been bleached by the sun. You should see all the damage that chlorine has done. Washing my hair has turned it all white, But don t call it gray...saying blond is just right. My car is all paid for...not a nickel is owed. Yet a kid yells, Old duffer...get off of the road! My car has no scratches...not even a dent. Still I get all that guff from a punk who s Hell bent. My friends all get older...much faster than me. They seem much more wrinkled, from what I can see. I ve got character lines, not wrinkles...for sure, But don t call me old...just call me mature. Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (source: Quaker Oats cereal 1 cup (2 sticks margarine or butter, softened 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt (optional 3 cups Quaker Oaks (quick or old fashioned, uncooked 1 cup raisins 1. Heat oven to Beat together margarine and sugars until creamy. 3. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat well. 4. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well. 5.Stir in oats and raisins. Mix well. 6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. 7. Bake minutes or until golden brown. 8. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack. Makes about 4 dozen. Bar Cookies: bake mintues in ungreased 13X9 metal baking pan. HINT: Cook raisins in water for about 3 minutes. They will pump up. Drain and add to mixture. The steps in the houses they re building today Are so high that they take...your breath all away; And the streets are much steeper than ten years ago. That should explain why my walking is slow. But I m keeping up on what s hip and what s new, And I think I can still dance a mean boogaloo. I m still in the running...in this I m secure, I m not really old... I m only mature. In January and February, we contributed 86 inkjets to Redeemer s youth program. The total is now 306. Please continue to send them to CD. Thanks. Page 3

4 Thank You Dear Local 1950 Thank you so very much for the certificate to the Lobster my favorite place to eat. This past year has been a whirlwind. Car accidentsurgery-moving-becoming a grandma and retiring. I m looking forward to 4-wheeling and kyacking at our new home in Republic. Sincerly, Joan (Dupra My cousin s husband sent this to me. pz Family & Friends: I recently renewed my membership in the National Wildlife Federation and now receive both, the magazine and news on their web site. The latest web site story has a fascinating item I would recommend you check out. Go to There is a theory that everyone on Earth is connected by no more than six degrees of separation (or six friends of friends of friends. Is the same true for wildlife? Find out how the animals of the Northern Forest are connected to each other and to other North American Wildlife through Nature s Web! Those of you who have children and grandchildren should be sure they see this. A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and says, My dog s cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him? (6493 Well, says the vet, let s have a look at him. So he picks up the dog and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says I m going to have to put him down. WHAT? Because he s crosseyed? No, because he s really heavy.

5 2004 Stellar Awards The Stellas are named after 81 year old Stella Liebeck who spilled coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald s. That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most frivolous successful lawsuits in the United States. Unfortunately the most recent lawsuit implicating McDonald s, the teens who allege that eating at McDonald s has made them fat, was filed after the 2003 award voting was closed. Remember, these are juries of our peers who decide the outcome, ( 6253 not the lawyers or judges.this Year s Awards Go To... 5th Place (tied: Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $780,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was runing inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving toddler was Ms. Robertson s son. 5th Place (tied: 19 year old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently did not notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal the hubcaps. 5th Place (tied: Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He could not re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for 8 days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner s insurance, claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000. 4th Place: Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor s Beagle dog. The Beagle was on a chain in its owner s fenced yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been a little provoked at the time as Mr. Williams, who had climbed over the fence into the yard, was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun. 3rd Place: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone. The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier, during an argument. 2nd Place: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a Night Club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked 2 front teeth. This occurred while Ms.Walton was trying to sneak in the window of the Ladies Room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses. 1st Place: This year s runaway winner was Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new Winnebago Motorhome. On his trip home from an OU football game, having driven onto the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver s seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the owner s manual that he could not actually do this. The jury awarded him $1,750,000 plus a new Winnebago Motorhome. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit just in case there were any other complete morons buying their recreational vehicles. The real morons are the people on these juries! Page 5
