    Seniors and reality

    I don't have the time to answer. Am way too busy. Fate will take care of everything. It is always on-duty.

    A Boeing whistle blower found dead the day he was due to give testimony

    So often it happens that truth is repressed this way. Should raise sirens and alarms so that investigations are pressed harder and deeper than had he lived. But, probably the story of his death alone will be all that will be said. And, that soon forgotten and swept away.

    How much of a tourist are you?

    I've traveled the many states of the western U.S.: California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Washington state, and Oregon. Have never visited anywhere else. And, yes, it is true that if you speak the language of the locals (as I do) the places you visit are much more interesting...

    Things you won't find anymore...

    Chocolate Extract or flavoring. I've found such as vanilla of all sorts, anise, and believe it or not root beer at my local grocery. But no chocolate. Chocolate cake mix tastes nothing like the chocolate cake mom used to make. So add a dash of extract? Find some. So instead I put chocolate...

    How much of a tourist are you?

    That does seem to be the habit of the 'locals' everywhere. I've never been to the Hollywood sign nor walked Hollywood Boulevard. And, I've only gone to the Rose Parade when touring families from out of town went there and wanted a 'native' to escort them. I wonder why it is that the natives...

    How much of a tourist are you?

    I haven't been a tourist for so long that I can't remember the last time I was one. I'd like to learn how to become one once more, though.

    Cigarettes have increased to £16.00 per pack of twenty

    I suppose this is a method to get people who smoke to stop smoking, and prevent those thinking about trying it from doing so. Seems to be a very effective tool to use for those goals.

    Do You Watch Any Animated Programing?

    Check out MeTV.com. You may have an antenna channel in your location. I watch Toony & Me each morning at 7 am in my location. It has Woody Wood Pecker, Popeye, Merrie Melodies, MGM, Universal, cartoons of old on. It is a curated show by a fellow named Bill who really knows his stuff about...

    Can you still sleep through the night?

    Reduced bladder size as you age. And, in some, reduced ability to hold it longer. As I've suggested in my comment, reduce your fluid intake. If you can't, then tapper off your intake as you near your bedtime. For example, do your intake with your first and second meals. Stop thereafter...
