| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 1984, actress Elizabeth Taylor was voted to be the world's most beautiful woman in a Louis Harris poll; at the time she was in the Betty Ford Clinic overcoming a weight problem. What do you make of these opinion polls? Are they really worth anything, or are they just something for people to talk about? Just who are these people being polled? Do they volunteer to answer questions, or rate things? How are they selected? Do they fully comprehend English, or the language of the poll? Do they really stop to think, and consider before making a selection? Are they hurried and harassed? How many voters are considered enough to form a consensus? I dislike phone call polls. No, I do not want to reveal who I may, or may not be voting into political office. I consider this a waste of resources and manpower. They rate with unwanted phone sales. If I wanted a sweet deal on bulk light bulbs, I'd search for a sale when I was ready. No, I'm not interested in booking a holiday at this moment. Your random, irritating call will not change my mind. Yes, I am aware that such a thing as a credit card exists, but I was not sitting around wishing I had another one, and thinking my life was lacking without this one. I am not impressed with opinion polls. They contain nothing necessary. What, or why do I care about the opinions of others? These polls' subjects seem to star in gossip magazines, and shady newspapers. I'm certain not everyone in the entire world was consulted and asked if they believed Elizabeth Taylor to be the most beautiful woman. I for one never took part in this survey. |
