Re-reading this morning’s post, I thought it might be good to point out that my Great Uncle MacDonald lived to 102. Almost everyone else on both sides of the family made it to 95 or longer. If you’re waiting for me to expire, I suggest you don’t hold your breath. I’m in great health.

LAUGH OF THE DAY
Shippo is a recent startup online alternative shipping application, an alternative to ebay, which I’ve started using and this morning they sent me an email asking me to complete a survey that they’d pay me $10 for completing.
So, fine, I clicked the Survey link and the first question was, what gender do I “mostly associate with”? Well, there’s only two of them and you either have one, or the other, not “mostly”, but what the hell, yes, MALE. Next question: “Please enter your age”. I typed in 87. That’s my age, and up pops this message, “ERROR, the number must be 80 or less.”
Well, looks like that’s the end of the survey, no $10 for me unless I lie about my age and I haven’t done that since I was still too young to buy liquor. But I do have to thank them for a good laugh.
