Last night they did a news clip featuring an artist posting random signs in New York promoting etticate.
Things like Pull Up Your Pants, no one wants to see your underwear.
Don't flip cigarette butts into the street.
Clean up after your horse.
While I don't have a solution for the last two, I do for the first one.
As cornerstones and future ancestors of the present youth, it falls upon us to set an example. If all senior citizens start wearing their pants at or below the crotch line we will soon be done with the bare butt I see your under britches dilemma.
Please, cotton boxers are required underneath, and a belt of some sort to be sure said xxL pants don't fall all the way to one's knees.
We know, as seasoned adults that once we start duplicating any "youth" activity, it becomes way uncool and becomes geezer. For instance, multiple ear piercings became regulation bad girl, now they are old lady.
Over size necklaces used to be hippie wear, now are anchor lady.
Don't make me think up more examples, my part timers may kick in. Words have followed the same path, like Rad, Serious, Groovy, Dude, have been replaced by way cooler words, which I haven't learned yet, but things like "dawg", and "fly", and being "down" with something are just a few.
I was trying out my new look and the guy in my life says it sends a wrong message. And he's right, no doubt. After all, its the young males doing it, so old gents, its up to you. Instead of the belt around your chest, put it down by your cheeks, you may need a safety cord just in case.
But my message is simple: Looks Stupid! Pull your pants up, kids. It looks stupid.

What is Up With That?
I read two articles that totally tell us what is important to banks:
The scandal of 528 Million Bucks going to a Solar Power company now in bankruptcy whereby the initial loan should never have been made to a company so on the brink of disaster. They say its us taxpayers who will be left holding the proverbial bag:
http://my.yahoo.com/;_ylt=AnW.PTKtwO9jOWTBfJlV7zWxulI6
and then, the story of a 101 year old lady being put out of her home in foreclosure, along with her 65 year old son, all for the want of a few housing payments and back taxes.
http://my.yahoo.com/;_ylt=AnW.PTKtwO9jOWTBfJlV7zWxulI6
Officials are now trying to help this poor family, I mean this is bad press. They claim the moral of the story is not to stick your foreclosed head in the sand. After all, the son had warnings, and notices of pending doom.
Please. The guy is keeping his sweet little mother out of a nursing home, living in a the same place she lived in for nearly 6 decades. If that isn't providing neighbor hood stability, what is? They should have their home just honorarily given to them, like a diploma is awarded by reason of pure merit.
Instead, the feds are bailing out banks, loaning out to mismanaged companies, loosing millions of dollars every day to god knows where. And this little old lady has her stuff put on the street, out of her own home. I don't get it.
When the home payments didn't appear on time, an interventionist, financial expert for little old ladies, should have appeared. The holder of this mortgage could have said, oh my goodness, we need to look into this situation.
I don't get it. Priorities, I guess.
As a taxpayer, if I'm going to be holding any bags, I prefer it to be for real people.

Love This!
Found this over at a great site for Senior Humor:
Funny thing, he has my photo on another persons blogroll, and my blog has a bird! Which one of these tweets applies? WTF?
Love ya, thanks for linking me :D
Is That How We Look?
I don't rant often, least I like to think I don't. Watching some of these new reality shows, or new Hollywood stuff, I'm a bit put out.
I mean, is that how we look? Us Older folk, do we look so feeble, treacherous, devieous, helpless, pitiful, and unable to put a decent outfit together?
I watched the movie Devil. The premise is five people all get on an elevator in an upscale part of New York, and of course the thing breaks down. The technical advisors for the group are excellent. We see realistic methods used to monitor, evaluate and attempt to rescue the people. The lights go on and off in the elevator, one by one they are murdered.
Without spoiling the ending, my gripe is about the little old lady in there. She constantly complains, wears an ugly brown pant suit and is a wallet snatcher. Now that's not the gripe. The fact an old lady could be anything but an old lady seems to amaze everyone.
Have we seen anything favoring older folks? I say we need a reality show about Retirement Centers where by once a week someone could be put on probation for wearing mismatched stuff, bringing the marshmallow bread pudding to the potluck, or fighting with the neighbors. People can be voted in or voted out of the group home. We could have make overs and sweep stakes.
What I'm saying is, with all the bad press, how are we supposed to want to grow old?
