Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / November 2007OTP: From the Readers' Digest
Saw this in the Readers' Digest and thought you might get a kick out of it. "Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." Ellen Goodman in the Boston Globe DeeTee funny, and so true. . . unless like me you work at home in your sweats. :-) diane How true this is! The best part of my life since going on disability and then retirement is no longer having to buy panty hose. Living in jeans and tee shirts is not a bad deal at all. Ann > How true this is!

Living in > jeans and tee shirts is not a bad deal at all. > Ann I'm with you on that one, Ann! That and the fact that we no longer need a wardrobe just for work. Now I just buy play clothes :-))) Carole Ain't that the truth! Gwen > Saw this in the Readers' Digest and thought you might get a kick out of > it.

Ellen Goodman in the Boston Globe DeeTee <smiling> and then you wear out the clothes and the car, and the house becomes a little frayed around the edges, so you start the buying process all over again and have to keep the job to do that. dang! no wonder people can't afford to retire! kate (thinking . . . strange world . . . considering that we start out in it naked and jobless. there's gotta be some kind of hidden wisdom offered in our beginnings.<g>) |
