- 09/24/08 - "When Julie Andrews Turned 69":
Oh, I love the "no need for sinning" phrase. I was laughing out loud for real when I read this. I will pass it along.
When Julie
Andrews Turned 69 - This is hysterical!
To commemorate her 69th
birthday, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at
Manhattan's Radio City Musi
(Sing
It!) -
If you sing it, it’s especially hysterical!!!
Maalox and nose drops and
needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my
favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
(Ms. Andrews received a
standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated
encores. Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would
appreciate it.)
Thanks,
Frances!

From ArcaMax Publishing - Health and Fitness - 09/27/08 - "Lifelong Health: Study: Depression Common But Often Neglected Illness ":
Health and Fitness
Dr. David Lipschitz
A study released by
the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated that in any two-week
period, 5 percent of Americans age 12 and older have depression. And while
nearly every single adult has either directly or indirectly felt the destructive
forces of depression, this debilitating and rampant illness still carries a
major
social stigma.
Depression is still viewed as a severe weakness, a character flaw and a
condition regarded with much derision. Symptoms are hidden, ignored and made
worse by loved ones who do not understand the challenges of someone with
depression.
Although depression affects children and adults across all social spectrums, the
CDC report revealed that it is more common in women, baby boomers, blacks and
those who live in poverty. Of those who are depressed, over 80 percent report an
impaired ability to get things done at work and at home and difficulty
interacting normally with others.
The study also revealed that only 29 percent of individuals affected by
depression sought help from a mental health professional in the past year and of
those with very severe
symptoms of depression only 39 percent had sought treatment.
With millions of Americans, young and old, facing depression these statistics
are truly astronomical. If seven out of 10 Americans affected by depression
refuse to seek help, we are facing a
serious health care crisis.
But unlike heart disease, cancer or obesity, this crisis is largely ignored. The
American health care system
simply is not adequately addressing the real problems of depression.
Reimbursement for care is woefully inadequate and many physicians are too quick
to prescribe pills and medications without addressing the root causes.
Depression is a disease; it is not something that you deserve or "asked for."
Most importantly, depression is imminently treatable. Major depression is an
episodic illness that may or may not be precipitated by a serious personal
problem such as a death in the family, being fired or getting a divorce.
Many recover completely without ever having another episode, although a history
of depression is a major risk factor for another episode. To be diagnosed with
depression a patient must have two or more of the following symptoms for at
least two weeks that interfere with the ability of the person to function
normally. Symptoms include: having a depressed, sad or irritable mood,
lack of interest in normal
activities, an impaired ability to feel pleasure, feelings of guilt and
worthlessness and thoughts of suicide or death, difficulties making decisions or
concentrating, fatigue,
lack of energy, worry, restlessness, insomnia or increased sleepiness,
changes in appetite and significant reductions of activity.
Many patients suffer from a more chronic form of depression called
dysthymia. This condition is often present for two or more years and is
characterized by a generalized depressed mood or "feeling glum or pessimistic."
Dysthymia is associated with a variety of physical symptoms including weight
loss or gain, insomnia or too much sleep,
chronic fatigue,
low self esteem, poor concentration, difficulty making decisions and a
feeling of hopelessness
Although much more chronic and pervasive, dysthymia is now recognized as a major
risk factor for suicide, heart disease and cancer as well as impaired work
performance and family relationships. If battling another illness, patients who
are depressed are less likely to respond to treatment or recover from disease.
If you or someone you know suffers from depression, seek help. Your physician or
a psychiatrist will likely prescribe antidepressants that are highly effective
and often will lead to complete recovery. But treatment must involve more than
medications.
Whether your depression is episodic, situational, or more chronic, developing
personal coping strategies
can greatly help.
Helpguide.org offers
these positive tips. First, cultivate supportive relationships. Share what you
are feeling with a trusted friend or loved one. Second, take care of yourself.
Adopt healthy habits and do things that you enjoy. Third, get regular exercise.
Exercise is a powerful tool in combating depression. Finally, seek help from a
qualified psychotherapist. A counselor can help determine what other therapy
options might be effective or appropriate.
With endless options to help Americans cope with depression, it is a serious
mistake to ignore, avoid, or deny symptoms. We all know someone affected by this
terrible illness, so please do your part to end the stigma and change the way we
view depression.

From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 09/27/08 - "PITY THE DC AIRLINE TICKET
AGENT":
PITY THE DC AIRLINE TICKET AGENT
A Washington, DC airline ticket agent offers some examples of why our country is
in trouble!
1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her hair
wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)
2. I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to Capetown. I
started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, then
she interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown
is in Massachusetts.''
Without trying to make her look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in
Massachusetts; Capetown is in Africa.''
Her response - click.
3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we did.
I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando.
He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not
possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, ''Don't lie
to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, ''Is it possible to see
England from Canada?'' I said, ''No.'' She said, ''But they look so close on
the map.''
(OMG, again!)
5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could rent a car in
Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had only a 1-hour layover
in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard
Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save
time.'' (Aghhhh)
6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how it was
possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at
8:33 a.m. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she
couldn't understand the concept of time zones.
Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.
7. A New York lawmaker called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical
description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?''
I said, 'No, why do you ask?'
She replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my
luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''
After putting her on hold for a minute, while I looked into it (I was laughing),
I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, CA is FAT (Fresno Air
Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage.
8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After
going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to
California, and then take the train to Hawaii?''
9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked, ''How do I
know which plane to get on?''
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight
number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''
10. A lady Senator called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, Florida. Do
I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''
I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter plane.
He said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''
11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he needed in
order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passport s, I reminded
him that he needed a visa. '
'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of
those.''
I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this
he said, ''Look, I've been to China four times, and every time they have
accepted my American Express!''
12. A New Mexico Congress woman called to make reservations, ''I want to go from
Chicago to Rhino, New York.''
I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of
the town?''
''Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the lady.
After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every
airport code in the country and can't find a "Rhino" anywhere."
''The lady retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check
your map!' So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''
You don't mean Buffalo, do you?''
The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''
Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in! Could anyone be
this DUMB?
YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED!
Oh, but I've always wanted to
visit Pepsi-Cola, Florida! Thanks,
Ruthie!

Feed the Birds
Words and Music
by the
Sherman Brothers (Richard
M. Sherman and
Robert B. Sherman)
Featured in the 1964 motion picture,
Mary Poppins, it is reputed to have been
Walt Disney's
favorite song.
Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In her own special way to the people she call,
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs;
Come feed the little birds,
Show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry
Their nests are so bare
All it takes is tuppence from you
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
Feed the birds," that's what she cries
While overhead, her birds fill the skies
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it,
You know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares
Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"
