| THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!
We Must Stop This Immediately !
Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper . Groceries are heavier . And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!
 And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader?
 I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me.
 I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection . . Well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
 Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
 Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?
 I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there!
All I can do is pass along this warning:
WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!
Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!
 PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has happened to my computer's fonts - they are smaller than they once were.
Live and enjoy today because tomorrow is not promised!

I've noticed this myself - you're on to something BIG here, Alphonse.
Scary isn't it Lin
BTW, those "young-farts" who whisper and snigger-around when I'm "out of earshot" end up quite embarrassed, and humble in the end---because, though I'm not completely DEAF, I am quite good at lip-reading! Actually, I'm one of those who literally CAN'T hear without my glasses on! I prefer lip-reading, fewer mistaken messages for me........!
And YES, I caught the HUMOR in this post, I ain't THAT bad off yet!!!
So that's what's been happening to us. Those darn kids today. Why do they have to mess with our minds?
Bruno"I'm on my way to DEAF also or so my family says. I say they just speakvery quietly. Glad you caught the humour. I knew you weren't that bad off------YET
LOL
Babzy: the young can be just so mean. I'm glad I was never like that.ROFL
That's so funny. Bruno, I am also one of those who can't hear without my glasses. If the phone rings I have to put on my glasses to hear the caller.
And why do we wear glasses? The betterto hear you with.
Alphonse I've found something else. For some strange reason (maybe I should clean my glasses?) your pictures in this article all came with the dreaded red x in a box. Couldn't get them to show up even by right clicking. Were they jpegs?
Cat: I have no idea why pictures didn't show up.
