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 32 waisted

pant as 40? 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.



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

Thats happening in NZ too Dot, Wonder what we can do about it....Could be something to do with the greenhouse effects and we have a shortage of juvenal fish stocks...

... and as for this global warming nonsense, I never needed an electric blanket before, it's getting colder I tell you, not warmer..... well except for the other day when the sun came out... and that's another thing....... buggerit, forgotten what it was now.... but just remember that I complained about it first

And, everything is (1) farther away.

You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto
the freeway in (2)front of them.

(1) I can vouch for that as my toenails might as well be off limits as they are definitely out of reach.

(2) Returning from a funeral today during peak hour traffic on the *worst road in Sydney, opportunist abound. You leave a bit of room for breaking (wet weather) and every moslem in the country thinks it's an invitation to penetrate!

dawg (who literally hates [vomit/spew] Sydney traffic)

*Castle Hill Road to Pennant Hills Road

And they are trying to impersonate us as well. This morning I brushed my teeth and fixed my hair and when I looked in the mirror there was this old grey haired bloke looking back at me. I told him to bugger off out of my house and when I took off my glasses and had another look, everything was OK. There was just me in the room.

I went to the loo and I was sure someone else was in there as well, there was a horrid smell and I asked "who did that"? and someone replied "Not me"
