Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for February 22, 2025

Let us not talk ‘rrhoids. Doctor’s dialogue to me, “I’m going to honest. Surgery can be very, very painful.”

Yah sells what yah audience is buyin’!

Not something to sit down and read, eh.

An article on hemorrhoids, an article on co-workers……tomato, tomatoe

Sigh. . . at 71 I’ve had to give up on hot sauce. My song used to be Johnny Cash’s “Burning Ring Of Fire.” Not any more. . . I like hot sauce, butt some things aren’t worth the pain.

Had that surgery done 40 years ago.

I was 17 when I noticed a copy of “Modern Maturity” somewhere. I had no idea what it was so I picked it up to look, and was absolutely horrified when I saw it catered to OLD PEOPLE! Oh my lord, I didn’t want anything to do with that, ever! Now being 72, I tend to have a slightly different outlook, plus the so-called “old people” don’t seem to be as old anymore. What ever happened to that magazine, or at least that title? We’re members of AARP now but the magazine we get is “AARP – The Magazine”.
