spare body parts and telomeres

now that i am soon to reach a certain age where i am told that i should not tell my age i am wishing for a few spare body parts stashed away that i can use as needed. like new ears. the last docotor...who i shall not return to...did not help my ear. i found out from the real ear doctor that i have a fungus in my ear. it seems a hearing aid creates a closed system of nice warm moist stuff just right for a fungus. sigh more meds and a return next wednesday. now if the solved the problem of the ends of the telomeres falling off and people loosing part of their instruction codes i wouldn't have to worry about the spare body parts. lets see.... what else should i replace?

fighting pink

well, except for a black photographer who doesn't have to come to meetings.... the yearbook staff is all girls. save us from themes about rainbows and dreams. and layouts like cosmo!

silliness

how often do we know what is really going on and just close our eyes. ha! the kids were treated to a movie last night for evening entertainment. it was a cute idea. psuedo drive in movie theatre. shark tales was shown agains the wall of the old gym with the kids sitting on benches and couches and chairs draged out of the boys dorm. my favorite was the inner tube. plenty of off was available to discourage the bugs. christmas tree lights ran up the sort of aisle and over the posts that had the electrical outlets on it to keep people from hitting the post while walking in the dark....or was it to shed just a little light on the couples. some brought out blankets even though it was at least 70. were they to wrap couples in? .....alas that was forbidden...maybe it was to keep the bugs off. still it was dark and people sitting close together ... plenty of opportunity..for a little touching. they know it and certainly staff knows it. nothing serious of course, but it is always exiting if you think you are getting away with something.
