Buy ticket.

I lived there and loved it. Too late to start over in my old country. If I could buy a ticket and stay I would. Are you enjoying America right now???

What’ll make you laugh will make you cry.

in reply to @annewoodmayo Thanks for the note. I am not sure what my neighbor thinks anymore. When she called about the sign I did ask if she knew what it meant, and she applied in the affirmative. When I asked her "why don't you want to seize the day" she replied that that was"my stuff, not hers." I suspect that her problem lies within herself. I do not look like the epitome of good health, but I am as active as possible. Building things, gardening, painting, etc. She sits alone in her apartment all day long looking online for whatever diagnosis she can find to explain her problems, which are many. I sympathize with her only because I think her situation is a sad one at best. I mentioned that last summer I told her that if she kept telling herself that she could not walk, she would not. Consciousness manifests, dominant thoughts prevail, is my mantra, and the last time I said this to her, she kicked me out of her apartment. Prior to this, we were friends. She monitors all of my actions. Just this morning while I was outside pressing some plants from my garden, I said aloud, " I am so tired of all of these iatrogenic problems, that I might just give up." Then I said, "no, I will make another sign, "Habet spem." Now, I know she does not know Latin, and just because I feel the way I do today, I just might set that sign on top of the fence and see what happens.

I like your mantra. We become what we think of most of the time. When mentioning France some kind soul told me to "Go buy a ticket". Nice. Have to chuckle and asked if he was happy with the way this country is headed...or something to that effect. Oh well. It is, unfortunately, what it is.

"No matter how bad one's day can ever be, it's still better than having no day at all". I truly appreciate my team at Mayo for giving me another day.

...oh dear that was a rude reply, but maybe it's the way you worded that statement initiated the ticket comment? sometimes emails and comments get misinterpreted as to our actual intended meaning.... J.

Well, perhaps I misstook his/her telling me to buy a ticket. I took that to mean get the heck out of this country. I would if I could. Too many years on this Lady to move to a new country, perhaps. Having said that I am checking out living in Costa Rica. Beautiful tropical country, stable and inexpensive to live there. Un American? My choice and my life with my husband. The corruption I see make me ill. Inflation, crime, traffic, safety and so much more. I am tired of this mess. Again, having ranted on about the above we live in a beautiful home in a Country Club community complete with are own pool, lanai and two loving Cavalier King Charles dogs. I am blessed and angry all at the same time. It's Sunday and I sound like a brat. Sorry. "J"

Thanks for the post, Lacy2.
