And haven't you ever wondered when someone is going to disrupt a wedding by jumping up when the minister ...

But now, having reached the ripe old age of 70, I find that my issues have increased tenfold. Eyes that required bifocals have developed cataracts, tears. and displacements. Knees that just harbored arthritis require ...
