]May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off of your thighs!

A group of seniors were sitting around at the Coffee Club talking about all their ailments.

"My arms have got so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one.

"Yes, I know," said another.

"My cataracts are so bad, I can't even see my coffee."

"I couldn't even mark an "X" at election time because my hands are so crippled," volunteered a third.

"What? Speak up! What? I can't hear you,” said one elderly lady.

“I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said one, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.

"My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy!" exclaimed another.

"I forget where I am, and where I'm going," said another.

"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, count your blessings," said a woman cheerfully ...

"Thank God we can all still drive."

Health insurance premiums

I just heard on the news that Obama signed up on his own health care plan!... Something called the Bronze plan will cost him $400 a month premiums. I wonder how many people in the workforce can/or will be able to afford that much a month out of their salaries?... I know I could not have while I was working, and for sure could not now that I am on social security.

Regarding Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by FFN

I received the following letter today. Thought you would all be interested.

Dear Member,

FriendFinder Networks Inc. (FFN) recently reached an agreement with the majority of our noteholders to substantially reduce the Company's debt. This is good news for the Company and our customers. With less debt, we can reinvest in our business and position our flagship brands for additional growth.

The agreement will be put in place through a Court process in the U.S. known as Chapter 11. Chapter 11 is a part of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that allows companies to restructure their debt, while continuing normal operations. It does not mean we are going out of business.

In fact, it will be business as usual at FFN. The process is not expected to have any impact on our users, our websites or our services. If anything, the plan is to improve the user experience by allowing FFN to increase investment in our flagship brands.

All website services will continue to function normally.

If you have any further questions, please visit www.ffn.com and review the section under "Investor Relations".

Regards,

Unai U.
FFN Networks Team

I got this recipe from a book by Laura Childs called "Stake & Eggs" a murder mystery that takes place in a small restaurant.

LEMON CORNBREAD

Ingredients

1-1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
3/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp. lemon zest

Instructions:
Cream together brown sugar, oil, sour cream and eggs is a small mixing bowl.

In a large mixing bowl, sift in flour, add baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir together and add in cornmeal.

Now pour creamed mixture into large bowl and stir until just combined. Then add lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir again.

Pour mixture into a greased 9x11 inch baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

(I had to use a 9x13 pan so should have baked only 20 minutes) but it was still quite good!

Medicare coverage

Not like me to post this kind of thing, but couldn't resist.

MEDICARE COVERAGE IN A NUTSHELL

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, 'Hello.'
'Mrs.. Sanders, please.'

'Speaking.'

'Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes
Laboratory. When your doctor sent your husband's
biopsy to the lab yesterday, a biopsy from another
Mr. Sanders arrived as well and we are now
uncertain which one is your husband's. Frankly the
results are either bad or terrible.'

'What do you mean?' Mrs. Sanders asks nervously.

'Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and
the other one tested positive for AIDS. We can't
tell which is your husband's.'

'That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again?' questioned Mrs.
Sanders.

'Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time.'

'Well, what am I supposed to do now?'

'The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere
in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him.'
