EIGHTY-ONE AND STILL WITH A BUCKET LIST.

I guess it was about when I turned 50 and heading over the hill, that I sat back one day......just to see what I actually have done with my life, how far ahead or behind times I was and what I intended to do to make things interesting ................in my old age.
I came to the conclusion that building a "bucket list" might be the way to go, just to be able to keep my mind working. I believe there were perhaps 10 or 12 things that started this list. Now at 81 I have 3 remaining things, two of which I guess I will never be able to do but one that I am working on now.

The two remaining that I just don't think I will ever be able to handle are:

1. participation in the iron man run

2. running with the bulls............unless they were bulldog puppies.
Now that my bucket list has been noted, we will continue on with other things.

WHY AM I CONFUSED?????

I must admit, this can be interpreted as political, but don't take it so serious. This actually started during the Bush years when dubya said that he had looked into Putin's eyes and could see..............."something" Now with all the nonsense from the present administration I ...............opened my face book one day and found the following posting. Now, the question is simply.............how is going to be related to anything?  I just don't have a reasonable answer. I just want to be able to accomplish understanding why people can't figure things out by thinking for themselves.

"   If you take your age
add it to the year you were born
you will get 2017
this happens only once in 1000 years."


I looked at this and began to wonder..................is this REALLY FACT or is it like 90% of the stuff on face book ................exaggeration?  What will happen if I post this , will other people wonder also or will they check it out? I did this with that one thought in mind, "How can people believe all the nonsense we  hear about the administration and still think we got the best slice of bread" My attempt is to basically see if my brain is still active or do I need rubber walls in my house.    Now, I have heard back from some people I consider a hell of a lot smarter than me  but from one that actually showed me something that most people will miss.  Just goes to show you that you can come to good reasoning if you stop for a second think about the problem and CHECK IT out.  Perhaps Trump would have a lot less votes.  It certainly is NOT my intention to make this blog a political writing.  I understand totally, that people did not like Clinton, and that's ok,   I also understand that people were searching for change and that too is ok.  What I don't understand is the lack of voters to totally checkout the correctness in statements candidates made about themselves or other candidates..................... We know that ALL politicians will make all kinds of statements whether true or not.  It is OUR responsibility to prove it correct or incorrect. This past election, this was not done and so we find ourselves in this situation with what I personally consider a poor administration.
Now, back to the original question.  Did you read it carefully?  did you try it? did it work? did you try to disprove the thought? or did you simply accept it and pass it on.  Hopefully , depending on which point you stopped at will  prove how far you actually went to select a candidate that was good for YOU...........but is he?  

things related to the question you should have found.


...(1) It only works if you've already had your birthday this year. (2) Will only work once EVER, unless you have another 2017 in your future. (3) You will always get the year you are presently in when you add the year you were born and your age.,and only after the birthday for that year.



Have a nice day. Check back for more .
