plagerism rolls on and on...

I have nothing against plagerism....in fact it was my constant companion in college and I practically owe my degree to it...BUT when I found my own plagerized work featured in someone's facebook post.....hey! give credit where it's due, dude!  ok..you must have so totally identified with it that it resonated to your very core and the sound just had to be heard!!! I get it,  really I do.  Now I'll discuss something that is truly original...just the thoughts that float in and out of my semi-consciousness.  We use the phrase "spend your Life" as if it were something like money.  Think about it. Spending your life watching TV and in the end having nothing to show for your life. Or...spending your life doing something for others and having a legacy to leave behind. A life really "well spent".  Here in Micro World it is so evident.  Some people are wonderful and amazing, and others are self-centered, and sometimes just caustic...a real irritant.  I realize that "old age" has nothing to do with their personalities.  The selfish prima donas were probably selfish all their lives and the wonderful people were always super people.  It all comes down to how you 'spent' your life.  Now let Granny get preachy now and then....that's what we old timers are best at. By the way, there is a little plagerism in this, but I'll never tell where it is.  By the way, I'm heading out to sea tomorrow on another cruise and even though it is snowing as I post this, I'll be sunning under a palm tree on a white sandy beach in a couple of days.  I won't be back to Micro World until Dec. 20th.  I'm giving you fair warning:  You are on your own for the next two weeks.  Enjoy the malls, the Santas, the bell ringers outside every store, and the insessant Christmas carolling. I raise my glass of (insert drink of choice) to you...."Nibblin' on sponge cake, watching the sun bake, all those tourists covered in oil........:
