  1. Targetting Older People

    by , 04-06-2022 at 12:10 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    I have noticed that advertisers seem to have no respect for the intelligence and knowledge of people of retirement age and older. The products advertised for seniors assume that the seniors are either in poor health or mentally retarded. And I can’t forget that woman with the creaky voice who tells us that she has fallen and can’t get up.

    There must be people who buy such things, but they probably were taken in by fraudulent advertising when they were younger also, so they probably ...

  3. The Inutility of Higher Education

    by , 04-02-2022 at 11:20 AM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    I am not completely against higher education, but it has little or no value for most people, and it may even have negative value in some cases. This is not something that was on my mind, but it came to mind while was thinking about recent adventures in the medical industry. I have plenty of respect for any of the people in the medical industry, but I think that they waste a lot of time in classrooms, when it comes down to what may be useful in the business. It isn’t just that one of the physicians ...

  4. At Last We Meet

    by , 03-27-2022 at 06:21 PM (Barmy Blue's Bland Blog)
    We have covid. It's been about a week.
    I noticed my Mum was a bit stuffy on Thursday. Getting a cold over the weekend. We went to the vet to get Yuki's teeth looked at. It looks like the gum is exploding slowly. It started as a little hole and kept going. We know her teeth are rotten but surgery is a huge risk so really we've been waiting for the point that the vet says that's it this MUST be done and we've mentioned it over the phone as it's progressed but this is the first time she's been ...

  5. Medical Communications

    by , 03-11-2022 at 08:57 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    For the last few years, I have had more contact with the medical professionals than in earlier years, and I have learned some interesting things about those people. For one thing, they are are a varied bunch. They all went through medical school and so on, but they are humans and show the kind of variation that all humans do. Many of the medical practitioners that I have met, I like, and some of them I would call friends. Unfortunately, trying to communicate with them in regard to medical matters ...
