THE POETRY OF SENIORS

Another year has passed

and we're all a little older.

Last summer felt hotter

and winter seems much colder

 

I rack my brain for happy thoughts.

to put down on my pad.

But lots of things that come to mind

just make me kind of sad.

 

There was a time long ago

when life was quite a blast.

Now I fully understand

about "Living in the Past".

 

We used to go to friends homes,

football games and lunches.

Now we go to therapy, to hospitals,

and after - funeral brunches.

 

We used to go out  dining,

and couldn't get our fill.

Now we ask for doggie bags,

come home and take a pill.

 

We used to often travel

to places near and far.

Now we get backaches

from riding in the car.

 

We used to go out shopping

for new clothing at the Mall

But, now we never bother.....

all the sizes are too small.

 

That, my friend is how life is,

and now my tale is told.

So, enjoy each day and live it up...

before you're too darn old!!

WHAT WILL ANOTHER 100 YEARS BRING

Subject: The Year is 1916:

 This will boggle your mind!

 The year is 1916 "One hundred years ago."

 What a difference a century makes!

 Here are some statistics for the Year 1916:

 The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.

 

 Fuel for cars was sold in drug stores only.

 Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

 

 Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

 

 The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

  The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower.

 

 The average US wage in 1910 was 22 cents per hour.

 The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year.

 

 A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year.

 A dentist $2,500 per year.

 

 A veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year.

 And, a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.

 More than 95 percent of all births took place at home

 Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!

 

 Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which were

 condemned in the press AND the government as "substandard."

 

 Sugar cost four cents a pound.

 Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.

 

 Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.

 

 Most women only washed their hair once a month,

  And, used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

 Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into

 their country for any reason.

 The Five leading causes of death were:

 

 1.  Pneumonia and influenza

 

 2. Tuberculosis

 

 3. Diarrhea

 

 4. Heart disease

 5. Stroke

 The American flag had 45 stars

 The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was only 30.

 Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented yet.

 There was neither a Mother's Day nor a Father's Day.

 Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write

 And, only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.

 Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at

 local corner drugstores.

 Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives

 buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach, bowels, and is, in fact,

 a perfect guardian of health!"                 (Shocking?)

 Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or

 domestic help...

 There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !

 It is impossible to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.

IPHONE 7 AND SECURITY

Apple pulls online Activation Lock tool The status check page could reportedly be used to steal valid iPhone and iPad serial numbers from Apple device owners. Mobile by Carrie Mihalcik January 30, 2017.  

iPhone 7 may break Apple's losing streak With Apple's Activation Lock checker gone, you'll have to exercise a little more diligence with used  Apple's devises online tool meant to help prevent the use of lost or stolen iPhones may have actually aided phone thieves . Apple has removed the Check Activation Lock Status page from iCloud.com. The change was noted Sunday by MacRumors . The page let people check the status of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch by plugging in the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number or serial number. Introduced in iOS 7, Activation Lock is security feature meant to prevent the use of lost or stolen devices. Someone buying a used iPhone or iPad, for example, could request the serial number and use Apple's status page to verify that Activation Lock was turned off. If the device was still locked, or the seller refused to give a serial number, there's a chance it was stolen. In other words, major red flag. Apple hasn't said why it pulled the site, but MacRumors suggested it could be linked to a scheme that lets hackers steals valid serial numbers from existing iOS users . Hackers could plug an invalid IMEI into Apple's online tool and change one or two characters until they found a serial number that was functional. That serial number, which belongs to a legitimate Apple device owner, could then be used to unlock a previously bricked iPhone or iPad. The hack could explain complaints from iPhone 7 owners who found their new devices inexplicably locked to another Apple ID account, according to MacRumors. Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Does the Mac still matter? Apple execs tell why the MacBook Pro was over four years in the making, and why we should care

MORE SCAMS TO BE AWARE OF

(NEWSER) – If you get a phone call from an unfamiliar number and someone asks whether you can hear them, you may want to just hang up. The Better Business Bureau is warning people about the "Can You Hear Me?" scam, in which people are recorded answering "yes," WDTN reports. That recording can be used to sign victims up for a product or service, and the scammers then demand to be paid, using the recorded "yes" as supposed confirmation of an agreement. "I know that people think it’s impolite to hang up, but it’s a good strategy," a consumer protection expert tells CBS. Another option? Don't answer the phone for unfamiliar numbers at all—scammers don't often leave voicemails.

The BBB's official recommendation: If you get any unsolicited robocalls, hang up. If you're on the Do Not Call list and you still end up on the phone with a company asking any questions (other examples: "Are you the homeowner?" or "Do you pay the household telephone bill?"), don't say "yes," "sure," or "OK," and don't press any buttons—even if a recorded message is telling you to press a button to be placed on the Do Not Call list. If in fact it is a scammer on the line, any sort of response, whether verbal or a button press, will just confirm your phone number is indeed active. If you think you've been targeted, write down the phone number and file a scam report with the BBB's Scam Tracker and the FTC's Do Not Call list—and check your credit card and other accounts for unwanted charges.
