What has happened to our country that we can house, clothe, feed and provide health care to immigrants streaming across our borders illegally, forgive student loans that should have had an expectation they needed to be paid back, but not support and provide assistance for those who served our country and have never asked for anything? Seems this administration has a lot of "free money" to give, but not in the right places. He has never asked for a dime from our government and now could use some help. This is ridiculous, as he served 70 years ago. The last correspondence we received from the VA stated they needed more evidence, such as buddy letters, letters written during war, photos, etc. After retrieving records and completing many forms we are still at a standstill. It was suggested we attempt to apply for disability. We were informed this is not a stand-alone compensation but is tied to receiving a pension or disability, both of which he never received. My dad, who is 92 and a Korean War veteran, applied for the Aid and Attendance Compensation to help with in-home care in February. You will be happy you did and, as Aunt Esther used to say, "Glory." Laugh a lot because we are not here long. Enjoy your life with friends and family and others. If someone tries to offend you, walk away. Life is too brief to harbor hurt feelings, resentment and bitterness. Wouldn't it be fantastic if we all could rekindle our laughter and not be so sensitive about our religion, race, ethics, economic situation and just laugh more? I realize some comments can be hurtful, but hey, the condemner has the problem, not you. Maybe Don Rickles' type of humor was a little overboard, but those he ridiculed got belly laughs. I have met characters like Barney, we even called a friend Barney, and the Aunt Esther I met had me rolling in the aisle. We laugh because we can relate to them or the situations they get into. I have laughed at Jethro, Barney, Gomer, Goober, Aunt Esther, Redd Foxx, Amos and Andy (especially the Kingfish), the "Seinfeld" gang and "Friends" crowd, the "Big Bang" group and "Young Sheldon" family and many others like Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters, Eddie Murphy, and Jeff Foxworthy who made fun of me and some of my buddies. Now what are they doing to make us laugh? It mostly is making fun of us or situations we get ourselves into that are embarrassing. Sitcoms are geared to bring out laughter. We've all heard it said, "Laughter is the world's best medicine."Ĭomedians make their living telling jokes to make us laugh. Why have we become so sensitive? Why don't we laugh more? Really belly laugh more-the enjoying-type laughter. Some colleges have football teams some football teams have colleges. ![]()
