'GOFUNDME' was a JOKE

I rather thought that me avid readers knew me well.  Was quite sure that they would see the joke.  There were some who did not.

I was just trying to prove a point.  Still am in shock that the young man in Georgia was able to get $93,000.00.  More shock that one person wrote on site that she was hoping to push the fund to over $100,000.00 be fore it was shut down.  She did not make it, the fund was closed at just over $93,000.00.

Tis a pity, me fund is a bust, I was so looking forward to a nice holiday in south of France, a new car, watch, giant telly and a massive mobility chair.....

SHOW ME THE MONEY

I am gobsmacked at a recent article and funding request by a young gay man which raised over $90,000 before it was closed off.  Got me thinking it did....

If a young gay man who lost housing in his parents house can strike such cord with folks, I wonder what one from an OLD man might do.

Just think of the possibilities.....

I could get better hearing devices.  Implants even.  Throw away the cane and run round town in a fancy mobility chair.   Move into fancy apartment.  Take a few trips.  Buy clothes.

I would spend all of the cash on ME.

Truth be told, I rather think I will be lucky to collect a single dollar.  No one cares about an old gay man...

The site suggested posing a picture that got folks sorry for.  Rather think I should have used this snap.  Has real 'pity' quality to it...

The above link takes you to the site that the boyfriend of the young man set up.  When last looked, over $93,000.00  has been contributed to the young man.

Who knew that being 'gay' could be worth so much....

I have a real problem with the fact the the young man secretly filmed his coming out to his parents.  On some level he must have know that his coming out would not be well received.  Why film the chat with his mother?

I rather think that there was an agenda to the whole filmed bit.  That part really bothers me.  Seems so underhanded.

Then there is the whole business of the boyfriend putting up an advert to beg for donations.  Rather slick if you ask me.

One thing is for certain, however 'gay' the young man and his boyfriend may be, there are clever by half...

OLD GEEZER TRUTHS

Perks of Being an Old Geezer

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you. OAP's have no cash.

3. No one expects you to run--anywhere.
4. People call at 6 pm and ask, did I wake you?
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.  You really are falling apart...
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat supper at 4 pm.
9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.  Barry Manalow is a God...
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.  Just your hearing...
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

And Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
