<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist =
Julie
Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music =
Hall for
the benefit of the AARP. She changed (slightly) the lyrics to =
one of
her favorite songs, as follows: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting, <BR>Walkers =
and
handrails and new dental fittings, <BR>Bundles of magazines tied up =
in
string, <BR>These are a few of my favorite things. =
<BR> <BR>Cadillacs
and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses, <BR>Polident and =
Fixodent and
false teeth in glasses, <BR>Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with =
swings,
<BR>These are a few of my favorite things. <BR> <BR>When the =
pipes
leak, <BR>When the bones creak, <BR>When the knees go bad, <BR>I =
simply
remember my favorite things, <BR>And then I don't feel so bad.
<BR> <BR>Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads for bunions, =
<BR>No spicy
hot food or food cooked with onions, <BR>Bathrobes and heat pads and =
hot
meals they bring, <BR>These are a few of my favorite things.
<BR> <BR>Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin', =
<BR>Thin
bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin', <BR>And we won't =
mention our
short shrunken frames, <BR>When we remember our favorite things.
<BR> <BR>When the joints ache, <BR>when the hips break, =
<BR>When the
eyes grow dim, <BR>Then I remember the great life I've had, <BR>And =
then I
don't feel so bad." </DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>How To Keep Your Sanity</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Mary Simpson was almost crazy with her three kids. She =
complained to
her best friend, "They're driving me nuts. Such pests, they =
give me no
rest and I'm half-way to the nut hatch."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"What you need is a playpen to separate the kids from =
yourself," her
friend said.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So Mary bought a playpen. A few days later, her friend called =
to ask
how things were going.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Superb! I can't believe it," Mary said. "I get in that playpen =
with a
good book and the kids don't bother me one bit!"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>And finally,</EM></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Eager to make her mark in the world of business, the attractive =
new MBA
took a job as executive assistant to the middle-aged owner of a =
fast-growing
computer software company. She found the work challenging and the =
travel
interesting, but was extremely annoyed by her boss's tendency to =
treat her
in public as though she were his girlfriend rather than a =
professional
associate.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This was especially irritating in restaurants, where he would =
insist on
ordering for her, and on calling her Dearest or Darling within =
earshot of
the waiters. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When she told him how much it bothered her, he promised to =
stop, but
the patronizing behavior continued. Finally, as he led her into a =
four-star
restaurant, she took matters into her own hands.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Where would you like to sit, sweetheart?" he asked, with a =
wink at the
maitre d'.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Gee," she replied, "anywhere you say, Dad."</DIV>
