We certainly should not be treating octogenarians this way. But treating them this way includes keeping their miserable lives going. The two weeks supply only racket is probably down to the fact that an overdose of insulin is one way of topping yourself.

I'm not far off 80, and if diabetes was added to my woes, I would want out. My doctor has already made a fuss of my sugar level being 0.1% over "normal" after ONE blood test. Prior to any future blood tests I am going to be very careful of what I ingest to keep the good doc off my back. I've been told that there is money in diabetes for the health professions, and they won’t want that cut off by letting you die in peace.

Talking about Octogenarians?

Here's a few sayings seen on t-shirts:

"I never dreamed that one day
I'd be the same age as old people
But here I am killing it!"

And -

"Just released my own fragrance
No one in the car seemed to like it!"

"I may be wrong
But it's highly unlikely!"

"POP
Because grandfather
Is for old guys!

Paul1405 said "Communists are like Bunyips, they don't actually exist in real-life"

Answer- well I guess the 100 Million dead under Communism jumped into the mass graves on their own- probably on account of the bunyips between their toes.

CM, not being Australian you don't understand our culture, fair enough. You seem to be confusing a Bunyip with a Bunion, two different things.

I don't know of any Communist who murdered anyone. In fact, I've met a few people who have claimed to be Communist, but when tested they weren't Communist at all. A simple test of a Communist state, forgetting all the other perlarva; In such a state there is no need for money, can you name a modern state which didn't rely on money? Then I might concede they were
Communists. No prize if you say the USSR or China were Communist states. No prize if you say Stalin or Mao were Communists.

Hi Foxy,

Is an octogenarian an octopus on oxygen?

Just asking, helping out the lads. They will all be fast asleep by now, Nursey turns lights out at 7 o'clock, down at The Shady Pines Retirement Home, a couple of Quick Doze and the lads are soon in La La Land. Up at 7 o'clock, a couple of No Doze from Nursey, and the lads are all set for a hard day of Parcheesi playing. It's a great life for some.

Answer- Interesting rhetorical style- Paul1405 seems to have engineered a penalty/ reward system for the sole purpose of supporting his own particular ironic "love" fetish- Communism. Those that don't agree with his world view are seemingly mentally deficit- they didn't get the prize.

Communist Revisionism.
