Lenny Bruce

I told you my grandfather interesting. I knew a lot of interesting people in New York. He used to take to New York as a child with my grandmother. We would go to dinner and shop on Orchard St. I hope everyone know who Lenny Bruce is. He was a pretty crazy comedian.

I was only 11 at time. It reminds of a Howard Stern.

I don,t do that....I just stick mine in a jar of water and stick in a Steradent tablet...then when I awake in the morning...they re all sparkly and clean... ;D....as you get older there are some advantages....like buying less shampoo.no more dental bills.free eye care,free prescriptions,..bus pass..which gives me free transport anywhere in Scotland... ;D

I get no benefits. I'm self employed. We paid a thousand a month for medical ins.. Which pays for nothing. He is working hiself crazy! ;D The tooth broke before the gum line and had to be surgically removed. Not covered, so while he was doing that I had a pin implanted. $3200., and then the tooth is $2,000., Then I had a deep cleaning $1,600.. It's disgusting. I love my dentist and surgeon. They were great, but we get nothing for free. You have to be poor or extremely wealthy or you're just screwed!!!! People think because you have yourown business your swimming in green stuff. They couldn't take it for a week!

If i had as much money as people used to think I had..then I too should have been swimming in the stuff,I too was self -employed for the last 20 years,I earned good money,I had a new motorcycle, good car,2/3 holidays a year,...but the difference between me and them who thought i was loaded was,.I did,nt spend £200 a week,on booze...or gambling....I enjoyed the finer things in life,...but now that i,m retired..I have to watch the £ a bit more...carefully... but I,m lucky...Avril is 12 years my junior..and now she helps keep me....a Kept man you might say..... ;D
