I believe more of us may be feeling oppressed and annoyed daily: bad drivers, media opinions, demands for personal information, 24 hr news, overcharges, cancelled flights, new regulations, higher prices, mask mandates robot calls, cable companies, shoddy service. Remember the film where a news anchor lifts his window and yells "I've had it and I won't take anymore! " How do we keep smiling agreeably through it all as senior gentlewomen and gentlemen are expected to do?

As far as the Dr.'s office goes, they need as much information about your health history as you can give them in order to treat you properly. If you knew how many doctors, nurses, and health facilities are sued for frivolous reasons, you would understand the need for all the forms of "legalese" you must sign. Even that doesn't stop it from happening 100% of the time. 24 hour news? Turn off the TV and go for a walk or take a golf cart ride, or maybe just watch a funny movie or sitcom. Take up golf or another sport if you don't already do it. Join a club, go play cards. There are so many things to do here in The Villages. You can also obtain an app on your phone that will cut down on robo calls significantly. There is one called RoboKiller. It does a good job. As far as the rest of it, there has always been bad drivers, shoddy service from some places, etc. You can do your part to help reduce prices and improve the economy with your vote! You are not powerless! I have to admit gas prices right now are annoying!
