HOLIDAY INN FOR ME!
With the average cost
for a Nursing Home per day reaching $188.00,
there is a better way when we get old & feeble.
I have ascertained
that I can get a nice room at the Holiday Inn for
around$65.00 ----
that leaves $123.00 a day for beer, food (room
service), laundry, gratuities and special TV movies.
They have a swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge,
washer,
dryer, etc.
Most have free toothpaste and razors, and all have
free shampoo and soap.
Super 8 is somewhat
more economical and they have a free breakfast,
though you usually have to walk next door for lunch
and dinner.
There may be a bit of a wait to get that first floor
room, but that's OK, it takes months to get into
decent nursing homes. There is the Senior Bus, the
Handicap bus (if you fake a decent limp), a Church
bus or van, cabs, and even a regular bus. For a
change of lunch take the Airport Bus and eat at one
of the fast food cafe's there.
The Inn has security,
and if someone sees you drop over, they will call an
ambulance.
And should you break a hip, the American Way is to
Sue.
What more can you ask for?
As a bonus, they all
have AARP and other Senior discounts.
So: When I reach the
Golden age,
help me keep my grin.....
Just check my old rickety rear
into the nearest Holiday Inn!
