Good Morning

There will be no nursing home in my future. . .

When I get old and feeble, I am going to get on a Princess Cruise Ship.
The average cost for a nursing home is $200 per day. I have checked on
reservations at Princess and I can get a long term discount and senior
discount price of $135 per day. That leaves $65 a day for:

1. Gratuities, which will only be $10 per day.

2. I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle to the
restaurant or I can have room service (which means I can have breakfast
in bed every day of the week.)

3. Princess has as many as three swimming pools, a workout room, free
washers and dryers, and shows every night.

4. They have free toothpaste and razors, and free soap and shampoo.

5. They will even treat you like a customer, not a patient. An extra
$5 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help you.

6. I will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.

7. T.V. broken? Light bulb need changing? Need to have the mattress
replaced? No Problem! They will fix everything and apologize for your
inconvenience.

8. Clean sheets and towels every day, and, you don't even have to ask
for them.

9. If you fall in the nursing home and break a hip you are on Medicare.

10. If you fall and break a hip on the Princess ship they will upgrade
you to a suite for the rest of your life.

Now hold on for the best!

Do you want to see South America, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Australia,
New Zealand, Asia, or
just name where you want to go. Princess will have a ship ready to go.

. . .So -- don't look for me in a nursing home; just call ship to shore.

P.S. And don't forget, when you die, they just dump you over the side.
. .at no charge

Nice thread Mac and I look forward to what posters have to say here.

I received this from a friend, and thought some might enjoy reading it. Could be fun for a few months tho.

Have a great day.
