Future Plan.....

[QueenScoopalot]

This sounds real good if pets are allowed! There's no nursing home in my future ... when I get old and feeble, I'm
checking into the Holiday Inn! The average cost for a nursing home is at
least $188 per day. I've already checked on reservations at the Holiday
Inn. With a combined long-term-stay discount and senior discount, it's
$49.23 per night. That leaves $138.77 a day for:

1. Breakfast, lunch and dinner in any restaurant I want, or room service.
2. Laundry, gratuities and special TV movies.

Plus, Holiday Inn provides a swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge,
washer, dryer, etc. Most have free toothpaste and razors, and all have
free shampoo and soap.
They treat you like a customer, not a patient. Five bucks worth of tips
a day will have the entire staff scrambling to help you. There's a city
bus stop out front, and seniors ride free.

To meet other nice people, call a church bus on Sundays.

For a change of scenery, take the airport shuttle bus and eat at one of
the nice restaurants there.

While you're at the airport, fly somewhere. Otherwise, the cash keeps
building up.

It takes months to get into decent nursing homes. Holiday Inn will take
your reservation today. And you're not stuck in one place forever. You
can move from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city.

Want to see Hawaii? It has Holiday Inns, too.

TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need to have the mattress
replaced? No problem! They fix everything and apologize for the
inconvenience.

The Inn has a night security person and daily room service.

The maid checks to see if you're OK. If not, they'll call the undertaker
or an ambulance.

If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip and Holiday
Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life.

And no worries about visits from family. They'll always be glad to find
you, and probably check in for a few days mini-vacation. The grandkids
can use the pool.

What more can you ask for?

So, when I reach the golden age I'll face it with a grin. Just forward
all my e-mail to me @holidayinn.com

I was thinking about doign something bad & going to jail or prison LOL LOL

What the heck it's totally free, you get cable, 3 square meels, a work out center, library, medical attntion, dental, school.

I might have to save up a couple hundred to buy some snacks & toothpaste, shampoo etc.. but that beats thousands of dollars!

I might not be able to travel or see different things, but gosh if I'm old enough to be in a nursing home than that means I can't do anything by myself anyways so no biggie. I mean my vision & movement will probably be limited anyways.

Homeless student lived in library for seven months

A homeless New York student says he slept for seven months in a university library without being caught.

Steve Stanzak, 20, says he set up home in New York University's main library because he couldn't afford housing costs on top of his tuition.

He was finally discovered by shocked administrators last week, reports the New York Post.

They found his website, www.homelessatnyu.com, in which he chronicled his undercover life in the Bobst Library on New York's Washington Square.

Stanzak said he washed himself in the library's toilets, had an occasional shower at friends' dorms and kept his clothes and books in lockers.

"It was kind of interesting at first and then it became part of the norm, part of the routine. It was getting quite comfortable," he said.

The creative-writing student said he gets no financial help from his parents and works about 30 hours a week to make spending money.

NYU spokesman John Beckman said Stanzac had now been provided with free housing for the rest of the semester.

Asked whether the school believed the student had lived in the library for seven months, Beckman said, "I don't know; we've taken what he said at face value."

"The library is open 24 hours for a reason; there's a demand for students to study around the clock," he said. "And it's not unusual to see someone who's fallen asleep."
