DO NOT stop at the capital visit seniors...we need a PETITION to send a message to our state legislatures. A Senior Aging Agency needs to be formed and the monies for senior nutrition put into this to go directly to seniors, no more funneling senior monies through DHS. They are not required to give any monies they receive to senior nutrition, it is clearly up to them and once again they decided on pay raises for top officials at DHS. Now DHS wants a guarantee they will get "their" money back from the state. Wise up seniors we still have a battle to win.

Glad to see citizens taking action on this matter let your voices be heard because apparently the government is not looking out for our seniors best interest.

Daily Horoscope for November 30

Pisces

Try to improve your health by incorporating good habits into your daily routine; if you sit at a desk all day long, find ways to stretch your muscles while you are seated. Since the December holidays are almost upon us, it is a good idea to increase your consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. Before you know it, you will be tempted to eat nothing but rich, fat-laden foods; set some good habits now before you no longer fit into your holiday outfits.
