That'S Life

Thats Life is a series of entertaining essays offering a wealth of personal observations and prejudiced views on a wide range of subjects. Though written as a legacy to benefit grandchildren, it is derived from a lifetime of experience from which others may also profit. The essay on names, for example, warns of parental blunders like naming children Tonsillitis and Meningitis. Another discussion considers obesity and suggests an effective diet by eating wisely at McDonalds, while the essay on pets explains why emotional support animals may soon be sitting next to you in the concert hall. Other essays reveal why most people hate their jobs, the epidemic of dishonesty among advertisers and politicians, and the hilarious world of humor. Several essays illustrate the importance of art, health, and romance, including the emotional benefits of daily hugs and kisses. Anger, cruelty, and fear are considered, with suggestions for dealing with each. Further discussions consider sex, drinking, and death, including the bewildering problems suicide bombers face dealing with seventy-two virgins. From sports, fashion, and travel, to music, food, and fellowship, every important topic is examined and explained. There seems no more valuable an asset one can offer grandchildren than the wisdom that comes with advancing years. Thus, Thats Life confronts everyday challenges we all face, providing responses to the most common of lifes frustrations.
