The other day (8/10) my Lovely Wife and I celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. We were mmphkah years old when we married (it is interesting that my LW is still only 20 something).
We spent a quiet day at home with me roasting some beef with baked potatoes and salad plus ice cream for dessert. Most of our anniversaries are spent quietly at home. On one of our anniversaries we went to a riding stable and rode 2 horrible horses named Orville and Peanut; her horse sort of did what my LW wanted but mine felt that he has worked enough for the year.
On our 25th anniversary, we went to a dude ranch in MI, where the horses were much nicer. On our 40th anniversary we went to a dude ranch (Peaceful Valley) in CO. We rode horses at least once a day and had a lot of fun plus there were s'mores and great meals 3 times a day (my LW feels any meal she doesn't have to make is great).
I am very lucky to have such a wonderful LW!

Medicine
One of my favorite comedians is Tim Hawkins, above is his video of medicine side effects. There is a pill that now (Seasonique) that reduces the number of periods that women have. If you read the possible side effects they include most common are nausea, vomiting, bleeding or spotting between periods, breast tenderness, and difficulty wearing contact lenses. Isn't bleeding the same as a period?
There are ads for depression meds that list the side effect of suicide and depression. Let's see if I get this; you take this medicine if you are depressed but it causes death & depression!
My lovely wife and I listen to the medicine ads just waiting for the possible side effects and wondering why would anyone take medicines?

Business
No one in the P.O. administration knows anything about business. There are no businessmen in his cabinet or inner circle.
Business is in business to make money. P.O. believes that their purpose is to be taxed or to give jobs to workers. These are only byproducts of a successful business not their goals.
P.O. believes that by raising taxes on businesses he can close the trillions of dollar budget deficit. Businesses are not really taxed! Businesses raise their prices or cut jobs to maintain a profit.
P.O. believes that by making it easier for unions to organize that more jobs will be created. Higher wages and restrictive work rules do not make for more jobs, only a less profitable business which leads to organizations like the auto industries which can not compete with foreign companies which lead to bailouts and fewer jobs.
P.O. believes by taxing small businessmen that the deficit will decrease. People unlike P.O. are not stupid, they will not work of hard or expand if it costs them more than it is worth.
Profits are not evil as P.O. believes. Profits allow expansion and give stock holder money to spend.
Nothing is illegal if a hundred businessmen decide to do it, and that's true anywhere in the world. Andrew Young
There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting. David Letterman
Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity. Karl Marx
I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't. Steve Martin
I used to sell furniture for a living. The trouble was, it was my own. Les Dawson
You don't want another Enron? Here's your law: If a company, can't explain, in ONE SENTENCE....what it does....it's illegal. Lewis Black
I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly. Steven Wright
Big business never pays a nickel in taxes, according to Ralph Nader, who represents a big consumer organization that never pays a nickel in taxes. Dave Barry
Business? It's quite simple. It's other people's money. Alexandre Dumas
