I hate crutches, they make my armpits and shoulders both hurt. And I've almost fell down the stairs trying to navigate with them more than once.

Nice job!

In response to "Old Dog. New Tricks"

That's so funny. It's also true of cats. My older cat won't climb up but now that our kitten does, he's been climbing and exploring places he never did before. Sometimes they just need the right incentive.

In response to "Is there an answer?"

People here in the United States were warned about climate change years ago. Our Vice President in 1993, Al Gore, was an environmentalist. He talked incessantly about the issue warning something needed to be done to avoid destroying our planet. People laughed at him denying there was any such problem. He was right, they were wrong. I need to answer this prompt if I have time today. Have a good one!

In response to "Love "

59 years is incredible.

I can't imagine a love that intense either. And I'm very much in love with my husband. It's my second marriage, we've been together 20 years and married 16 years. If I had foolishly stayed in my first marriage it would have been 50 years. I left him before our 30th.

I've read a lot of his sonnets and wondered the same thing about the woman. I didn't realize there were 100 of them Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

that's a lot of mushy stuff.

I'm sorry I knew that but blanked it out with all the chaos. Good luck with the Surgery!

I’m not involved in GOT Lyn. I have surgery next week and will be missing in action fora week or so. I just reviewed Lilly’s contribution last night.

I have never been able to embroider, though I tried valiantly in youth - a lovely skill.
That's heartbreaking, your shrunken jumper gift -

In response to "Love "

There are different types of love. Her in the western colony we obsess with romantic/sexual love. The sex, however, must never be directly shown; we're cultural prudes.

Neruda wrote 100 sonnets for his future wife.

I mostly love (pine) from afar.

In response to "Love "

Hi, enger
I wonder how many sonnets Neruda wrote. She must have been quite a gal!
Love is such a complex concept. What is love? The oft asked question to which no one has an answer. Would it be to sacrifice oneself to save another? I can accept a parent might do that to save a child. However that reminds me of the time I caught my ten year old son poking a lighted stick into a jerry can of petrol. I screamed, “don’t do that!” And I ran from the garage! So much for a mother’s love.

Prompt: Luck
Since it was St. Patrick's Day, yesterday, what do you think of the lucky Irish? Or if you wish, write your thoughts on the theme of luck and how it has played a role in your life.

I don’t really believe in luck. Having said that, I do believe that I’ve been fortunate throughout my life. Having parents who stayed together had a big part to play in my happiness as a child. My parents always loved each other dearly and having two people who love each other and who brought happiness to the household was good for the children of that marriage . Therefore I knew what a happy marriage looked like and consequently I’ve attempted to replicate my parents relationship and have a happy home.
It’s not always been easy though, we’ve had to work at marriage often. But our three kids all have said they’d had a happy childhood. Luck? I don’t know.
We both worked in the horse racing arena and gambling. The people we mixed with all took luck very seriously. But having seen the heartache gambling can bring we steered right away from it. Luck has nothing to do with winning or losing.
Health wise. I look around at other eighty year olds and think that maybe we both have been lucky. Although I’ve had more than my fair share of ill health and still do, we at least can go for a walk with the dog each morning.
Yes, I have seen people who seem to have terrible luck throughout their lives with all manner of things. Accidents, misfortunes from flooding or fires, illness etc. One does wonder why they seem to attract bad luck or is it simply a numbers game?
