I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.
Didn't ICE find the illegal aliens who had secretly landed in our trailer parks and ICE shipped them to an El Salvadorian prison? I thought many of the trailer park inhabitants who resisted will be vacationing at the prison, er renamed Cultural Exchange Theme Park, soon?
When the toe heels it may be time for specially fitted shoes. Broken bones, no matter how small, can create or exacerbate other health issues as one ages.
Witchy Woman Yes, I have family nearby. The lake is also across the road. Water is kinda important, eh? A spoonful of coffee grounds just isn't the same without it. Thanks for commiserating with me.
I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a terrible week. I've gone through the float valve thing at my old house in Maine, it felt like forever before they got it replaced. I bought gallons of water to keep my coffee supply steady. I refilled empty jugs for the toilet from the lake. We were lucky it happened in the summer because bathing was at the lake. I can't imagine doing it in the fall with the temperatures dropping. I never asked if your family lives nearby? Hopefully, you can take care of the essentials there.
Very nicely written. I am a big communicator and if more people would put forth a better effort, it would be a better place. Little acts of kindness truly goes a long way. You have identified it well. I can feel your sincerity coming through your writing. I would like to see more of the younger crowd helping or being involved with the older folks. I know my day goes better when someone has said hi or gives a waves.
I don't care for dark British/Dutch humor. Dislike Monty Python as well. Give me a bittersweet French or Japanese movie or a sad Portuguese song. I'm more introspective.
You were very fortunate. I never really fell into anyone's arms.
I need to reassess my needs. My 'romantic' efforts in Thailand had limited success.
May 21st Prompt: Write an open letter to a person or group of people you strongly disagree with and explain why. Use reason not emotion. Dear Creator and Overseer of Facebook, First let me begin by stating that I am a Facebooker. That means I use your app and enjoy sharing with my friends and family. I anticipate viewing the myriad of photos that are posted begging comment. I discover random rants and varying levels of conversation that intrigue, entertain and baffle me. Now I know what a meme is. Crazy, huh? The Facebook content never fails to amuse me. BUT,,, yes, I have a but, a dislike, a difference of opinion. Why are there advertisements insinuating themselves into my newsfeed? I do not consider ads to be news. I do not particularly like ads either. They are annoying enough to be sprinkled willy-nilly amongst any of my online forays and I do my best to ignore, if not outright shun them, but why on earth did you consider them important enough to insert them amongst my stream of photos and updates? Yes, ads have always 'framed' the Facebook page and they floated in my peripheral vision. I never understood their necessity. I ask again, why are they now infiltrating my newsfeed and intruding upon the user posts? I never agreed to this. I was never consulted. They are not user driven. The ads are not proposed , or shared by my fellow Facebookers. Where do you get off 'suggesting' ads for me? This is presumptuous. I do not want any ads littering my newsfeed. Over and over I attempt to discard these unwanted ads by requesting you 'hide' them. When I do this I am asked why? Do people actually enjoy these ads? I opt to answer that the ads are 'irrelevant.'Thay's what they are, irrelevant. And another thing, have you been spying upon me? Do you follow every thing I do? How else did you determine the ads that you presumed I would find interesting, or irresistible? My mind is boggled. Where did I ever indicate that I was wishing to purchase a new vehicle and also so many makes amd models? Why throw international travel options my way? I am not a drinker, yet you assume I have an overpowering thirst for beer and alcohol. What I am getting at is you do not know me at all. Stop the onslaught of ads! Irked and Ignored
