My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum.

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.

PROMPT: Talk Tuesday! What 's the greatest fast food indulgence no longer available that you wish would come back and be something you can get at any time?
         Umm, nothing off hand... I cannot say I am a fast food fan . I refer to McDonald's as McChoke, or McPuke.
         I wonder what it was like to visit a soda fountain? In movies, it seems like a social hang-out, a fun, happening place. A malted milk, or a rootbeer float might be a tasty treat.
          When hubby and I were starry eyed and dating, we frequented a restaurant known as Mother's. One of its promotional offers was a free second serving of spaghetti. Somehow, he managed to put away his two plates of pasta plus my extra . Sadly, this wonderful venue closed years ago. Perhaps hungry customers were to blame. It sure would've been an inexpensive place to feed our crew.          
          I remember a fish and chip shop that my family visited for take-out. Each individual meal was wrapped in newspaper, and the food could be eaten with the fingers, no need for the formality of plates and forks. Now there are public health regulations/restrictions. Huh, a little grease, and printers' ink never killed anyone. Now I'm feeling nostalgic...
