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.
PROMPT: Creation Saturday! You're a famous author.... how would you go about furnishing the perfect houseboat to live on, while you continue your career? Money isn't an object, but you can only leave the boat once every three months. So, now I live in a houseboat? Hmmm, I've often wondered about this choice of a living arrangement. Oh wow, the sky's the limit. Okay, if I'm basically to become a hermit that writes, I will need a great, powerful, top of the line computer with all the bells and whistles. To ensure my contact with the outside world, I will also require unlimited, unimpeded internet access. To amuse myself at my whim, I shall have a flat-screen colour television, a DVD player, and thousands of movies. Wall to wall bookshelves will groan under my considerable library of books. I think I'd also like a stereo system that echoes music through several speakers. Of course, I insist upon a gourmet kitchen equipped with gizmos, gadgets, and appliances. Cooking and baking are creative outlets hat sustain me. My fridge and freezer have to be enormous to stock food stuff. The bathroom will be luxurious and comfortable. A soaker tub is imperative. Only a shower stall with multiple spray heads is suitable. Ah, I'd love heated towel racks, and a heated floor. With an unlimited budget, I'd spring for a king-sized bed. I appreciate room to toss and turn. On an outer deck, I would have a hot tub. Surrounding it would be a lush garden of green, and vibrant colour. Nestled amongst this would be a hammock.
