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: Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 2007, the seventh book of the Harry Potter series, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', was released. Ok guys... let's hear all about your Potter fandom. And if for some reason you're like me and never got into the series, tell us why. Why? Er, um, because.... Hmm. I will admit that I'm not a Potterite, or Potter head, or Wizard wannabe, or whatever. The whole worship -this-franchise thing eludes me. I do not garb myself in a cloak, or don a pair of eyeglasses, or wave a wand, or live with an owl. I am, however, not entirely ignorant of things Harry Potter. I've sat in darkened movie theatres amazed at the special effects inspired by J.K. Rowling. She can weave a spell all her own. I'm just not a rabid, hard core fan. Yes, I was entertained. Other films have accomplished this very same feat. My eldest daughter has devoured each and every book in this series. She recommended that I too read them. So far, I have managed to accumulate a few volumes of Harry Potter. At the moment, they are residing ,quite comfortably I believe, on one of my three book shelves. Yes, they may be somewhat obscured by a layer of dust, and a stack of other reading material. They seem to not be a priority? Technically, they are awaiting my attention. Someday, I might possibly give them a chance. In truth, they vie for my undivided adoration, as do all of my tomes. I'm not exaggerating, I possess my own private library. So much to enjoy, so little free time to do so. I am puzzled that I have yet to open a Harry Potter novel. It's not as if I never make the time to sit and read. They are certainly patient, biding their time.
