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.
A Warped Witch I Be 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.
Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 1984, actress Elizabeth Taylor was voted to be the world's most beautiful woman in a Louis Harris poll; at the time she was in the Betty Ford Clinic overcoming a weight problem. What do you make of these opinion polls? Are they really worth anything, or are they just something for people to talk about? Just who are these people being polled? Do they volunteer to answer questions, or rate things? How are they selected? Do they fully comprehend English, or the language of the poll? Do they really stop to think, and consider before making a selection? Are they hurried and harassed? How many voters are considered enough to form a consensus? I dislike phone call polls. No, I do not want to reveal who I may, or may not be voting into political office. I consider this a waste of resources and manpower. They rate with unwanted phone sales. If I wanted a sweet deal on bulk light bulbs, I'd search for a sale when I was ready. No, I'm not interested in booking a holiday at this moment. Your random, irritating call will not change my mind. Yes, I am aware that such a thing as a credit card exists, but I was not sitting around wishing I had another one, and thinking my life was lacking without this one. I am not impressed with opinion polls. They contain nothing necessary. What, or why do I care about the opinions of others? These polls' subjects seem to star in gossip magazines, and shady newspapers. I'm certain not everyone in the entire world was consulted and asked if they believed Elizabeth Taylor to be the most beautiful woman. I for one never took part in this survey.
