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.
VIRTUAL TOUR OF SOUTH AMERICA, Day 1, Miami, Florida... I am so ready for another virtual holiday. Last year's backpacking trek through Europe was a blast! My passport and I anticipate a great time. On my seemingly endless flight from Canada, I researched the sites our tour guide Lynn highlighted. Gulp, er, um....Is it just me, or are the various governments of South America trying to frighten away potential tourists? Okay, I believe I've got it. I am not encouraged to join in any resurrections, or rallies, or protests. I must only travel with a group, so no solo forays. I must not encourage the kidnapping of myself, or fellow travellers. I must admit, I'm a wee bit curious. How much would, or could my ransom be? While I've twice travelled to Florida, this is my first time in Miami. Whoa, it teems with people. I loved the Dance Cruise! The music pulsed in my veins, and I tripped the light fantastic..... Really, I stumbled and fell. My uncoordinated feet were a little too excited. As I crashed, the boom-boom of my heart matched the bass of the music. No matter, I quickly rebounded. What a carefree way to begin our journey, an evening boat cruise. I preferred the open deck where I was free to people watch. I spotted Sally swirling and twirling, we exchanged cheerful waves. I'm in the best of company on this tour. She'll help steer me clear of political uprisings, and street violence. After the waterways ride, I returned to our hotel, The Hilton. I couldn't resist the beckoning water of the pool. Now I'm relaxed and ready for the next leg of our journey. Has South America been fore warned? The Bloggers are about to invade...
