We love you. I pray peace and comfort for you.
As I told someone else, keep talking to him when you need to and know that he is listening.
Jay O'Toole Author Icon - Thank you so much. His funeral is this weekend.
My friend died yesterday. I've known him over 30 years. He fell on the floor a few days ago and it knocked him out. Even though he is now gone, I'm still talking to him. Someone sat where he usually sits in church. I guess that is how life goes. I will miss him.

Introduce a gun.... or a body... or both.....

Actually it would depend on several factors, not the least of which is genre.

What about a totally unexpected death of one of the main characters? Falling down a flight of stairs, a car accident, a brain aneurysm.
The 30 year old young man got out of prison on the first, he never came by. Should i eat his Christmas presents? If not how long should I wait?

If they are edible... eat... then bake some more.
Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon - I didn't bake them, I bought them.


The caregiver, even with the newspaper add I sent with her, got the $6.99 a pound pork steaks instead of the $2.99 pork chops I ordered. sigh. Where do they get these workers that can't even read the adds when I circle them LOTS AND LOTS????

I buy cheap meat or do without. $7/lb. seems outrageous to me. *sigh*
         My humble suggestion is: after discussing the problem with the caregiver, complain to that person'semployer. If you are the caregiver's direct employer, fire and rehire. It sounds like you gave clear and precise instructions and the caregiver did not follow them.
         Speaking as one who lives on a very strict budget, I would not be able to tolerate a $4/lb error. I suspect it caused budgeting problems for you as well.
         If the requested item was unavailable, you should have been called for an alternative item, if you had no contingency item listed.
Is anyone else here age in 70's and still have energy? What do you do?
  •   5 comments
Pushing 80 and still full of it... energy, that is. *Laugh* I keep a positive outlook, laugh every day, and, of course...
Drinking red wine
preferably a Petite Syrah but anything red will do in a pinch.
I just turned 64, so 70 is still more than a lustrum away. I don't expect to run down anytime soon though. I've started exercising, but the main thing I think is making me young is my resolve. I will not stop living until the day I die. We have a friend who's about 90 and folk have a hard time trying to keep track of him. He's very lucid still by the way.

         So, my best advice is just don't give up. Don't give in to anyone who says, "You can't..."
70s... I'm fading. Some days I have energy but not like before.
Happy belated Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁

*Hug1**Smile**Hug2* Happy Birthday To You! *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*
Happy Birthday hope you have a nice day *Smile* *Hearty* *Gifty*
I bought myself a little bit of cake.
I picked up a big tin with a family of snowmen on it. Then it fell over off the table and popcorn flew all around by the wall. sigh. The dog loved it. I'll get another one soon. sigh

Yea, laug it up. lol I was going to eat out of it as I wrote tonight. ROFLOL
         I suppose there's little point to spilling tears over flying popcorn.

         Is it one of those "I'll decide whether to laugh or cry later; Right now, I'm mad and I just need to keep stomping my feet" moments?
Always Humble Poet PNG- 📓 Author Icon - No anger. lol I got a replacement.
Happy Birthday, LinnAnn.
I got another tin of popcorn. The dog and I are sharing. He gets the unflavored ones. lol
Happy birthday 🎁🎂🎁🎂🎁
HAPPY, HAPPY Birthday!

I hope you enjoy your special day!
I'm freezing! The clouds are thick outside. I have two heaters going in the dining room. I'M COLD. I'm eating my 2nd piece of pie the girls from church brought over. I got a hot cocoa. The nap was nice and warmed me up. Now I'm cold again. lol

For me, I think old age is one of the culprits. I want fresh air, so I keep the window cracked open, but I'm easily chilled.

Plenty of cloud-dandruff today.

As for pie... I won't tell if you don't!
Use as many blankets as you need. I can assure you, I do.

"Please, Lord. Do for LinnAnn what she can't do for herself. (John 6:37,44) Keep her safe and warm, In Jesus' Name, Amen."

Truest Blessings Always, LinnAnn.
I typed and then it disappeared. I've baked a batch of cupcakes and 4 batches of other cookies. Starting peanut butter cookies baking now,
