Hello Cat, When I was younger, and listened to the older folks, all I heard was them talking about aches, and pains, health problems...... Now I have aches, and pains in places that I never had before. Well, Me with MS, I ve joined that crowd, , boy can I tell some stories As for dress code, those tight T shirts, which once showed off a muscular physique , have also been replaced by button ups, to hide that once muscular physique, And I sure find myself, talking about the past a lot, things I did , or could do, maybe I should leave those days there. I don t mind slowly getting older, and aging gracefully, but in my case ,it seems I got up one day, and there it was, You have a Good day Bud,
Hello Freehand, Well, I ve seen young teenagers at a grandparents birthday party, oblivious to where they, because they were too busy texting. I ve had two accidents with my car due to people using their cell phones, I think do without one, till I absolutely need one. Till then, I m going to be stuck chatting ,laughing with, and actually getting to know people the old fashioned way, talking,
When I go shopping, I have my shopping list made so I don t forget anything. Then when I get to the store, I realize I forgot the shopping list, oh well that's where I blame it on getting older. (play the old age card)
Hello , from a Very cold western Canada, Minus 35 c I usually don t make goof ups, but lately I have been forgetting where I set my glasses, and it scares me because it seems ,once I start making goof ups, they come in bunches
Back Again, I was just sitting here thinking to myself, the happiest couples I know, (of varied ages) , are not social drinkers, but non drinkers. They don t do drugs, or gamble, doesn t that say something in itself. I know my drinking days cost me relationships, friendships...... I am thankful I quit drinking in 93, and have at least remained friends with a lot of good females.
Hello Cat, From a very cold western Canada. Sorry to hear about your girlfriend. As for New years resolutions, I m going to quit smoking ,again, Actually my resolutions are a few little things I m going to do, that are long over due. I plan on getting out more, and meet some New people, time for some new friends. And speaking of friends, its time to loose , and forget ,some of my supposed friends, Time for Out with the old, and in with the New, when it comes to some of the people in my life, Happy New year to you Bud,
Hello Nam, A while back ,at a food bank , one of the volunteers there, called in the media to bring light onto some of the people picking up food hampers. A few people would pick up a food hamper,then jump into a 70,000 dollar truck and drive off, If you could afford to drive, and maintain a vehicle like that,you shouldn t need a food bank. Proper rules have been set in place to prevent stuff like this happening. It sees the help is getting to the proper people.
Hello Biff It is said There s nothing wrong with venting, well I hope you re not like me. Once I start venting , I ll vent about anything, and everything. At times I don t know when to stop, But I have found , for myself , getting out of the house , meeting , and chatting with people sure helps, then I have to behave myself ,so people don t start calling me a MISERABLE OLD MAN, Hope you have a Good day,
Hello, Wishing you a Merry Christmas, As for what I want for Christmas, I would like some intelligent conversation to go with my coffee, preferably from a Good looking female,
Back again, Interesting pic of Mothman. I tend to believe in mothman, bigfoot..... After working in Northern Sask, (road constuction, surveying.... ) I have seen wilderness, terrain that I doubt if anyone has ever walked over. Who knows what out there,???? New life forms are being discovered all over the world continually.
Nam, you said it, the warming weather melts a lot of the snow making roads scary icy, The first major snow fall is also scary . A lot of people, or should I say idiots forget to slow down for road conditions, haven t got their winter driving legs yet.
The Cold weather I can handle, the mild winters can be scary at times. In the milder weather, theres freezing rain, fog, snow storms out of the blue, , icey roads, which makes it bad for walking, driving.....
Hello Nam, We have an Arctic cold front moving in here in Western Canada, . It could be one of our coldest Christmas s on record. I won t be doing nothing, I ll be busy holding down the couch, more than likely in front of the tv.
Hello , ( notice the hug, season of hugging, ) As for the lemons and oranges, this is advice from someone who doesn t do any baking, myself I d pass most of them on to someone who does a lot of baking, hinting maybe they could return some of their fine baking in return for a thank you. And another alternitve is donating to those less fortunate ,it is the season for giving.
