My husband was present at the tax appointment.
It was the crazy behavior of the receptionist that put me off.
So glad my taxes are already filed!
Done deal.

What had the horse done to be disqualified?

I turned on the radio this morning to tune into the Sunday service and all they were talking about was the Kentucky Derby.

For those who enjoy the first Saturday in May, yesterday was very disappointing

the best horse won on a wet track, going wire to wire - led the whole race
but the 2nd place finisher raised an objection

going into the final turn, when 150,000 people are screaming, the winner came out of his lane and was ruled to have impeded another horse but not the 2nd place finisher - after 20 minutes, the stewards disqualified the winner

unusual decision in the 145 history of the derby but it was a difficult spotlight to be in especially after this particular winter of racing

Doris Day died? When? I used to just love her. She always reminded me of my mom.

I've been in a funk for the last few days so missed the news.

Gershun,
If not for the good people on here, I would not have known about Doris Day passing.
Online:
"Day died on May 13, 2019, after suffering from pneumonia. She was 97 years old. Her death was announced by her charity, the Doris Day Animal Foundation".

Her signature song was Que Serah, Serah, whatever will be will be, the future's not ours to see, Que Serah,Serah.

My Mom had sung that song to me. She was of that same generation, but passed many years ago.

I didn't know Doris Day died:( I use to watch her when I was a kid. My mother use to walk through the house sing "Whatever will be will be, the future's is not ours to see." Now, I have that song in my head!

The comic Tim Conway had passed yesterday complications from dementia.

Oh he was so funny, I remember him from the Carol Burnett Show. Great comic timing :)

I liked Tim Conway too. The Carol Burnett show was a family favorite.

Two people my mom really loved within days of each other. Sad!

These things seem to always happen in threes. I hope not............

It was so funny when Carol Burnett and Tim Conway and Harvey Korman were all together in the same skit~

Tim Conway and Doris Day difficult for many. I loved them both! And those that are still coming. Dick Van Dyke and Betty White are two that come to mind that will be very hard on me. So many greats that I grew up knowing who they were.😧

Yes, I agree Glad. Mary Tyler Moore comes to mind too.

If I died tonight, I will have died happy. It was the most wonderful day, errands and two returns, a great Cobb Salad, and then home. Simple day.

Many years ago when visiting relatives in a tiny town in Utah, Tim Conway and Don Knotts were staying at the same motel. Filming a movie nearby - we got to go to the location and watch some of the shooting.

Maybe many of us could be having a better, more rewarding life, getting out more, enjoying life more. Having something to look forward to when that break in routine comes.
I am always happy for those who have opportunities such as seeing a play, going to a concert or event. Just looking forward to something different than the heavy responsibilities of the last several years.
Some people just know how to live.
Planning ahead is a challenge with some chronic illnesses, such as fibromyalgia, and beginnings of limited mobility.

Read of one retiree who lived on a cruise ship. All her needs met as if she was in assisted living.

Anyone really enjoying their last decade of life?

Let me know please. There is only so much a self-help library can teach you.

Hi Send, planning ahead does have its own rewards of anticipation, even if we know some emergency could happen at any time.

I want to enjoy life now, as I am starting to sleep less.  It is like all the lack of sleep is catching up in the last 2 months! 

How will I know if it is my last decade that I am enjoying? 😉 Dad died in his 70's, as did his mother.  My mother and her sisters lived till 95.  I am 72.  Tune in later.

Grannie Annie,
Thanks for your input. Both my parents passed by age 65 and 66, so I have already aged past their legacy.

When I wrote below, I just knew that I would not want to live much beyond 80, but you can ask me then.

So, maybe a fun cooking class would help me, because my Sunday was worth the living as dH and I went to the store, made fudge (he is an irreplaceable sous chef),
and now, something for dinner.

When in a funk, leave the house by any means! The eating is extra!

You have been through a lot. But summer is on it's way, dig out that swimsuit, because swimming can help you sleep. This advice is good enough for those
youngsters under age 65 too!

Sendhelp, dig out the swimsuit? If I could find the swimsuit chances are I couldn't it past my ankles due the weight gain over the years :P

I use to love swimming as kid and into my teens. Whenever my parents were dragging me all over the U.S. to go to museums, the motel had to have a swimming pool !!

Remember back when we had to wear a swimming cap?

MMmm - I used to love swimming. Maybe when the lake warms up I'll put some shorts over my fat body, and a top, and go in.  I do not want to live much past 80 either. 

Freqflyer, yes I remember the rule about wearing bathing caps!  And when it was so hot driving cross country, we'd stop where motel had a pool so our kids could swim.  If not too hot, we'd pitch our tent at a KOA!  That's how we saw some Nat'l Parks, and visited relatives.

Nephew #2 is getting first hand forest fire training as his detachment is busy enforcing mandatory evacuation orders north of town. Alberta is crazy hot and dry, I wish I could send them some of our cool damp weather.
