I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I know - TMI!!!
I won't chance an ice cream flavour in the same post.
daiquiri ice - yummy
I wish we did still have a Baskin Robins here so I could get a free cone on my Birthday,but they left our town years ago and the frozen I can still buy in the grocery store doesn't taste the same.:(
Yes, one can get creative with gifts!
One year, my son really wanted a Porsche after getting his driver's license.
I got him a real nice Porsche, authentic, at the toy store.
One is not required to gift what is on the list. If you do get a gift card, ($20) you can make it appear bigger by sticking it on a foam core poster board the exact same color as the card. See? Much bigger!
Both AARP and Taco Bell think the age of seniors is 55. Or is it 50?
If one is nearing that age, it is all about the DISCOUNT!
Putting our hopes and dreams in the hands of some young whippersnapper to tell us how young we look is just never gonna work out, dear sweet Lu. Try tipping him next time....
Don't freak out just because your birthday is nearing because Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors will give you a free cone on your real birthday-do not-I repeat-do not lie about your age!
Lol, and joyeaux noel.
I came over here to whine about something but I forgot what it was.
🏂🎅
can’t stand to see families out together and everyone is on a cell
btw my fairly new iPhone has a glitch -
seems the phone icon freezes and I have to completely power off to access the keypad to actually use the phone
- how reassuring in an emergency
You seem to have a growing sense of humor about the situation.
How about this: In sending out Christmas cards to neighbors, the 87 year old put the sympathy card in the wrong envelope, meant for someone's family who was a neighbor who died.
You can let it go, with a sense of humor like you have. Is she italian, or just 87 y.o.?
Call her up or go visit her. Ask why you received the card so you can put your mind at rest. This is because you said people have been mean to you.
You can put it back in the envelope, write no longer here, return to sender, then drop it in her mailbox.
Send her a christmas card.
I think it was mistaking you for the other person with the same initial.
Is there anything else you might have thought it meant?
Sometimes with enough information, you can figure these things out.
I don't think you want to let this go, do you,?
Also on their trip back home, we asked that they let us know when they got home, due to the weather. Well, their cellphones died on the way home, duh, of course. No land-line at their home to call. They were technically off the digital face of the earth. They misplaced their chargers. Oh good grief, life has become so complicated :P
CM, you have such a way with words!
Whotsername. Allsopp? Some celeb expert I am!
Anyway. Kirstie who's-terribly-famous-for-something smashed up her kids' cellphones and it went nuclear on Mumsnet, apparently (another subject which I will not be nominating if I am ever on a quiz show). 50% saying she was a crazy controlling monster and 50% saying well I never let my children have a cellphone in the first place, and they prefer alfalfa to chocolate. You know the kind of thing.
As you can see I paid close attention to the story; but the point is that as far as I took it in at all I was completely on her side. I am now old enough to be direct about it and say "turn your phone off" to people who are annoying me with them a lot, but all the same I acknowledge that the pull these machines have is clearly highly addictive.
Must be. How else could they lead otherwise normal human beings to be so f***ing rude?
Sig other took the family via subway into Wash DC to sight-see. So instead of looking out the windows to view "reality", the girls and their Mom were either on their cellphones or napping. Same at the house, cellphone/napping.
Next day sig other said it was good Thanksgiving Day.... I blew up. I had about 10 minute face time with the girls. How does one bond with these kids if you can't get their attention away from the cellphone? Or they are napping? This is the 2nd time I have seen them this year, prior to that, the girls were toddlers. I just couldn't get away back then, due to major illness plus helping my very elderly parents.
When I was the girls' age, I was a bundle of energy. Are cellphones zapping energy in today's children???
