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.
Haha now I have ABBA in my head too.
If you don't want to whine you can go to General Topics thread where anything is up for discussion. As for people feeling excluded, all you have to do is push your nose in and we'll talk to you. No need to feel like a shrinking violet here.
I remember Richard Harris in the movie "Gladiator" I think maybe that was his last role before he died. Or has he died? I'm not sure. But he had a small part in the beginning of "Gladiator" anyhow. I thought he was a good actor. Much better an actor than a singer IMO.
I just ate a whole big container of yogurt. I'm I gonna have the runs now? If you don't hear from me in a while you'll know what I'm doing anyway. :P Note to self, must buy more toilet paper. :)
And, when someone asks a question on the other threads, I think everyone bends over backwards to offer as much information as possible. No chit-chat.
If you can't chitchat on "whine", where else do you go?
Just my opinion.
New whine,
Can we get a petition going to go back to the "old" Aging Care format?
I can only see one question at a time on my teeny IPhone 4. Really frustrating. (Lots of other changes are frustrating too.)
The forum is so much like Facebook now, and that is not helpful, imo.
Cwillie,
Have you found that you can reply to your own reply? Thereby having an entire conversation with oneself that no one is going to notice, lol.
Another "thing". Archived posts, which no one can add a comment to, that's great. However, it is all still there, making for a very heavy website. I would like to suggest a real archive section to store those threads from years ago. One would have to click on "ARCHIVED" to view posts from our past years. imo.
In keeping with my finely tuned and honed skills of interpretetive communication ,
( I call it), I think that No Recess did have her whine.
I think she meant, "how could you all be chatty when I am really suffering here".
Does NoRecess mean EVERY question on EVERY thread or just here in the "whine" section? If you're whining, ya' gotta' have "chit-chat" to explain the whine, right?
Oh dear, this is too complicated for my little brain 🤔.
Hm, I'm just thinking how to fix this - maybe if they included the name of the person being replied to?
BRING BACK THE OLD SITE!!!!!!
I dimly recall a tale about bets being made in a recording studio that they could write a song with no meaning at all and still sell it; but this may have been 1980s urban myth. Not just no meaning in the ordinary way, like 'Waterloo*', but an intentional absence, a vacuum, of meaning.
Like that actor's boast that he could memorise any lines at a single reading, and the playwright's riposte of 'she went into the garden to cut a cabbage to make an apple pie... [it goes on a bit, this is as much as I can remember]... "What, no soap?" ... and the great panjandrum himself with the little button on top. So they all fell to playing catch-as-catch-can 'til the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.'
*In case anyone is wondering what I've got against 'Waterloo', as jolly a party knees-up number as one could wish for, I agree, it's that sometimes it just doesn't do to listen to the words.
My my! At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender [with you so far]
Oh yeah! And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way -
[Let me stop you there. A way *similar* to the last battle of one of world history's most notable and charismatic military statesmen? In what way, similar? A strategic tussle over possession of La Haie Sainte? The pivotal intervention of General Blücher? The suicidal last stand resistance of your bodyguard?]
Waterloo! I was just beating you on the war
Waterloo! Promise to love me for evermore...
I am not quite sure that Benny and Bjorn had completely grasped all the details.
Didn't Donna Summer do her version and then the actor Richard Harris do his.
I think I liked his version better but..................still think it's a dumb song.
And if a cake took me that long to make I'd throw the recipe out. Better still, I'd go out and buy a premade one. I ain't no Martha Stewart. :)

Way too much to copy and paste but it seems to explain everything. It was everything he saw one day.
Remember when cartoons were good natured and no one sweared. Now there are these animated shows and people swear, have sex, you name it. Mind you, having said that, Wiley Coyote died every day and then next day he was alive again. What did that teach us? Maybe adrenaline junkies watched too much Looney Tunes when they were young.
So I worked out second day this week. Bravo for me! Twenty minutes on the elliptical. That's it. I'm not going to make that same mistake I always do where I kill myself for an hour, then am immobile for a month. Nope.
Anyway.....................!!
You are so kind to answer back at all, I think I may have run out of whines.
Except, don't we all, who are seniors, have senior moments to laugh over, throughout the day?
Awhile back, just this morning, I wasn't laughing. Now, I am doing better.
