A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
One of my favorite things?
The weather turning colder and putting on my comfy UGGs for the first time! My feet always get so cold! Just use them more as slippers, they are like wearing sponges on the feet if worn in the snow. Don't try that at home.
We bought a pair of glider rockers for my parent's 25th anniversary and I still have them, but they don't really fit in my house so they are rarely used anymore as they are stuck downstairs where I rarely go except to do laundry.
I remember Windows 95 for Dummies, my sis probably still has it stashed away in her house somewhere... lol
For Dummies is an extensive series of instructional/reference books which are intended to present non-intimidating guides for readers new to the various topics covered. The series has been a worldwide success with editions in numerous languages.
The books are very informative, written by various experts, and one does not have to be new or dumb to the topics covered. Starting way back in technology Dos for dummies, Mac for dummies, my husband ordered Parkinsons Disease for dummies when caregiving a neighbor. Contributing authors such as Dr. Tagliati for example is currently Associate Professor of Neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and diplomate of the Ameican Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
Ruby Tuesday used to offer blackberry cheesecake, about 3" high. It was absolutely delicious.
I love cats, especially Maine Coons. The neighbor has one but her cats unfortunately aren't well cared for. Thankfully the Coon cat doesn't go outside much or she'd be in danger as the other 2 are from the heavy traffic in this area....or from "coons" of a different kind - with the patches over their eyes, long claws, and the ability to get into just about any kind of plastic device humans put out.
The disadvantage is, well, all that fudge does become permanent... on one's hips. Yikes!
Given that vehicles are barred, you'll have the opportunity to take a ride in a horse drawn carriage and see the shops, or if you're more adventurous, you can rent a bicycle and ride off all the fudge you'll eat when you walk into a fudge shop and are overwhelmed by the temptations.
So Send, Ya got a fellar around the place? Is he well trained and housebroke? Can he lift heavy things? Does he have any money coming in? If so, then by all means you should retire immediately if not sooner.
Garden, I am an experience smelly-er and I drink wine occasionally also.
Just asking if that has been all figured out, how you did it, or how the division of responsibility is working, because I don't want to be the mean one, no one should have to be. Do you have any serious advice for me, because I would like to retire.
Well, maybe he can be protector of the seeds. He can sit on his tractor, get a guitar, and sing Blowin' in the Wind just like Bob Dylan. Oh, he can also drink his beer - wouldn't want to deprive him of that pleasure.
So, Windy, will you be the new Seed Protector as well as Master Folk Singer as well as Master Crafts Beer sampler?
SendMe, great idea to appoint, or should I say "anoint", Windy as the Master Grape Processor, but I'm not sure his wife would agree. It might be an issue of Honey-Do vs. Windy's new responsibilities as Winemaker vs. Windy's Wants.
Maybe we could also make him Sommelier Premier so he can taste all the wine he makes before shipping it to his Aging Care friends. We'd just have to make sure all the downstate Fudgies don't get wind (pun intended) of his new occupation and swarm all over the area to get his wine. He'd probably have to figure out a way to send them to Mackinac Island for more fudge and leave his grapes alone.
Coloresue, thanks, if that's meant for me.
My wife is a saint but she's pretty mean to me lots of the time. I keep reminding her I'm retired but she still expects all this productivity around the place. I was hoping retirement was going to be drinking beer and watching ICE ROAD TRUCKERS marathons all the time, but Nooooooooooo.......
Where is Cwillie, the spelling expert when we need one?
G'night, Gershun, spelled that right, huh? Or did you change the spelling again?
