    Show off your dog..or other pet..and how well he/she is treated (and fed)!

    We no longer have dogs, because they all passed on. We have accumulated 7 cats. Four are inside and 3 live in our backyard in a huge catio. We started with one siamese, but we have a neighbor who shoots and/or poisons cats. So when we see him targeting someone, we try to catch it and spay or...

    Who wears a wedding ring

    My husband has never worn one due to work safety. Now that he’s retired, he still doesn’t wear one. I don’t care if he does.

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    We are watching The Pitt on Max. It’s sort of like an ER reboot, but more realistic. It’s excellent. Also, we’ve been watching Red Rock, an Irish police show. It’s a good show on Prime. We just finished Landman, which my husband liked more than I did. It is one of Taylor Sheridan’s shows. Of...

    Have to start thinking about cataract surgery

    I had -10 eyeglasses for years and couldn’t wear contacts. I hated my glasses. They were always so thick. I had mild astigmatism. I think my life long self consciousness has a lot to do with wearing very thick glasses for most of my life and often being teased about them. I rarely would look...

    Toyota/Lexus Hybrid Owners: Tell Me About Your Experiences

    My daughter has a Toyota Sienna hybrid and loves it. You can hardly tell it’s a hybrid, except the gas mileage is so great for a full size van. She thinks it’s about 55-57 combining town and highway driving. To be fair, she lives in a small town and often drives 90 miles to our city.

    Share Your Work Friends (not!) Story

    I’ve stayed good friends with 3 women coworkers. I have coffee or lunch with each of them every month or so. We worked together for 25 yrs or more and we loved to visit with each other.

    How did you choose your retirement date?

    For many of the 33 yrs I worked at my job, I loved it. But in the final years, it became incredibly stressful. I had to take anxiety medication to function. After Christmas break one year, I decided to retire. I gave my board (this was a nonprofit) my notice and agreed to work for a few months...

    Falling down at an old age - lost a friend recently

    I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. I had a terrible fall yesterday and hit my head hard on the kitchen cabinet. We have ceramic tile floors and I slipped on something wet. As I was flying through the air, I was trying to avoid hitting my head on the hard tile, and thankfully hit the cabinet...

    I've never accidentally fallen asleep

    After 10 yrs of retirement, I found one of my great joys is taking an afternoon nap, especially with my old cat nearby. Otherwise, I end up falling asleep when my husband and I watch a tv show in the evening.

    Hot air brush?

    I bought one of the hot brush type thing. I blow dry my hair normally, then usually put in rollers for about 10 minutes. Then I end up with a straight long bob with body. If I let it dry natually, I have a wavy, fuzzy mess. I have used the hot brush to make it look more presentable when I let it...

    Last movie you saw and what you thought...

    We just went last week, because our theater sent us free tickets to Bonhoeffer, Pastor, Spy, Assassin. It was ok, and I was glad it was free. We go several times a year, because we have a college age granddaughter who loves movies. She and my husband went to the newest Matrix movie, and we went...

    We saw it, too, this past year, with our college granddaughter. She loves movies, new, old, as long as they are good. We go to the theater with her often.
