A Tiny Tears doll. She came with a little suitcase containing several beautiful dresses,a red velvet coat and hat, etc. Heaven! I had that doll until a few years ago when I downsized a lot of stuff.

I got approved for a 15 month 0% interest credit card, as well as the Care card. So that's what I needed. Onward to three potentially four dental implants!

Thanks. I applied for one today but it is "pending." Funny how all those credit card offers dried up when I retired. Someone told me about something called a Carecard designed for medical/dental expenses. Anyone hear anything about this? I do pay off any card before interest is charged. Just...

I’m looking at some big dental bills. Ugh. In my working days for large purchases I several times applied for and easily received zero percent interest credit cards for 12 or 15 months just to ease the pay off pain a bit. Just wondering if any such deals are available to retirees drawing money...

I saw an interview with Stanley Livingston—Chip—and watched a few early My Three Sons on YouTube. I’d forgotten that William Frawley played their “maid” before Uncle Charley.

This has to be the ultimate ear worm rock song with such a iconic opening. Steve Winwood was only 18.

I still have the school nightmare occasionally. It is often that I am about to graduate only to find out that I still need a course no one told me about, or that I knew about and just couldn't get myself to go to it for unknown reasons. Also, a teacher nightmare about facing the class...

Introvert who can be an extrovert for short periods -- as much as the situation requires -- but get exhausted very soon and need my solitude and silence. I'm the person who is always first at the party and first to leave. About 2 hours is my limit.

Wonderful! Coincidently, I just toured one I've had my eye on yesterday and put my name on the waiting list. I'm 66 and the wait is about 10 years.

I'm not remembering this clearly but when I had my tooth out and sinus lift last week I'm pretty sure the oral surgeon said he was using a mixture of human and cow bone. Cow? Can this be right? As to the ick factor, well I had C-diff at one point many many years ago and had a fecal transplant...

What set of circumstances lead to an implant? In my case, a tooth that over 20 years had two root canals and an apioectomy (sp?), and nothing more could be done with it to cure pain that kept resurfacing except pulling it. Once pulled, the options are 1) do nothing and have a gap; 2) bridge; 3)...

Just following this thread because I've completed phase 1 for an implant in tooth #14, 2nd from back upper left side. That tooth has been giving me trouble for 20 plus years, so this is long overdue. Tooth is pulled and sinus lifted a week ago. All told, that surgery was easy (circa 20 minutes...

Love Mark Lindsay! Great voice.

I travel to Euro currency countries 3-4x per year. I always take about 100E and make sure I come back with about 100E for the next trip so I never have to change money state-side. Rarely but occasionally I need cash. One time I landed with no cash, needed for the cab from the airport, and the...

It is terrible today in Minnesota! Yellow haze and thick smoke--horrible smell. I've never seen it so bad. Truly hard to breathe.

Boyce and Hart with their marvelous frilly cuffs and infamous "all right Bobby let's go":

Now maybe we can go back to the 50s-era pressure cooker that mom used only in the basement in case it blew up :) Instant pots now have all sorts of similar competitors. I like mine especially for chicken (comes out nice and juicy) and it also doubles as a crock pot.

Alexa and all the other stuff out there spying on us constantly.

I got a big one in one eye about a year ago and it really annoyed me. Eye doc said it might go away--some do, some don't. I was doubtful but just about a month ago I realized it was indeed gone.

Ear worm du jour. I think the moralist in me is just happy he comes to the conclusion that it's his own damn fault... :)

As I reached menopause I grew less and less tolerant of alcohol. Even one watered down glass of white wine now gives me a huge migraine. Consequently I don’t drink. I do miss the experience of having a nice glass of wine.

I've been in MN 38 years and am still pegged as a Chicagoan. And yes, there are parts of MN where I've definitely heard the classic "Fargo" accent.

I stopped driving highways or unfamiliar routes at night in my 50s because I felt a real decline in ability to do so. I don't like driving in general and only make trips within my proximity. For distances I use Uber or the bus.

I have an annual travel insurance policy with Allianz.
